User Manual for the Type 8370

WSM 6+ Transponder

UM-8370

Issue A Rev 1

Section 3 – Technical Description

3.7 Functionality

Sonardyne's WSM 6+ offers wideband navigation replies which are capable of significant

improvements in ranging accuracy and repeatability, especially in responder mode. It also retains

compatibility with existing HPR and LUSBL range-bearing acoustic navigation systems. The

acoustic signal level transmitted by the Type 8370-4112 is strongest on axis and useful over a 90

degree cone. It is usually mounted with the transducer pointing upwards – typically for marking

small ROVs.
In circumstances where orientation in the general direction of the ship cannot be guaranteed, such

as for longer ranges in shallow water, the omni-directional response of the Type 8370-1111 omni-

directional transponder is recommended. The Type 8370-1111 has the same functionality as the

8370-4112 apart from depth rating and has a lower transmit acoustic source level on axis but a

wider omni-directional beam-pattern (±120°).
The WSM 6+ offers the following benefits to the user:

•

High capacity nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery with at least 3 days operating life

at 1 pulse/second and rapid-charge capability by external connector.

•

All “HPR 400” channels are supported.

•

All Sonardyne wideband reply signals are supported giving better range accuracy and

repeatability.

•

External connector for "Responder" mode trigger, external power supply, charger and

communications interface.

•

ON/OFF feature via external switch.

•

Acoustic commands to enable and disable the transponder and to enable the Depth Data

reply.

•

Configured using 6G Terminal Lite software.
