User Manual for the Type 8370
WSM 6+ Transponder
UM-8370
Issue A Rev 1
Section 5 – Operation 18
The WSM 6+ has a red plastic sleeve around the transponder to provide both electrical and some
mechanical isolation. Units should be mounted with their body axis vertical.
As the Type 8370-4x12 transducer has a Directional beam pattern, it can be located with the face of
the transducer flush with the level of the ROV’s syntactic foam buoyancy. This will serve to protect
the transponder in the event of accidental collisions during ROV operations.
The Type 8370-1x11 transducer has an omni-directional beam pattern, therefore it must be located
with the transducer above the level of the ROV’s syntactic foam buoyancy to obtain sufficient “line of
sight” in high elevation tracking scenarios.
5.6 Electrical Connections
If the unit is operating in “Responder” mode or with external power, a mating cable with the
appropriate wiring must be used to connect the WSM 6+ to the vehicle or external power source.
The
trigger
pin and
common
must be connected via an umbilical to the
HPR
or
USBL
system on
the vessel.
The cable types are described below.
• Standard housing mating cable type 820-5163 (see Section 11.2.1 “Standard Housing
Wiring Connections” ).
• External release option mating cable type 820-6796 (see Section 11.2.2 “ External Remote
Release Option Wiring Connections “.
Note
Refer to Cautions in Section 2 – Safety “Damage to external connector when submerged” .
