| Definition | A series of seabed reference transponders designed to be used by ultra-short baseline (USBL) and long and ultra-short baseline (LUSBL) acoustic positioning systems installed on dynamically positioned (DP) vessels. The DPT 6 supports Sonardyne Wideband 2 acoustic ranging and telemetry, providing high accuracy positioning and robust performance in noisy and multipath conditions. The transponders feature hundreds of channels to reduce interference to and from other acoustic systems, enabling easier simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) on vessels. The device is constructed from an anodised aluminium alloy, with a protective polyurethane sleeve. It is fitted with a reliable release mechanism to enable the unit to be deployed in a floatation collar and recovered to the surface without remotely operated vehicle (ROV) intervention. Real time diagnostics on ranges are available to enable quality control. All types in the series operate in the medium frequency band (20 - 34 kHz), and feature a temperature sensor, tilt switch, strain gauge pressure sensor, and inclinometer tilt sensor as standard. Three depth ratings are available (3000, 5000, and 7000 m). Ranging precision is better than 15 mm. Battery life (listening) is 833 or 1390 days (alkaline and lithium respectively). All types have 500 unique Wideband 1 and 2 addresses. | ||
