R500 Acoustic Transponding Release

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Teledyne Benthos is pleaseed to introduce the new R500 Acoustic Release for shallow water operations in up to 500 meters depth.  This new acoustic release is based on the field-proven technology previously introduced in our R2k and R12K acoustic releases, which represent the latest in subsea technology. 

As with our other R-Series Acoustic Releases, the R500 can be used with our full feature UTS-9400 Universal Top Side for those that that already own this topside system, or that require those enhanced capabilities. For those looking for basic, reliable coastal operations, the R500 can be combined with our new Releaseit Deck Unit for a cost-effective shallow water alternative.

 

Key Features:

• Every R-Series release is tested to its rated depth ensuring system reliability.
• Battery status is indicated in both actual voltage and energy percent remaining, providing the best indication of remaining service life.
• Field replaceable batteries minimize the need for factory service.
• Unit tilt measurement 0-180° (+/- 1%) available on command, ensuring the exact orientation of your subsea system is fully understood.
• Positive confirmation of release status on command allows for complete situational awareness
