Applied Acoustics products

The 1300 Series Micro Beacon by Applied Acoustics has been re-engineered for enhanced versatility, offering improved battery life and superior acoustic protocols, making it suitable for various applications including diver operations and remotely operated vehicles (ROV) tasks. One notable variant, the 1329D, incorporates a 600-meter depth sensor to enhance positional accuracy in shallow water settings. Channel configurations can be adjusted using a USB adaptor cable and dedicated beacon editor software. The 1320A model further extends functionality with an optional remote transducer head, which connects to the main unit via an interconnect lead. This configuration is optimal in scenarios where the transducer needs to be mounted away from electrical noise sources, such as ROV thrusters. Additionally, the beacon can be powered and trickle-charged using an external 24V ROV supply, allowing for extended operation periods. This adaptability in channel selection and operating power source ensures reliability and precision in challenging marine environments.

The 1439 Activation Transponder is a combined positioning transponder and triggering device, designed for use in a wide range of subsea control and positioning tasks. Providing the twin functions of confirming safe distance from a target and receiving and acting upon a specified acoustic signal, the 1439 Activation Transponder can be used as a remote trigger in many applications including to actuate a hydraulic valve or inflate a lift bag.
