Applied Acoustics - Model 1300 Series -Micro Beacons for Diver and ROV Positioning

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.
