Micro Beacons 1300 Series

Model 1329A, 1329D, 1320A

Compact acoustic positioning beacons for diver and ROV operations, with depth sensor and remote transducer options.

Description

The 1300 Series Micro Beacons are compact acoustic positioning beacons redesigned for better battery life and improved acoustic protocols for diver and ROV operations. The 1329D includes a 600m depth sensor to aid positional accuracy in shallow water. The 1320A with RM91S(R) remote transducer head places the transducer away from the electronics housing, useful where space is limited or the transducer must be mounted away from noise sources such as ROV thrusters; it can also operate and trickle charge from an ROV 24V supply.
