SeaTrac Standard

Model X150 USBL beacon + X110 transponder beacon

USBL positioning system (X150 + X110 beacons) for real-time tracking of ROVs, AUVs and divers to 2000m, with 1km range and up to 99 targets.

Description

The SeaTrac Standard system combines an X150 USBL beacon with an X110 transponder beacon for real-time position tracking of ROVs and AUVs down to 2000m. Both beacons are equipped with AHRS and Active Doppler Compensation, and their 316 stainless steel housings suit larger inspection-class ROV installations.

Key features

  • 1km horizontal and 1km vertical (hemispherical) acoustic range
  • Range resolution ±0.1m, dependent on velocity-of-sound accuracy
  • SeaTrac PinPoint software interrogates up to 99 beacons from a single X150
  • Active Doppler compensation for beacon speeds up to 15kts
  • Bidirectional acoustic data exchange (24–32kHz, 100 baud)
  • Accepts external heading input and outputs NMEA
  • 9–28VDC supply; approx. 0.6W idle and 6W transmitting

Applications

ROV and AUV tracking; the X110 can be battery powered for standalone diver tracking. OEM systems and software SDKs are available.
