RS Aqua ARC (Acoustic Release Canister)
Seabed retrieval canister for Innovasea VR2AR and Ascent acoustic release receivers, proven on over 1000 deployments.
Description
ARC attaches to Innovasea VR2AR (and Ascent AR) acoustic release receivers. When the release is activated, an upper plate with three 11" trawl floats brings the receiver to the surface while a Dyneema rope spools out of the canister so the seabed anchor can be recovered.
Key features
- 150 m, 300 m or 450 m of Dyneema rope
- Heavy acetal body with 316 stainless steel legs
- Mounting for PAM recorders, CTDs, ADCPs and cameras
- ARC X longer canister for the VR2AR-X
- Optional Delrin anti-tangle braces to reduce snagging by fishing gear
Applications
Diver-free recovery of seabed receivers and instrument moorings.
