VA500 Altimeter
500kHz underwater altimeter for ROV, AUV and hydrographic use, with 0.1m – 100m range and an optional 0.01% pressure sensor.
Description
The VA500 Altimeter addresses underwater positioning for the ROV, AUV and hydrographic community. Signal processing provides stable, repeatable readings from a 500kHz broadband transducer with millimetre precision.
Key features
- 0.1m – 100m range
- RS232 / RS485 / 0-5V and 0-10V analogue outputs
- Wide range power supply in a compact, robust package
- Optional integrated high accuracy (0.01%) pressure sensor, as used in the miniIPS
Applications
Altitude above seabed for ROVs and AUVs, and hydrographic survey positioning.
