Sonardyne 7967 Deck Unit

Part of Sonardyne’s Coastal Acoustic Product Range, the Sonardyne Type 7967 Deck Unit OBC/LRT Deck Unit is used to command and programme Sonardyne’s range of TZ/OBC transponders and Lightweight Release Transponders (LRTs). It comprises of a deck unit and dunking transducer supplied with 10metres of cable.

‍

The deck unit is used initially to program the acoustic identity of the transponder, test the transponder and in the case of the Lightweight Release Transponders load the release ‘bit’ prior to deployment. Once deployed, it can be used to measure ranges to the transponder and prior to sending a secure release command relocate the transponder. The deck unit can also be controlled via RS232 enabling raw range data to be logged to a PC for processing.
