Teledyne Benthos New Acoustic Release Products

Teledyne Benthos has announced the launch of new Acoustic Release products:
 
·         UTS-9400 Universal Top Side
·         R2K Acoustic Release
·         TESTin In Air Test Unit

UTS-9400 Universal Top Side is a complete single-unit replacement for all previously offered Teledyne Benthos acoustic deck units. This Universal Top Side is used to operate all standard acoustic releases and to control and communicate with Teledyne Benthos’ full line of acoustic modems and positioning products. The UTS is the result of a focused engineering effort to devise the ideal top side unit for any level of user. From the novice user to the seasoned pro, the UTS delivers a user-friendly interface, with powerful, intuitive communication, command and control features to ensure you remain in control of your operations at all times.

Test It is a fully functioning “in air” pre-deployment acoustic tester. This battery operated (AA Alkaline), lightweight unit is capable of generating all commands needed to test your “R” series Release in the lab or on deck prior to deployment. The unit is splash proof and is designed to withstand exposure to marine environments. This unit allows you the opportunity to move freely around the lab or deck of a ship testing your “R” series Releases without the need to have your top side deck unit nearby.

R2K Acoustic Release Rated to 2000 meters, the R2K represents the latest in Teledyne Benthos acoustic release technology. The newly implemented electronics architecture provides leading-edge features, such as battery voltage indication, tilt measurements in 1 degree increments, and other enhancements, while retaining the trusted and proven release mechanical design, providing users with the best of both worlds.
