Datasheet

OBC/LRT Deck Unit

LRTs, LATs, Coastal Transponders and TZ/OBC Transponders are commanded using a Type 7967-000-01 transponder deck unit. The system comprises of a deck unit and dunking transducer supplied with 10 metres 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 LRT (Lightweight Release Transponder),  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.
