Datasheet

Compatt 5 Max

Compatt 5 Max is designed to reduce the total deployment costs associated with vessel time installing reference transponders during both drilling and construction phases of large field developments.

The ultra long battery life enables Compatt 5 Max transponders to be left in situ through out all drilling and construction activities therefore saving vessel installation time which reduces operational cost.

Compatt 5 Max is compatible with all aspects of drilling and construction activity by being compatible with Sonardyne’s LUSBL DP position reference systems (including the new Marksman system) already installed on many drilling and construction vessels.

The Wideband signals enable seamless multi-vessel ‘SIMOPS’ capability ensuring no vessel down time.

They are also compatible with Sonardyne’s survey grade USBL and LBL systems, and other USBL systems such as Kongsberg HiPAP®. This allows then to be used as fixed DP and survey references during all survey tasks including metrology, structure deployments, cut to length and umbilical lay.

The long battery life is provided by either lithium or alkaline battery packs giving up to eight years listening life and typically greater than two years when in constant use. Even longer battery life is available on request if required. Omni or directional transducers are available along with a range of integrated sensors.
