Faster set up and calibration, greater equipment utilisation and reduced risk. These are just some of the cost saving benefits of the latest range of Compatt 5 Wideband transponders from Sonardyne.
All Medium Frequency Compatt 5s now incorporate Fusion Wideband Technology which uses advanced digital signalling techniques to dramatically improve the performance of acoustic positioning, navigation and telemetry systems.
The faster and more rugged wideband telemetry scheme supported by Compatt 5, enables baseline measurement and calibration data to be acquired faster and more reliably, allowing users to begin work sooner.
The Types 8000 Omni-Directional, 8003 Directional and 8103 Deep Directional Compatt 5 are ‘Standard’ length transponders that are suited to a wide range of subsea applications. The design offers the perfect balance between size, acoustic output and battery life.
Options include 3,000, 5,000 and 7,000 metre depth ratings, lithium or alkaline battery packs, combined high accuracy inclinometers and Digiquartz pressure sensors equipped endcaps and power for external sensors. For the first time, Compatt 5 endcaps also now have the option of a combined sound velocity and acoustic release mechanism.

Title Description V10.08 Compatt 5 Firmware Upgrade - No: 09-001.pdf Following the release of Compatt 5 firmware V10.08, two problems have been brought to light when installing the upgrade into older Compatt units. Selecting Compatt 5 power levels in Fusion software - No: 07-007.pdf Compatt 5 has four power levels which can be selected by acoustic command. This bulletin explains the use of these levels and how they are selected when using Fusion software. Compatt 5 - Interfacing an External Sound Speed Sensor - No: 06-010.pdf This Technical Bulletin is intended to provide instructions for the correct interfacing of an external sound speed sensor to a Compatt 5 transponder. Compatt 5 - Validation of Wideband Ranging Accuracy - No: 06-004.pdf Controlled trials completed in May 2006 validate the absolute accuracy of Wideband baseline measurements between 4 production standard omni-direction MF Compatt 5 transponders. False-Positive detection of Virus on Sonardyne Software CD's - No: 11-001.pdf We have received a number of reports that one of our commonly distributed Compatt 5 utilities is being flagged as infected by a number of popular antivirus products. Sonardyne International operate a strictly controlled software release procedure and virus check all the elements of any software build both before and after the ISO image is created. Compatt 5, DPT and DPTi Battery Consumption - No: 07-002.pdf This document provides details of non-critical battery consumption issues affecting a limited number of Compatt 5, DPT and DPTi transponders Compatt 5 - Inclinometer Sensor- No: 12-006.pdf It has been found that the screws holding the inclinometer 2 sensor halves together had worked loose. Following discussions with the supplier they have agreed to immediately change the fixing method to Sonardyne's preferred method of using Loctite 290. Sonardyne are advising customers to this potential problem and methods to secure the screws. - Manuals
