Datasheet
Compatt 5 Midi

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.

When size is an operational factor, the Compatt 5 Midi offers all the functionality and performance of standard-sized Compatt but in a shorter housing that can be easily deployed by ROV.

Available with Omni Directional and Directional transducers for deep water high noise applications, options for the Compatt 5 Midi also include a flat, square inclinometer endcap for accurate alignment on subsea structures. For the first time, Compatt 5 endcaps also now have the option of a combined sound velocity and acoustic release mechanism.
