cNODE® TranspondersMini - Medium frequency, 4000 m

IntroductioncNODE® is a family of transponders for underwater acoustic positioning and data link and operates with both HiPAP®, HPR and cPAP® transceivers.The Medium frequency (MF) cNODE® family consists of the following types, each with a separate product specification sheet:• cNODE® Maxi and cNODE® Midi (Medium frequency, 4000 m)• cNODE® Mini (Medium frequency, 4000 m)cNODE® operates with either the HiPAP/HPR 400 channels and telemetry or with the new Cymbal acoustic protocol.

The cNODE® design is very modular and covers a large range of applications with its variety of different transducers, internal and external sensors, housing materials and other add-on functions.Both new configurations and software can easily be downloaded from the Transponder Test and Configuration unit (TTC30) without opening the transponder. The floating collar design makes the launch/recovery operation safe and easy. Spare parts for cNODE® are based on the main modules.

• HiPAP®, HPR and cPAP® transceivers.

• Compatible with both Cymbal acoustic protocol for positioning and data link, and HiPAP®/HPR 400 channels and telemetry.

• SSBL positioning.• LBL positioning.• Acoustic data link for command

and data transfer.

• Range measurement between transponders (typical, 1 σ standard deviation):

- Range accuracy: 0.02 m. - Repeatability: 0.01 m.• Both transponder and responder

functions.• Internal tilt sensor ± 90°. Accuracy

± 2°.

• Pressure relief valve and vent screw (safety devices).

• External connector for transponder configuration and software update via serial line (TTC30).

• Modular design; the transducer, transponder electronics, battery pack and optional add-ons can be replaced individually.
