Sonotronics proudly introduces this new addition to available fisheries research technologies. This rugged, inexpensive, long life unit allows for detection of fish passage within its detection area. Strings, arrays, or individual receivers can be utilized depending on the resolution of detection desired in the study. One of the main principles behind the SUR is its ability to save valuable field time, potentially reducing project costs. The SUR-1 brings new features and options to the marketplace aiding in the continued development of fisheries research technologies.
Features The SUR is simply moored using the eye bolt on the bottom. Its natural buoyancy will keep the unit upright in the water column. Transmitters within the units detection area will be logged to the on board memory along with date and time. The SUR can be interrogated remotely for the presence of data, allowing it to be left alone with no data hits. Data is then downloaded via the serial port.
The SUR-1 is a stand-alone submersed unit which allows for detection and logging of the same transmitters used in manual tracking, including any Sonotronics past or present transmitters. The SUR-1 is a scanning receiver allowing for transmitters on different frequencies to be logged, also allowing exclusive channels for specialty transmitters.
The SUR-1 is designed to interface with a variety of communication systems allowing for greater system flexibility and reduce field time. The CUB-1 cellular uplink buoy allows for real time cell phone communication upon animal passage. Radio uplink buoys are now available allowing for remote data download and configuration. 900MHz and 2.4GHz (internationally approved) bands are available. Ranges exceed 2km.
Power Point Demo SURs can be used to determine 2D movement throughout an environment, fish passage, fish movement in a river system, and a variety of other applications. The power point demonstration will allow you to view examples of how SUR's can be utilized in a variety of situations. Click here to download the Power Point Demo.
SURsoft Free software for communications with the SUR's - SURsoft. SURsoft can be used to set time and date, download data, program frequency scanning maps, and many other options. SURsoft now includes a data processing module (As shown on the figure). The data processing center can be used to process and examine the data obtained from SUR's, saving valuable time in sorting data. Features include examining data by transmitter, processing telemetry data, and viewing a graphic display of activity at an SUR. Click here to download the SURsoft data sheet.
SUR-PPC SUR-PPC is the newest addition to the Sonotronics product line, designed to continue our philosophy of simplicity of use combined with quality data collection. SUR-PPC is a fully functional Pocket PC containing software for communicating with SUR's. This tool allows the user to avoid dragging laptops computers into the field to service SUR's. The unit comes with a water resistant hard field case and data cable.
SUR-PPC also contains all of the features standard to the HP IPAQ 3115, including Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, Outlook, wireless internet, and many other features.
The SUR-01's available ping and response transponding allows researchers to "ping down" to the SUR on a separate frequency, asking it to "ping up" its status, which can be detected with a manual tracking receiver. The SUR transmits a ping sequence related to the presence/absence of data in its flash memory. On many projects, this can save field time as the units do not need to be retrieved to determine data presence.
SUR-PPC: This is a fully functional Pocket PC (HP IPAQ Rx3115) which has SURsoft PPC software for easy service of SUR's in the field. The unit comes with a data cable and a water proof case.
SIT-01: This is the SUR Interrogator Transmitter. This a 60kHz transmitter with a specific pulse rate used to interrogate SUR's for the presence of data. Only one SIT is needed to service multiple SUR's.
SURBAT: This is a replacement battery for an SUR.
