Sonotronics temperature telemetry transmitters transmit their current temperature by varying the pulse interval time between pings CTT TRANSMITTERS – CODED TEMPERATURE TELEMETRY Sonotronics temperature telemetry transmitters transmit their current temperature by varying the pulse interval time between pings. For example, a tag at 0 deg Celsius may have an interval time of 700ms, and at 25 deg celsius it may have a pulse interval time of 1450ms. Temperature tag instruction sheets are sent with temperature tags. The temperature transmitters have an accuracy of +/-2 deg C and a resolution of.5 deg C. The transmitters can be user calibrated for accuracies greater than +/- 2 deg C. Temperature Telemetry Transmitters CTT: Range up to 1km+ Notes The typical rule of thumb is to use transmitters that have a weight in water that is 1.5 – 2% of the fish weight in air. Weight in O2 (air) is put only as additional reference. -E is the extension denoting external mount, -I denotes internal implant. You must specify internal or external when ordering transmitters.

The Sonotronics EMT-AR “Accelerometer Transmitter” is designed to provide information pertaining to movement of any animal or target tagged with the transmitter. The EMT-AR contains an onboard 2 dimensional accelerometer. When movement (acceleration) is detected on either axis, the quantity and direction of the acceleration is processed and one of many different possible output algorithms are utilized.

Coded High Power transmitters generate a unique aural sequence, as well as unique combinations of frequency and ping interval allowing detection by both passive and active receivers. The CHP series of transmitters provide maximum detection ranges for use with pelagic studies or in areas of high noise. CHP TRANSMITTERS Coded High Power transmitters generate a unique aural sequence, as well as unique combinations of frequency and ping interval allowing detection by both passive and active receivers. The CHP series of transmitters provide maximum detection ranges for use with pelagic studies or in areas of high noise. Coded High Powered Transmitters Notes Range is typical under good conditions, using a Sonotronics active receiver and directional hydrophone. Autonomy based on a ping rate of once per second. Extened lifetimes are available by cycling the transmitters, please contact Sonotronics for more details CHP transmitters are by default produced with flat ends and small holes for an external mount, but may be ordered with rounded ends for internal implant.

Sonotronics, Inc. offers an Under Water Diver Receiver that allows a diver to approach an object or animal marked with an acoustic transmitter. UDR UNDERWATER DIVER RECEIVER Relocation of a Marked Site Low Visibility Equipment Relocation Sonotronics, Inc. offers an Under Water Diver Receiver that allows a diver to approach an object or animal marked with an ultrasonic pinger*. The UDR can achieve ranges exceeding 1km, while still allowing relocation in zero visibility. The UDR comes with waterproof headphones and has variable gain control to maintain good signal strength and directionality during approach of the target, as well as volume control and a backlit display. The UDR is user programmable for frequency and gain ranges. *The UDR has been used in field research for locating pingers manufactured by SONOTRONICS as well as others. Specifications Length : (From Display to outer rim) 16cm Width : (At outer rim) 11cm Height : (Bottom of Handle to top of unit) 20cm Weight (Air) : UDR: 900g, Headphones: 415g Sensitivity : 20uV, (S+N)/N = 30dB Frequencies : 30 to 90 kHz Controls : Gain control, volume control, frequency control. User can preprogram the unit before the dive for a variety of applications. Autonomy : 8 hour battery life on fresh recharge Accessories Bonephone Optional Bonephone headphone piece can be used in applications where a wetsuit hood is worn, with the earpiece inserted into the hood next to the ear. This can be useful in cold water and high noise environments. When ordering, the Bonephone can be requested as a replacement to the standard headphones, or can be ordered as an additional accessory.

The TH-2 provides a simple method for mobile active tracking: its small size and hydrodynamic shape allows for trolling at speeds up to 5 knots, while the long cable length minimizes the affect of engine and prop noise. Eyelets allow attachment of small weights or diving lures to ensure the hydrophone is kept at depth while trolling. This design, though simple, rivals more elaborate and expensive systems in actual field trials.
