The DH-4 provides the greatest range and precision in locating transmitters from 30kHz to 100kHz. The parabolic reflector provide 16db of gain over a comparable omnidirectional hydrophone, and yields a calculated DI of nearly 25db, reducing the effect of environmental noise. The DH-4 is the primary hydrophone for manual/active tracking. MODEL DH-4 DIRECTIONAL HYDROPHONE The DH-4 provides the greatest range and precision in locating transmitters from 30kHz to 100kHz.

Receivers Sonotronics manufactures receivers that remotely detect ultrasonic transmitters and decode transmitter IDs and sensor data. These receivers fall into two categories: active tracking receivers and passive tracking receivers. Active Tracking Receivers Active tracking receivers work much like traditional radio receivers: they heterodyne an incoming signal with a local oscillator to create an audible signal that can be heard through headphones or a speaker. Built-in displays show the detection frequency, transmitter ID, and any sensor data encoded in the transmitter emission. These receivers also include local memory, allowing detections to be recorded for later analysis. Like radio receivers, active receivers require an external sensor—in this case, a hydrophone. For proper operation, the hydrophone must be submerged to detect transmitters more than a few meters away. UDR Underwater Diver Receiver USR-23 Ultrasonic Receiver Passive Tracking Receivers Passive tracking receivers are used primarily in long-term fisheries studies to record the movements of tagged animals over months. These self-contained receivers include a hydrophone and electronics for decoding and logging data from passing transmitters. They are typically submerged deep enough to avoid boat traffic and must be retrieved to download the collected detection data. In some applications, a passive underwater receiver can be paired with a surface unit to provide near real-time detection information. For a successful study, passive receivers must support the protocols used by all deployed transmitters, as well as any transmitters already within detection range. They are often arranged in lines or arrays to maximize detections as tagged animals pass through an area. In some cases, a passive receiver may be configured with low gain to confirm the presence of a tagged animal within a very small area.

The kit has become the most frequent package used by first time researchers. UDR-Kit The UDR-kit contains all of the basic tools necessary for locating transmitters from a surface vessel and while diving. This includes the UDR receiver, external hydrophone adapter, directional hydrophone and useful accessories, housed in a rugged Pelican case.

MINISURT Sonotronics proudly introduces this new addition to available fisheries research technologies. This small, inexpensive, long life unit allows for tracking 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 miniSURT is its ability to save valuable field time by simplifying deployments thus reducing project costs. miniSURT Sonotronics proudly introduces this new addition to available fisheries research technologies.

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 miniSURT is its ability to save valuable field time by simplifying deployments thus reducing project costs. The miniSURT brings new features and options to the marketplace aiding in the continued development of fisheries research technologies. Applications Include: 1. Site fidelity studies 2. Spawning area detection 3. Animal attachment for social experiments 4. Simple positioning in array configurations 5. Gates for Active tracking boundaries 6. Towable: for area surveys The miniSURT allows simple mooring by using tie-wraps to connect to small rope. Transmitters within the units detection area will be logged to the on board memory along with date and time. The miniSURT may be configured in the field to allow frequency scanning for ACT coded transmitters, or use with rcode transmitters. The miniSURT is designed to allow mounting to an animal as a small (16mm diameter) expendable unit, as a remotely powered, cabled RS232 system, or as a standalone submersible receiver powered by a single AA lithium battery. miniSURTsoft The miniSURT is compatible with Sonotronics integrated software for communications with logging receivers – SURtool, SURsoft, and SURsoftDPC. SURtool or SURsoft may be used to set time and date, download data, configure detection frequency and many other options. The data processing center can be used to process and examine the data obtained from miniSURT’s, saving valuable time in sorting data. Features include examining data by transmitter, processing telemetry data, and viewing a graphic display of activity at a passive receiver.

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.
