Details:
The TR-6000 13 in. transponder is a multi-purpose, acoustic transponder housed in glass spheres and protected with hardhats. Operating range is 10 km; maximum operating depth is 6700 m (22,000 ft); maximum operating life up to 4 years/200,000 transponds; transmit and receive frequencies in the 7 kHz to 19 kHz range.
The TR-6000 incorporates a releasing mechanism, bolted to the bottom of the hardhat including a release lever which is tripped by a dissolving wire when activated by an acoustic command sent from the surface to the transponder. The entire assembly is a self-buoyant package which will flip over from the "transducer - up position" when deployed, to the "transducer - down position" when released and floating on the surface. Two molded handles in the hardhat are provided for ease of recovery and shipboard handling.
Using the DS-7000 Deck Unit, the TR-6000 & XT-6000 can be commanded to enable or disable their transmitters. Additional optional command configurations are available for external control of other devices.
