Details:
The DS-8750 Acoustic Deck Set is designed to be a low cost companion deck unit for the Benthos Acoustic Release Models 875 and 875-PUB. Capable of sending all of the Benthos FSK Commands, the DS- 8750 can also be used as a field back up unit for the DS-7000 Acoustic Deck Set. It is ideally suited for basic release operations requiring only command capability.
The black plastic molded water proof box is 18.5" long x 14.6" wide x 7.5" deep and weighs 28 pounds including the transducer. All set up and control functions are push buttons on the front panel. Frequencies and commands are selected with up/down arrows.
The 13 FSK commands designated A-M are available for transmission on any of the transmit frequencies (7.0 - 15.0 kHz in 500 Hz increments excluding 12.5 kHz) to provide for 208 unique commands. These FSK commands are compatible with any other Benthos acoustic device. The single 2 line by 16 character display is used to show the configuration of the outgoing command as well as other messages. The DS-8750 operates only on DC. This can be either the internal batteries which will provide a minimum of 6 hours field use or external 12 VDC. The internal batteries are charged via 110-240 VAC but the DS-8750 will not operate on AC power. A venting interlock prevents AC operation while the batteries are charging.
