ACOUSTIC RELEASE TRANSPONDER RT6-1000

The Release Transponder 6 (RT 6-1000) has been designed for use in continental shelf waters to water depths of 1,000 meters using Sonardyne’s Wideband®2 acoustic ranging and telemetry protocol.

RT 6-1000 has both receive and transmit functions, enabling accurate slant ranges and position to be accurately determined, and release actuation confirmed with a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 150 kg.

RT 6-1000 can be used in both Transponder Mode (subsea) and Topside Control Mode (to release another subsea RT 6-1000) using the Sonardyne RT6 App on an NFC enabled Android™ device or tracked and released using a Ranger 2 6G USBL system.

The Sonardyne RT6 App has been specially developed to configure, load the release nut prior to deployment and release the RT 6-1000. It can also run self-test functions, read battery status, add a GPS marker of your deployment position and locate a deployed RT 6-1000.
