XMBF-200 Data Sheet

XMBF-200 High Intensity Surface Flasher:

NEW

XMBF-200 is an independently powered, self contained surface flasher that is fully submersible to 200m. This state of the art flasher is part of the micro beacon line of products and contains the latest technology available. Our super-bright LED provides unparalleled visibility in even the worst conditions. The XMBF-200 is significantly smaller then other flashers meaning easier storage and deployment without any sacrifice in performance or operational visibility

  • Miniaturized design
  • Microprocessor controlled, available in multiple colour options Long lasting operational life
  • Multiple activation options: Reed switch, dip switch & solid state tilt switch for “turtling” applications

 

   
 

Casabel Data Sheet

Casabel Deep Sub Surface Mooring Marker:

The Casabel Iridium Satellite Mooring Location Beacon continuously monitors for unplanned or accidental release of subsurface instrument moorings. Casabel makes use of the bi-directional, global, real time Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) service in combination with GPS. Oceanographic and environmental instrument mooring professionals have greater control in instantly and accurately locating and recovering high value, free drifting mooring assets at sea.

  • Real-time Iridium/GPS satellite communication

  • Global bi-directional communication control

  • Rated to 6000m deployment depth

  • Instantaneous alert

  • Reliable Benthos® glass sphere instrument housing

  • LED visual on/off indicators

  • Iridium downlink signal activation

   

Sable Data Sheet

SABLE Sub Surface Mooring Marker:

NOW RATED AT 5000m

The Sable Subsurface Iridium Satellite Mooring Location Beacon continuously monitors for unplanned or accidental release of subsurface instrument moorings. Sable makes use of the bi-directional, global, real time Iridium satellite Short Burst Data (SBD) network in combination with GPS position location. Oceanographic and environmental instrument mooring professionals have greater control in instantly and accurately locating and recovering high value, free drifting assets at sea. Sable’s sleek tubular design allows it to be easily retrofitted into subsurface flotation such as syntactic foam.

  • Global bi-directional communication control

  • Durable titanium housing with delrin end caps.

  • Rated to 5000m deployment depth

  • Instantaneous alert

  • Real-time Iridium satellite communication

  • LED visual on/off indicators

  • Iridium downlink signal activation

   

MELO Data Sheet

MELO  Surface Mooring Marker:    

Melo is an independently powered, self-contained satellite transceiver packaged in a ruggedized, UV protected marine grade housing suitable for attachment to various surface buoys and navigational markers. Melo makes use of the low power, real time Iridium satellite constellation and GPS to reliably transmit the buoy's position automatically or on demand at any time. Melo’s one piece, user replaceable battery pack is designed to provide three years of normal reporting or over 3000 bi-directional messages. Melo data is delivered via the email-based Short Burst Message (SBD) Iridium service making Melo easy to use and less expensive than traditional one-way satellite watch circle services.

  • Command and control functions to acquire location on demand and reconfigure reporting schedule
  • Melo PC software console allows users to easily generate and manage messages
  • No need for traditional time consuming radio direction finding
  • Received GPS position pinpoints the beacon accurately
  • O-ring sealed end cap for quick access to replace batteries
  • Internal pull-out chassis to easily service
  • Low cost SBD Iridium service
  • Remote internet data via 9505A SDB enabled sat phone
  • Waterproof housing to 10 m
  • Battery life meter expressed in percentage
