Datasheet
Programmable Acoustic Navigator (PAN)
Description
Sonardyne’s Type 7145
Programmable Acoustic Navigator
(PAN) is a microcomputer-controlled
unit dedicated to the transmission,
reception and decoding of acoustic
signals.
It is part of Sonardyne’s integrated
family of underwater acoustic
navigation and telemetry equipment.
The system is applicable to a wide
range of tasks in underwater
engineering measurement, remote
control and monitoring.
The Medium Frequency (MF) version
operates in the frequency band 18 to
36 kHz. This provides the best
compromise between long range,
accurate positioning and operation
in high level of noise. When
operating in the Low Frequency (LF)
band, transponder ranges of over 10
km are obtainable. When working
with Extra High Frequency (EHF)
Compatts, accuracies of 30 mm or
better can be achieved.
PAN is available in all frequency
bands (LF, MF, EHF) and is field
convertible by substitution of circuit
cards.
Key Features
• Command of template positioning
systems and spool-piece measuring
equipment
• The PAN can be controlled by a
computer terminal or master
computer via an RS232C serial
data link or the popular IEEE 488
instrumentation bus.
• Internal rechargeable batteries
allow operation away from mains
supplies
• Two transducer ports which are
software-selectable
• LF, MF or EHF versions
• Portable or rack mounted models
available
