Description
SIPS 2 Tailbuoy Transceivers are
intelligent acoustic devices used to
measure one way slant range
distances underwater.
The unit, based on the SIPS 2 XSRS,
is specifically designed to mount on
or under a tailbuoy with its power
supplied by the tailbuoy battery
instead of the XSRS battery pack.
The unit is available in several
different variants, including right-
angle or remote transducer and can
be fitted with either AGP or AGM
connectors.
Power is supplied to the unit via a
standard 4 pin AGP or AGM
connector at 12 – 60 volts DC.
Communications, which are taken
from the streamer coil circuit, also
run through this connector.
Each receiver is capable of receiving
1 of 60 unique digital signals. The
use of digital acoustic signals and
digital processing techniques enable
the XSRS to transmit and receive
signals in the same event. In
addition, they are able to transmit
and receive SIPS 1 style tone burst
for cross wake ranges.
Key Features
• Removes the need to change
batteries on tailbuoy mounted units
• Compatible with XSRS and HGPS
transceivers
• Inter-tailbuoy ranges can be
measured
• Capable of receiving 16 ranges
per cycle
• Designed to transmit to an
unlimited no of units
Once fitted to a tailbuoy the software
requires only a simple change of
device number to enable the tailbuoy
transceiver unit to become
operational.
