RT-1.524525-FF transceiver antenna

Suitable for use with your hydroacoustic modems and communication devices

Purpose

RT-1.524525-FF is a single-element transceiver antenna for greater depths. It differs from the basic RT-1.524525-1 by a water-filled central part that compensates for pressure: its maximum external hydrostatic pressure is 100 bar, against 30 bar for the standard antennas in the range, which corresponds to roughly 1000 m of water column. The maintenance-free monoblock design and the absence of corrosive parts are retained.

Key specifications

According to the specification, the housing is 64×62 mm (diameter × height), weighs about 0.34 kg dry, and the maximum applied voltage (peak) is 200 V. The electrical capacitance is 20 ± 5 nF and the operating temperature range is −40 to +60 °C. The shielded, polyurethane-insulated cable is 5 ± 0.5 mm in diameter and 1 m long as standard, and the housing has a mounting slot. A 3D model of the antenna in STEP format is available in the documentation on docs.unavlab.com.

Compatibility

According to their specifications, this antenna is used by devices rated for depths of up to 1000 m: the Zima2-RK responder beacon of the Zima2 USBL system and the RWLT Pinger-K navigation pinger of the RWLT system. For depths of up to 300 m, choose RT-1.524525-1, RT-2.332820-1 or RT-1.332820-1.
