Description
A key component in Sonardyne’s SIPS System, HGPS (Head and Gun Positioning System) transceivers are intelligent, shock-mounted acoustic devices designed to position seismic sources and tailbuoys. HGPS units are designed to mount on airgun arrays, buoys, towfish and vessels and can be supplied with different transducer arrangements to accommodate an operator’s preferred deployment method. HGPS Transceivers are hard wired into individual channels on the SIPS2 Controller cards and do not need batteries. A two wire D.C. differential system with a floating ground powers the HGPS units. The communications are superimposed on the D.C. level this is the same as that used by XSRS transceivers. Each HGPS/RTS Controller card can handle up to eight HGPS Transceivers. Key Features
- Direct power from topside equipment
- Compatible with XSRS transceivers
- Choice of right-angle and remote transducers
- Shock mounted electronics to withstand harsh operating environments
- Capable of receiving 16 ranges per cycle
- Designed to transmit to an unlimited no of units
- Flash upgradeable firmware
