| UDB-9000 Deck Box |

The Universal Deck Box (UDB) is a complete single-unit replacement for all previously offered Teledyne Benthos acoustic deck units, including the DS-7000, DS-8000, and ATM-891. The Universal Deck Box can operate standard acoustic releases, communicate and control acoustic modems, and work with the Teledyne Benthos SMART line of products.
The UDB provides two RS-232 serial ports for data/command line interaction, and a large grey-scale touch screen for simple graphical user control and enhanced sunlight readability.
