C3D-Tow

The TTV-290 series of tow vehicles is designed for hydrodynamic stability in most sidescan towing applications. The Sidescan transducer bays re designed to offer 20, 30, and 40 degree downward looking positions for optimum performance in a variety of different applications. The stainless steel midplate construction gives users a rigid and stable platform to mount additional sensors. The high visibility yellow Polyethylene covers are designed to handle years of use. These new and improved shells are more resistant to impact than earlier models, and are easy and cost effective to modify 
or replace.

Subsea Units
TTV-296

C3D Tow Vehicle - ADSL
TTV-296 Tow Vehicle (ADSL) operates at 200 kHz and is designed for operations up to a 2000 meter depth with cable length up to 5000 meters at 5 Mbits throughput. The standard vehicle is equipped with a Sonardyne Radian motion reference unit and a Falmouth Scientific NXIC CTD. The TTV-296 offers (2) additional RS-232 communication ports with 12 and/or 24 VDC. These can be used to interface with a magnetometer, responder, and/or a high resolution motion sensor.

TTV-297

C3D Tow Vehicle - VDSL
TTV-297 Tow Vehicle (VDSL) operates at 200 kHz and is designed for operations up to 2000 meter depth with cable length up to 1000 meters at 7.5 Mbits throughput. The standard vehicle is equipped with a Sonardyne Radian motion reference unit and a Falmouth Scientific NXIC CTD. The TTV-297 offers (2) additional RS-232 communication ports with 12 and/or 24 VDS. These can be used to interface with a magnetometer, responder, and/or high resolution motion sensor.

 
Surface Units
Transceiver
CL-162

VDSL Transceiver
Includes a 270 volt power supply for the tow vehicle, a high speed communications link (VDSL, 7.5 MBit/sec) for cable operations up to 1000 meters (single co-ax), and an Ethernet hub for interfacing between the tow vehicle.

CL-163

ADSL Transceiver
Includes a 270 volt power supply for the tow vehicle, communications link (ADSL, 5 Mbit/sec) for long cable operations up to 5000 meters using a single co-axial cable. This unit interfaces the topside data acquisition computer (DAC) with the tow vehicle.

Digital Acquisition Computer (DAC)
This industrial rackmount computer comes in a rugged case that is designed for optimum acquisition performance and durability. It comes with a high end Intel processor. The hard drive offers ample room for data storage and is minimally 500 GB in size. This computer also offers a Gigabyte Ethernet connection. In addition, DACs come with a high resolution 20" flat screen monitor, a full function keyboard, and a mouse.
