WHS Wireless Hydrophone Systems:
Features and Benefits

 
 
   
Real-Time Monitoring
Monitor real-time activity in acoustic environments - by air as well as by boat - thereby simplifying set up and minimizing the risk of missed data.

Eliminate Hard-wire Cable Connections
Wireless Hydrophone Systems eliminate the need for underwater/direct cable connections and with it the costs and effort typically associated with installing and maintaining long cable runs.

Ease of Deployment
Wireless Hydrophone Systems are secured by anchor. This deployment method significantly reduces deployment time over conventional acoustic hydrophone or bottom-moored datalogging systems.

Range Performance
Sensitivity of Wireless Hydrophone Systems in combination with the SRX_400 receiver, result in a telemetry system that maximizes overall range performance. Radio reception range can be several kilometers for systems using land-based receiver in line of site with WHS.

Automatic and Manual Gain Control
Manual Gain Control allows on-site system calibration based on coverage requirements. Adaptive Gain Control dynamically reduces gain in the presence of variable noise sources e.g., boat traffic, rough seas, resulting in better signal discrimination and maximized signal detection.

Field Replaceable Battery Pack
The field replaceable alkaline battery pack provides a simple, dependable and low-cost power source to ensure downtime is minimized.

Battery Power Status Indicator
Battery power level is routinely monitored by the WHS and its corresponding status is transmitted every hour. This eliminates the guesswork as to when batteries need changing and assures the user that the system is functioning.
