Edgetech Coastal Acoustic Release Transponder (CART)

EdgeTech Coastal Acoustic Release Transponder (CART) has been designed to provide our customers with a comprehensive tool for release applications from the surf zone through the continental shelf. With standard transponder capability, a depth rating of 1000 meters, and a release load of 500 kg, the CART will significantly reduce both inventory and life cycle costs.

The CART incorporates EdgeTech proven acoustic release technology and a robust motor driven release mechanism to enhance the unit’s reliability and ease of operation. The CART also incorporates the Active Biofouling Prevention (ABP) mechanism, which inhibits biofouling by scheduled rotation of key mechanical components.

The rugged external materials are nickel aluminum bronze alloy, hard-coated aluminum or stainless steel. The unit provides 1.5 years of operation on alkaline batteries, with a long life option available for extended deployments.

The acoustic command structure has proven reliable in the harshest of underwater environments. The standard system has a transponder capability, as well as enable, disable, and release commands. Every command is unique and no command is reissued, thus eliminating the risk of unintentional operation of the system. After receiving a valid command, the release returns status information including attitude (vertical or horizontal) and release state (released or not released).
