SPT and MPT x3x series TRANSPONDER SET-UP AND OPERATION This chapter contains a breaf overview of how to set-up and operate a transponder. The transponders are designed for operation in water only. Caution The transponder unit and the battery are delivered as separate units.
Transponder set-up and operation System set-up All transponders are preset by the manufacturer. The channel setting may be changed if required. This can be done as follows: • Use of internal switches, or • use of acoustic telemetry from a HiPAP or aHPR 400 system. (A HPR 300 system can not send telemetry for this purpose.) For information about set-up of a transponder, refer to APOS Instruction manual /APOS on-line help.
SPT and MPT x3x series Pigtail External connector (CD40 28) MPT 339 RspSx 110Vac Figure 6 Example of external connector with pigtail Transponder in operation Caution The pigtail must always be connected. If it is removed, the transponder will not work at all. This applies for all types of external connections.
Transponder set-up and operation Transponder not in operation If 110 V is not present, (when the transponder is not in operation) you are advised to disconnect the pigtail to save battery power. Mounting A transponder may be secured to a subsea structure using mounting brackets, or fitted with an anchor weight and floating collar for location on the open seabed.
SPT and MPT x3x series Positioning of a transponde Positioning of a transponder can be done in two ways: The normal way is that the topside send a request to the transponder, the transponder answer the request after a given time delay. The other way is with the transponder in beacon mode, then the transponder acts as an acoustic lighthouse.
Transponder set-up and operation Inclinometer sensors On both the /I and the two /II transponder units, the front direction is marked. This is illustrated in figure 7 and 8. The inclinometers’ X and Y-axes are referenced to this mark. • The Y-axis is parallel to the mark and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the unit.
SPT and MPT x3x series Note When deploying the II transponder, the two units must be positioned in the same direction (referring to the top markings). Responder function To activated this function, the transponder must be connected directly to the HiPAP / HPR system via a cable. •...

Transponder set-up and operation Release mechanism - aluminium models The release function is initiated at the HiPAP / HPR system. When activated, the transponder will float to the surface. Note Once the transponder reaches the surface, it can be lifted from the water by attaching a hook / rope to the transducer cage.
Page 46
SPT and MPT x3x series The release mechanism can be operate in one of the two following ways: • Automatic • Manual Automatic release Automatic release is normally used when the transponder is submerged. • The release is performed within 10-15 seconds after the command is performed.

SPT and MPT x3x series Composition and information on ingredients Battery chemistry A transponder lithium battery consists of Lithium Metal cells with chemistry: Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Li/SOCl2 • Negative electrode: Lithium metal (Li) • Positive electrode: Carbon • Electrolyte: Solution of lithium tetrachloroaluminate (LiAlCl4) in thionyl chloride Battery weight and lithium content...
Safety information Battery design A transponder lithium battery consists of several battery cells that are electrical connected, both in serial and parallel. There are transponder batteries with different number of cells, voltages and capacity. All transponder batteries include protection against short-circuits (re-settable fuses) and reverse current (diodes).
Page 152
SPT and MPT x3x series Note The relief valve can be plugged, caused by products from the chemical reactions during an emergency as described above. Noxious gases • Thionyl chloride (SOCl • Sulphur dioxide (SO • Hydrogen chloride (HCl) • Chlorine (Cl First-aid measures All personnel that have been exposed to the noxious gases should immediately be seen by a doctor.
Page 153
- Look for outer damages that could involve a water leakage. - The transponder housing temperature must be checked to verify a possible temperature increase in the lithium battery. • If everything is OK refer to Kongsberg Maritime transponder instruction manuals for normal procedures. 160780 / L...
Page 154
SPT and MPT x3x series Recovering a ”failing” transponder • Handle as possible water ingression. • Evacuate all unnecessary people. • Recover the transponder with great precaution. Use a crane. • No people should be near the transponder when it is lifted up on deck.
Page 155
Safety information Handling a transponder if relief valve opens • Evacuate all unnecessary people. • Use necessary protection equipment. • Fasten the transponder to a rope and immerse it in the sea for 24 hours or permanent. - If this method is impossible, the transponder can be cooled down with copious amount of cold water.
Page 156
SPT and MPT x3x series Handling heated or warm separate battery • Evacuate all unnecessary people. • Fasten the battery to a rope and immerse it in the sea for 24 hours or permanent. - If this method is impossible, the battery can be cooled down with copious amount of cold water.
Page 157
Safety information • A battery must not be exposed to water. • Storeroom: - A solid room with study racks for transponders/separate batteries. - A room where no people are staying, or no vital equipment is placed. - Good ventilation. - Clearly identified.
Page 158
SPT and MPT x3x series Toxiclogical information Signs and symptoms: • None, unless battery ruptures. In the event of exposure to internal contents, corrosive fumes with pungent odour will be very irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Over-exposure can cause symptoms of non-fibrotic lung injury and membrane irritation.
Page 159
Safety information Transport information Note Kongsberg Maritime delivers the transponder unit and the battery as separate units, in separate transportation cages. Kongsberg Maritime recommends that the transponder and the battery always are kept in separate transportation cages during transportation. Original transponder/battery cages must be used.
