  • Page 11: General Acoustic Considerations

    General acoustic considerations General acoustic considerations Take this information into consideration when deploying the transponders. Acoustic range The depth rating should not be confused with acoustic range. The acoustic range is dependent on many factors, and some of the factors are outside control of the user. Vessel system The directivity and coverage area for the vessel system is different, depending on which system you are using.
  • Page 12 Maxi 31 Ex d Instruction Manual Sound velocity and ray bending Changes in sound velocity through the water column caused by changes in the water temperature and/or salinity can bend the acoustic signal and make it impossible to reach the vessel.
