Sending Commands To Acoustic Releases
The UDB-9000 can be used to send commands, including release
commands, to any Teledyne Benthos manufactured acoustic release and
pop-up buoy, and similarly, to send release commands to EdgeTech/EG&G
and URI releases. Before sending commands, always ensure that the
transducer is connected.
Sending Commands to Teledyne Benthos
Acoustic Releases
In addition to release commands, for some Teledyne Benthos manufactured
acoustic releases, transponder enable, disable and other commands can
also be sent. However, the procedure to send all the commands is the same.
To send commands to Teledyne
Benthos acoustic releases:
1. Touch the Release/Range function
button.
The Release/Range screen opens.
2. Select Benthos FSK from the
drop-down list as shown in
Figure 4-57.
The Benthos FSK pop-up opens as
shown in Figure 4-58.
3. Determine the receive frequency
for the transponder, and then using
the left or right arrow, select this
frequency in kilohertz.
This frequency is the deck box
transmit frequency and it must be
the same as the transponder
receive frequency.
