PA200 / PA500 Altimeter MKII
The Precision Altimeter ‘PA200/PA500 MKII’ offers reliable performance and accurate distance measurement in the harshest of subsea environments. Designed with ROV/WROV/AUV usage in mind, Tritech’s latest offering builds upon the success of the previous generation. With features such as full software configuration using the new ‘human readable’ command interface, optional slant range correction, millimeter accuracy and full backwards compatibility, it provides users with a significant upgrade at no extra cost.
- Large range of connector options
- Millimeter accuracy
- Ultra-wide ‘Input Voltage’ range
- Fully software configurable
- ‘Simple to use’ command interface
- Fully backwards compatible with previous instruments
- Built-in Inclinometer (with optional slant range correction)
- Digital and Analogue interface
The Precision Altimeter MKII offers a series of additional features while building upon the legacy of the previous generation of altimeter ranging sensors. Utilizing a proprietary signal processing techniques to give an industry leading SNR, measurement is possible over wide range of material densities from the seafloor to areas of high silt deposits or sedimentary layers.
The Precision Altimeter MKII sensor is one of the first products to utilize Tritech’s newly derived ‘text based’ programmable command interface for simple reconfiguration, whilst retaining full backwards compatibility with the previous generation of Precision Altimeter sensors, providing existing users with a simple ‘in-field’ upgrade solution. Tritech offer one of the widest input voltage ranges in the market and continue to maintain their significant range of connector options.
The instrument can be used in standalone mode. Compatibility is retained within Seanet, Genesis and AltTest logging software.
The PA500 (500kHz) Precision Altimeter MKII is supplied with the SeaKing 700-series Bathymetric system.
