The Simrad MST (Mini SSBL Transponder) series consists of medium-frequency mini-transponders designed for use with HiPAP and HPR underwater positioning and navigation systems. These units are specifically engineered for applications requiring a small and lightweight device without compromising performance. Built with a modular design, the electronics, battery pack, transducer, and end cap can be replaced individually to simplify maintenance and reduce spare part requirements.
Key Features
- System Compatibility: Designed for use with HiPAP systems, the HPR 400 series (56 channels), and HPR 300 series (14 channels).
- Dual Functionality: Operates as both a transponder and a responder when used with an external power supply.
- Optimized Performance: Features operator-selectable source levels to manage battery life and selectable sensitivity to suit specific environments.
- Durable Construction: Built with hard-anodized aluminum and a protective polyurethane coating.
- Protected Design: All switches and connectors are recessed within the end cap to prevent damage during deployment.
- Flexible Power: Supports rechargeable NiMH batteries with fast-charging capabilities or primary Lithium batteries for extended deployments.
- Modular Hardware: Utilizes surface mount technology to confine hardware to two boards, increasing overall reliability.
