Kongsberg cNODE Micro Transponder

Kongsberg cNODE Micro Transponder

Available to rent from Ashtead Technology – the Kongsberg cNODE Micro Transponder

The cNODE® Micro transponder is rated to 600 metres and is small and light enough to be used by divers
and shallow water ROV’s. Operating on Kongsberg Cymbal digital acoustic protocols, the cNODE® Micro
provides the optimal positioning performance with the Kongsberg range of SSBL systems, from μPAP®
through to HiPAP®.

The cNODE® Micro is extremely flexible featuring Cymbal digital telemetry and both SSBL & Long Baseline
positioning capabilities. With range accuracies of better than 2 cm achievable, measured baselines between
transponders on the seabed provide capabilities for simple diver metrology or archeology.

The telemetry capability allows the battery status to be read during operation and the integrated tilt sensor
can be turned on and off with positioning updates. Multiple cNODE® Micro transponders can be interrogated
simultaneously in SSBL positioning mode using the μPAP® and HiPAP® Fast track feature to ensure the
fastest possible updates during operation.
