Kongsberg cNODE Mini Transponder 4000m

The Kongsberg cNODE® Mini is from a family of transponders for underwater acoustic positioning and data link. The transponders operate together with both HiPAP®, HPR and cPAP® transceivers.

cNODE® utilises Cymbal® acoustic protocol and is compatible with the HiPAP®/HPR 400 channels and telemetry and is designed to cover a large range of applications. This is made possible by the modular design and a variety of different transducers, internal and external sensors, housing materials and other add-on functions.

cNODE® is easy to set-up, operate and maintain. Both new configuration and software can be downloaded from TTC 30 without opening the transponders. The floating collar and release design make the launch/recovery operation safe and easy. Spare parts for cNODE® are based on the main modules.

The cNODE® transponder family consists of the models Maxi, Midi and Mini. With a 4000m depth rating, Ashtead offer the 34-180 and 34-40V model of the cNODE mini for rental.
