T279

T279
  • HEMISPHERICAL BEAM PATTERN
  • BROADBAND OPERATION
  • DEEP WATER CAPABILITY
  • TRANSPONDER
  • RANGE TRACKING COMMUNICATIONS

The T279 is one of a group of transducers available from Neptune that have been designed for use in transponder beacons, tracking systems, acoustic release mechanisms and data communication systems. 

A versatile transducer, the T279 combines efficient broadband transmission and reception with a hemispherical beam pattern. 

The transducer is moulded onto a stainless steel base which achieves a design that is compact and robust. 

The T279 is available with or without acoustic calibration, traceable to National Standards.
