1100 Series Mini Beacons incorporate the next generation of applied acoustics’ Sigma 2 acoustic protocols. Utilising bi-directional wide bandwidth spread spectrum provides precise range resolution and positional stability.
The Sigma 2 protocols are designed for use with Easytrak Pyxis and Nexus 2. The 1100 Series also retains compatibility with all Easytrak systems and other USBL manufacturers. When coupled with Pyxis or Nexus 2 the 1100 series provides Multi-Fire functionality, providing positional updates in <3 sec from an array of 10 beacons. The MiQ data telemetry function provides third-party data plus position to the surface for a variety of applications With an industry-standard 5-pin connector, the beacons are quick and easy to configure using the 1082 Smart Switch or 1083 Multi-Charger that also activate and monitor the charging of the battery pack.
