Features include a depth telemetry
capability for improved positioning accuracy, channel selection
via dual external controls (or optional serial data link)
and innovative 'screw-off' acoustic release mechanism. These
benefits are combined with an increased depth rating (2,500m,
4,000m or 6,000m) and compatibility with all HPR 300 and
HPR 400 channels. Where size and weight are important operational
factors a short housing version is available (requires external
power supply)
Applications for the PGT
include the accurate tracking of cable ploughs and deep
ROVs, long term marking of seabed targets (e.g. wellheads)
and as a position reference transponder for dynamic positioning
systems.
