S2C R 7/17 USBL communication and positioning device
S2CR 7/17 USBL is a depth-rated device for long range data transmissions and USBL positioning, providing data transfer rates up to 6.9 kbit/s over a 8000 m range.
Low power consumption makes it ideal for long-term deployment.
S2C R USBL devices with a built-in ultra-short baseline antenna enable tracking simultaneously with full-duplex digital communication, delivering an excellent all-round performance as USBL transceivers.
Switching between positioning and communication modes is not necessary: positioning data is calculated simultaneously with acoustic transmissions. Both features complement each other in a fully integrated system.
Depth rated
Depth rated device for long-range data transfers
Highly Configurable
Multiple configuration options and extra modules available to best-fit the particular application scenario
Directivity pattern
The beam pattern is optimal for transmissions in vertical and slant channels

[1] Accuracy obtained in environment with a fl at sound velocity profi le, slant ranges estimated in local coodinate frame of the device without the aid
of AHRS/GNSS and/or any other sensors contributing to the resulting accuracy. Slant range estimation is based on the measured propagation time, slant range accuracy depends on sound velocity profi le, refraction and signal-to-noise ratio.
[2] One RS-232 Interface can be replaced with a RS-422 interface. Contact EvoLogics for more information!
[3] Power consumption for RS-232 interface. Add 500 mW if an Ethernet interface is installed. Add 300 mW if the Wake-Up Module is installed.
User-configurable Listen Mode is only available with a Wake-Up module installed. Power consumption in Listen Mode depends on Listen Mode settings.
[4] 300 VDC available for 42/65 models. Contact EvoLogics for more information on power supply options!
[5] Dimensions of a Delrin housing, other builds are slightly larger. Dimensions vary depending on housing type and installed options.
Contact EvoLogics for more information on device dimensions and weights, request a drawing if necessary.
[6] Internal Xsens® MTi AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) compensates the changes of roll,
pitch and heading. Power consumption increases by 400 mW with AHRS installed.
[7] The Wake Up Module is only compatible with RS-232 interface! It is not compatible with Ethernet or RS-422.
2-channel Wake Up Module version reacts to incoming data on two serial interfaces.
[8] The Power Switch is only compatible with RS-232 interface! It is not compatible with Ethernet or RS-422.
