[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fwd: Transducer Depth

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

 Hi Jon, yes expensive options. Was just needing confirmation that your STX-101 hack would work for me at a 500ft depth. I had questioned OTS in the past on other issues and hadn't got a reply, but found sending the same email several times over a couple of weeks worked! Alan

  Alan,
$1649 for the transducer$3899 for the Bell-200
I'm sure I'll be sticking with the STX-101.

 Jon & all,I sent a query to OTS regarding transducer depth for the STX-101 that Jonwas doing work on. The reply (below) says the boat transducer is the same as the diver unit ( however David showed them to be different sizes) & is depth rated to 500ft.They suggest other options also.AlanBegin forwarded message:

Hello Alan,
 
  
 
To answer the questions you posed, the transducers are the same and the transducer itself would be able to survive the same depth as the diver units, 500 feet.
 
  
 
A more suitable option for them may be either using the hull mounted transducer, the TA-32M, if they want to stay with the STX-101 or by looking into the Bell-200 system. Links for the product pages to both are listed below. You can also reach out to our sales team for more information on these options.

Hi,
I am with a World wide group of submarine builders (psubs.org) who are using OTS 
wireless communication systems on our submersibles.
One of our members is converting a STX-101 portable surface station unit for use 
inside the sub. This would require mounting the surface station transducer outside
the pressure hull.
My question is; are the surface station transducers as robust as the transducers on
the diver units?
Any estimates on their maximum depth?
I see they can at least go down to 100ft ( length of transducer cable).
Kind regards
Alan James (New Zealand)
