HTI hydrophones work perfectly for detecting Model 795 Acoustic Tags. See an example of Model 590-series Hydrophones deployed in a hydropower dam environment.

If your project is in a high-flow environment with flat surfaces for mounting hydrophones, we recommend HTI’s Low-Profile Hydrophone.

  Low-profile Hydrophone

Similar to the Model 590-series Hydrophone, the low-profile hydrophone detects Model 795 Acoustic Tags. It was designed to easily mount onto flat structures. Its ping detection range is 120 degrees, as opposed to the 330 degree detection range of a pole-mounted Model 590-series Hydrophone.

The low-profile hydrophone is ideal for flat structures in high-flow areas. Height of the low-profile hydrophone is 3.4 inches (8.57 cm) tall by 7.5 inches (19 cm) wide.

Hydrophone Cable
   

Model 690-series Hydrophone Cables and Model 696 Armored Hydrophone Cables were designed to handle rugged aquatic environments. Compared to other cables, they allow significantly less noise from outside electrical sources. These cables are excellent for long term, deep water operations.

   
 
   
 

 > Model 490-LP Acoustic Tag Programmer

 

The Model 490 Acoustic Tag Programmer permits the user to program the Model 795 Acoustic Tag in the field. To activate, the tag is placed within the programmer’s magnetic coil. The programmer then activates an internal "switch" inside the tag allowing it to receive settings and begin transmission of the tag's signal.

Researchers can now program the various sizes of HTI acoustic tags in the field, in the lab, or in the fish. The Model 490-LP Acoustic Tag Programmer makes it possible to activate and program Model 795 Acoustic Tags whenever and wherever you’re ready. Each tag is placed within the new programming coil, which activates an internal switch inside the tag, allowing it to receive settings and begin transmission of its signal. It also has a new built-in detector that confirms the tag has been program-med. And the pulse detector LED light shows when your tag is active (or ‘awake’).

Besides being significantly smaller and lighter, it’s "in-fish ready" (meaning it directly connects to the Model 491 In-Fish Acoustic Tag Programmer). All acoustic tag settings are easily managed within TagProgrammer software.

 > Model 491 In-Fish Acoustic Tag Programmer

 
   

HTI's Model 491 In-Fish Acoustic Tag Programmer activates and programs HTI Model 795 Acoustic Tags after surgical implantation (or gastrical insertion) into the fish. This programmer is used in conjunction with HTI's standard Model 490LP Acoustic Tag Programmer and a laptop computer. After a fish is tagged, it is allowed to recover from handling and surgery. It is then placed inside the clear acrylic tube filled with ambient water and passed through a magnetic coil to activate the tag immediately prior to release. This extends the life of the acoustic tag battery (compared to the usual activation of a transmitter at time of implantation), providing greater flexibility for field studies.

  Acoustic Tag Detector

 > Model 492 Acoustic Tag Detector

   
   

The Model 492 Acoustic Tag Detector is used to verify at close ranges that a tag (alone or in a fish) is successfully transmitting. The unit verifies a tag’s pulse repetition interval (i.e. rep rate) by observing an LED light which flashes at the same interval as the pulse interval programmed for that tag. It’s powered by an internal
9 volt battery and signals when the battery reaches a low charge condition. A small probe at the end of a cable is placed in the water to detect the tag's transmit signal.
