HTI's Model 295-B Acoustic Tag Data Logger (ATDL) offers a cost-effective means of remotely recording the time-stamped presence of fish tagged with Model 795 Acoustic Tags. This solar powered, cableless, buoy is designed to withstand rigorous hydraulic and wind environments and operates at depths of up to 300 meters (984 ft).
Engineered into an unsinkable, foam filled skiff, the Model 295B
ATDL doesn't require shore-based electronics. It is interfaced with wireless data transmission which allows real-time monitoring of the system's status and immediate notification of any system faults. The fiberglass deck provides easy access for servicing and keeps the electronics cool with a river-water air conditioning system. A white-
light marker strobe flashes 3 feet (91 cm) above the waterline, which can be seen up to a mile away (1.6 km). And two 125 watt solar panels keep the entire system powered. |
