WSM6+ G06

Small, rugged, versatile and rechargeable. WSM 6+ is a popular choice of transponder for tracking a mobile underwater target such as a towfish, crane wire, ROV and manned submersible. 2-way wideband signals ensure reliable acoustic performance in all conditions. Available in two depth ratings – 1,000 m omni-directional and 4,000 m directional.

Both versions support transponder and responder operating mode if an external trigger from your platform is available. Responder mode provides significantly faster position updates than transponder mode.

WSM 6+ supports Wideband 2 acoustic signals and legacy Wideband 1 and HPR 400. The configuration is programmable using supplied software and a serial link or it can be configured acoustically via our back deck handheld test unit, iWand. This allows the WSM 6+ to be configured for use with all the popular MF frequency acoustic navigation systems.

Both types of WSM 6+ are also fitted with a depth sensor fitted as standard to aid USBL positioning accuracy and an external on/off switch to save the battery when not in use.
WSM 6+ variants are available with acoustically controlled output lines suitable for external motor drive, burnwire or contact closure releases.

Suitable for subsea structure installation, environmental surveys, AUVs / ROVs, aquaculture, coastal science, site survey and characterisation, military diving, tracking and communications and much more.

It’s the perfect choice for fitting to observation and work-class ROVs, towfish, submersibles and equipment being deployed onto the seabed for short durations.

WSM 6+ is compatible with all of our Ranger 2 USBL systems – we even include one with every Ranger 2 Standard – as standard.
