Acoustic Telemetry System
VEMCO provides acoustic modems to transmit data from subsurface sensor packages to surface buoys. The surface buoys can relay the data via radio link to ship or shore based stations. Acoustic modems can be used on user designed instrumentation and communicates with standard RS-232 serial data. A variety of systems with one or two way communication can be used with transmission distances from 200 meters to multiple kilometers. Typical applications include monitoring of current, conductivity, depth and temperature from 'off the shelf' instruments such as the S4 current meter from Interocean or Type 174 current from Endeco.
Miniature Low Cost Sealed Data Loggers
VEMCO provides miniature sealed loggers for monitoring temperature, depth, and light intensity. MINILOGS can be deployed for up to five years gathering data in air, water or soil. When the logger is retrieved the data is downloaded to a personal computer with a serial interface. The MINILOG-TDX has been used in many different projects such as monitoring of internal temperature of captive tuna, and the monitoring of temperature and depth from towed sampling gear.
Ultrasonic Telemetry Transmitters
VEMCO Limited manufactures a complete line of acoustic transmitters and receiving systems for real time monitoring of fish behaviour. High resolution positioning systems are available to give a moving graphical display on a personal computer screen of fish positions. Data can be transmitted from individual animals giving information on heart rate, swimming speed, depth and temperature.
