The Emergency Recovery Beacon (ERB) is a self-contained, programable acoustic command transmitter and transponder in a 6000 meter rated nickel aluminium bronze alloy housing that can be lowered from the side of a vessel below any surface noise, shipboard noise or thermoclines.
The ERB is programmed through a serial port using a computer running a terminal program and can transmit EdgeTech LF BACS enable, disable and release commands at a pre-programmed rate set by the user. The ERB is a useful tool that can be used as a vessel-deployed deep dunking transducer to get below a thermocline that may be blocking acoustic signals from reaching an acoustic release. The transponder function allows the user to range on the ERB. Product Manager Rob Morris commented: “Think of the ERB as an acoustic release deck box and dunking transducer all packaged in a 6,000 meter rated housing that you can lower off the side of a ship to get closer to your deep water mooring to ensure failsafe acoustic communication.”
