cPAP Portable transceiver units

The cPAP Portable transceiver unit is designed to fully operate
subsea transponders from a vessel. The cPAP Portable
transceiver is used together with a dunking transducer.

• The cPAP Portable transceiver is compatible with both

Cymbal and acoustic protocol for positioning and data link
and HPR 400 channels and telemetry.

• Acoustic link for command and data transfer.

• SSBL Range measurement positioning.

• LBL Positioning (optional).

• The cPAP Portable transceiver use full APOS menu.

The cPAP Portable transceiver unit is also used for on-deck
acoustic testing and configuration of the cNODE and
MPT/SPT/MST transponders.

The cPAP Portable transceiver unit is a touch screen/trackball
operated transceiver set in a splash proof portable case with a
carrying handle and shoulder strap. It has an internal
rechargeable battery.
