Pingers are used to mark underwater equipment or locations. They are generally about the size of a flashlight and can be attached to any mooring. The unit pings continuously when in the water. To recover a mooring, a diver or ROV is sent with a device to “listen” for, and home-in on, the pinger sound. ALP-365 is an advanced acoustic device designed for versatility in the offshore environment. Its electronics are protected by a rugged aluminum housing to insure long life under extreme conditions. Water activated. ALP-365/EL offers all the same features and user options as the standard ALP-365...

ELP-362A is a small, rugged underwater pinger rated to full ocean depth. Its compact size makes it ideal for use on ROVs, AUVs, ordnance and equipment recoveries. It can withstand extreme shock, vibration, pressure and temperature. Water activated. ELP-362A/PL offers the same features as the ELP-362A but with activation by power loss through an external connector. Best suited for use on ROVs or AUVs and will automatically activate when a vehicle loses power. Only operates when submerged in water and will not turn on at surface when vehicle is shut down. No other power loss pinger is as compact,...
