Product catalog summary
Overview
The SM-975/976 Subsea Nodes by Teledyne Benthos are advanced subsea observation systems designed for data logging and telemetry. These nodes integrate underwater acoustic release technology with reliable undersea communication capabilities, functioning as LBL nodes or acoustic network repeaters.

Product Features
  • Real-time communication with subsea instruments.
  • Supports multiple sensors and instruments.
  • Integrated system for easy deployment, recovery, and storage.
  • Functions as an LBL node or acoustic network repeater.

Specifications
  • Models: Available in 33 cm or 43 cm spheres.
  • Connectivity: RS-232 port on the sphere's exterior.
  • Depth Rating: Up to 6700 meters (21,982 ft).
  • Battery Life: SM-975 up to 2 years; SM-976 up to 1 year.
  • Weight: SM-975 - 33 cm = 18 kg, 43 cm = 32 kg; SM-976 - 33 cm = 18 kg, 43 cm = 27 kg.
  • Net Buoyancy: SM-975 - 33 cm = 2 kg, 43 cm = 9 kg; SM-976 - 33 cm = 2 kg, 43 cm = 17 kg.
  • Acoustic Slant Range: Up to 10 km (6 mi).
  • Frequency Range: 9-14 kHz, 16-21 kHz, 22-27 kHz.
  • Transducer Pattern: Omnidirectional from the upper hemisphere.
  • Release Mechanism: Electrolytic dissolving wire.

Applications
  • Environmental monitoring with physical oceanographic and bio-geochemical sensors.
  • Undersea positioning using standard long-baseline configurations.
  • Geophysical exploration compatible with geophones for seismic studies.

Additional Information
The SM-975 features a high-capacity data logging system and supports the latest optional features of the Teledyne Benthos acoustic modem line. The SM-976 is designed for short deployments and includes rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, a storage/transport case, a battery charger, and a spare parts kit. Both models are equipped with ATM-900 Series modems and UDB-9400 Deck Box for topside control and data retrieval via vessel, AUV/UUV, or Gateway Buoy.

Subsea Node Data Sheet Sheetce-1

A Teledyne Benthos SMART Products Datasheet Teledyne Benthos Subsea Observation System, Data Logging and Telemetry THE SM SERIES SUBSEA NODE is a unique concept from Teledyne Benthos that combines the proven technology of an underwater acoustic release with the reliable undersea communications functionality of an acoustic modem. The SM-975 supports all the most current optional features of the Teledyne Benthos underwater acoustic modem line such as: in-band acoustic recorder, positioning, and high capacity data logging. This easily deployed system features the ATM-900 Series modem electronics, batteries, and a transducer, all contained in a 6,000m rated housing with a burn wire release mechanism. The acoustic modem allows the user full telemetry capability to full ocean depth, with RS-232 connectivity to attached sensors. More than one sensor can be employed simultaneously. The SM-976 is similar in design to the SM-975 and is primarily intended for short deployments. The SM-976 features rechargeable lithium ion batteries and comes in a convenient storage/transport case that includes a battery charger and complete spare parts kit. The SM-976 is an ideal product for use as a node in a long baseline (LBL) positioning system.
