Altimeter MkII

The new Digital Precision Altimeter offers reliable performance and accurate distance measurement in harsh subsea environments.

Tritech’s new Precision Altimeter offers a host of additional features along with the existing range of available connector and output options. Utilising our proprietary signal processing engine to provide millimetre accuracy, the devices now feature an inclinometer that can compensate for real time pitch and roll on altitude measurements.

Software configurable digital and analogue outputs allow the device to be integrated to a wide range of interfaces (including seamless operation within Tritech Genesis, Seanet or AltTest software). Compatibility with PC, data-loggers, multiplexers and industrial 4-20mA interfaces are included as standard. The new instrument is fully backwards compatible with the previous PA sensor range.

Making use of Tritech’s proprietary signal processing engine, the instrument actively filters acoustic noise generated by other subsea equipment to offer accurate and reliable target detection in the harshest of environments.
