Key Features


The Fiobuoy is fully programmable.
It can release itself from its underwater mooring and surface at any time and date specified by the operator
or upon ACOUSTIC COMMAND.
The standard model is capable of deployment
to depths of up to 100 metres.

The
Fiobuoy is available with a standard 12mm x 50 metre rope length; however optional lengths to 100 metres are available on request.

A 200 meter version is also availiable.
Physically larger than the 100m version, this model is functionally identical, but allows more rope to be wound onto the spool (200m). Additionally, the extra internal space is ideal for your own equipment to be installed inside.

Designed for underwater deployment periods
in excess of 6 months.

The onboard computer is constantly in 'sleep' mode except for its daily, self-diagnostic operation. This substantially diminishes power consumption and prolongs battery life.
Performs self-diagnostics.
The
Fiobuoy
constantly reviews the condition of its onboard batteries to ensure the availablity of sufficient power to perform its scheduled release event.
Performs emergency release.
During its daily battery check,
the Fiobuoy will perform an 'emergency' release where there is a risk of the batteries losing their energy prior to the date of scheduled release. This feature is also designed to prevent deployment where the battery voltage is considered too low.
Capable of leak detection.
The onboard electronics incorporate leak sensors which, upon detecting the presence of water in the central chamber, will actuate the release mechanism to perform an emergency release.
Password protected.
The onboard electronics are specifically encoded with a six digit pin number to prevent unauthorised use
.
Robust construction.
The housing of the
Fiobuoy is manufactured from highly durable polymers capable of withstanding the rigours of a harsh marine environment.
Portable.
The
Fiobuoy, equipped with a standard 50 metre rope, weighs only 15 Kgs.
