Oceano R5
Oceanographic acoustic release
Oceano R5 is the latest version of iXblue’s oceanographic acoustic release. It has been designed to be a real workhorse: based upon what made the success of the previous Oceano 2500S Universal (AR861B2S), robustness and reliability, Oceano R5 is lighter and shorter for the same depth rating (6,000m/19,700ft). It is equipped with a positive drive-off release mechanism for improved release reliability and built out of high-tensile strength super duplex stainless steel offering outstanding corrosion resistance. Fitted with new electronics, Oceano R5 was designed to minimize mechanical friction for added robustness.
All these improvements make Oceano R5 the ideal acoustic release for long-term deployment in harsh environments.
