Anchor-weight<br />
A transponder requires an anchor weight of approximately 60 to<br />
70 kg to hold the transponder securely in position on the seabed.<br />
Use a length of rope from 3 to 15 metres long to attach the<br />
anchor, <strong>and</strong> then attach the “top” of the rope to the transponder.<br />
Caution<br />
Do not use a chain. A chain can cause corrosion.<br />
The length of the rope depends on the transponder use.<br />
If you use LBL with very long base line in deep water, use<br />
up to15 m.<br />
If you use SSBL on a flat seabed, a 3 m rope is sufficient.<br />
Floating rope<br />
A floating rope may be used when collecting the transponder by<br />
a ROV.<br />
