SV•Xchange™ is the industry’s only field-swappable sound velocity sensor. Any SV•Xchange™ sensor can be connected to any Xchange enabled instrument - when you want, where you want - without compromising calibration accuracy.
• Increased Instrument Field Time: At time of recalibration, spare calibrated sensors can be shipped to the instrument, allowing the instrument to stay in the field.
• Lower Cost of Ownership: Tiny sensors – not heavy instruments – travel to and from the factory, generating dramatic savings in shipping costs and brokerage fees.
• Greater Convenience: Recalibrated sensors can be scheduled for just-in-time delivery, eliminating the headache of managing calibration expiry dates.
• Increased Flexibility: Damaged or out-of-calibration sensors can be swapped for field-ready spares on board the survey vessel.
• Field Swappable: Any SV•Xchange™ sensor can be used on any Xchange enabled instrument without compromising accuracy. Sensors can be swapped in minutes, without special tools.
• Embedded Calibration: SV•Xchange™ sensors have on-board intelligence that allows calibration coefficients and other critical calibration information to travel with the sensor.
• Data Traceability: All data files automatically include the SV•Xchange™ sensor serial number and its calibration date, assuring traceability of profile data.
• Greater Accuracy & Precision: SV•Xchange™ sensors offer improved performance, with accuracies of 0.025 m/s and a precision of 0.006 m/s.
• Extreme Environments: The intelligent measurement algorithm on board the SV•Xchange™ assures extended operability in conditions of high turbidity or biofouling, particularly useful for dredging operations.
