STM-10 Splash Proof Surface Station With Amrel Rocky Jr. Notebook Computer

Our surface stations support both short and long baseline tracking and navigation applications.  These stations can also be used to retrieve data from subsurface instrumentation (MANTA systems), to communicate and supervise divers, and for a variety of other applications.  The surface stations require a Windows 95 or Windows NT computer, which is used for data display and control.  You must also purchase DiveBase™, surface station tracking and navigation software. Model STM-10 is designed for small boat and vessel of opportunity jobs.  This station is housed in a rugged watertight carrying case which also accommodates the Rocky™ ruggedized notebook computer or another suitable notebook.  The STM-10 powers the notebook computer and can run for 20 hours on its internal rechargeable batteries.  It can also be powered by 95 to 250 V AC line supply. The lower cost model STM-1 is housed in a small sheet metal chassis that either slides into a drive bay of a PC or may be used as a tabletop device.  The STM-1 is only suitable for dry environments.   Surface Station Specifications
