The most sensitive acoustic receiver on the market ... from the telemetry receiver leaders.

The SR3001 Trident Acoustic Receiver is  a self sufficient receiver and data-logging system for the detection of acoustic transmitters (including JSATS). Using advanced digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, the Trident is the most sensitive JSATS receiver available, which is why ATS was selected to supply the model SR5000 Trident, predecessor to the SR3001 Trident, for the Army Corps of Engineers.

The SR5000 Trident beat out the competition in rigorous, head-to-head field trials conducted by the Corps.  The message length is only 744 milliseconds in length, saving power and reducing signal collisions. Other code schemes on the market are considerably longer.

The Trident features a removable flash card for data storage. A USB port may be used to check the function and battery status of the receiver.

Featuring New Rechargeable Battery System

ATS sells a battery charger that can charge up to 4 rechargeable battery packs at a time. View flyer to find out more.

Modes of Operation

Receiver detects, decodes, and stores to memory all valid tag codes. Optionally, the receiver can record environmental information including ambient external temperature (°C), and deviation from vertical (degrees).

Diagnostic Information

Receiver records at user defined intervals: battery voltage, and number of beacon tags detected since last diagnostic check.

Optional Sensors:

Ambient external temperature (°C), and position in digress relative to the vertical hydrophone position (tilt)

Communications

Direct/cabled communications: Direct connection to receiver via USB allows user to set up deployment site identification, clock synchronization, access to stored date, and links to diagnostic sensors.

PC User interface

Included software provides a graphical user interface to retrieve data and perform setup functions

Warranty

One year parts and labor on materials and workmanship

Features and specifications subject to change without notice.

Why an ATS Receiver?

ATS designs receivers for wildlife research tracking, and nothing else. There are many manufacturers of receivers that are not specifically designed for wildlife tracking, like wide band, handie-talkie types. These types of "generic" receivers will make your tracking more difficult.

Our receivers are built to withstand the rigors of the field. Our customers regularly send us 25 year old receivers for bench checks that are still in excellent operating condition.

We have designed a coding scheme shown to be 99% accurate in detecting coded transmitters. "False positives" are virtually eliminated. In various conference talks we have attended, we have seen that our competitor's coding architecture is nowhere near as accurate as our code-decode scheme.
