CART Pop-Up Buoy System

The Coastal Acoustic Release Transponder (CART) is a perfect system for deployments in all coastal environments. The system is lightweight and easily maintained. The system includes the canister, flotation, bridle and mounting hardware. Just add the recovery line and you’re ready to deploy.

When configured for a pop-up buoy system the CART acoustic release is built with an inverted tilt switch and special “light load” clevis assembly. The release, when configured this way, is rated for a maximum working load of 100 Kg.

The CART has been designed with a unique feature, periodically the release shaft is rotated back and forth. This "wiggle" is intended to keep the release mechanism moving freely by preventing marine growth from accumulating on the release shaft.
