AML’s SV Xchange is the industry’s only field-swappable sound velocity sensor. Any SV Xchange sensor can be connected to any Micro SV or SV Plus instrument - when you want, where you want - without compromising calibration accuracy.With the SV Xchange you can increase instrument field time as spare calibrated sensors can be shipped to the instrument at the time of recalibration, allowing the instrument to stay in the field. Recalibrated sensors can be scheduled for just-in-time delivery, eliminating the headache of managing calibration expiry dates.

The SV Xchange also lowers the cost of ownership because the size and weight of the sensor will dramatically save on shipping costs and brokerage fees when travelling to and from the factory. It also provides a flexible option as damaged or out-of-calibration sensors can be swapped for field-ready spares on board the survey vessel.
 

Features:

Field Swappable: Any SV Xchange sensor can be used on any Micro SV or SV Plus instrument without compromising accuracy. Sensors can be swapped in minutes, without special tools.

Embedded Calibration: The SV Xchange sensor has 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.

Extreme Environments: The intelligent measurement algorithm on board the SV Xchange assures extended operability in conditions of high turbidity or bio-fouling, particularly useful for dredging operations.

Accuracy:

• Accuracy: ± 0.025 m/s
• Precision: ± 0.006 m/s
