408ULS

408ULS has all the mechanical characteristics that make this system suitable for shallow water and transition zone seismic operations down to a depth of 50 meters of water. It benefits from the high level of reliability of the 408UL technology and the in-water mechanical experience of Sercel's SU1-ULS system. The system has been designed to meet the constraints of shallow water or transition zone operations. It must be rugged enough to withstand the mechanical stresses induced by the effects of the currents and tides, as well

408ULS
Based on the 408UL electronics and software architecture, the 408ULS incorporates all the mechanical characteristics that make this system suitable for shallow water and transition zone seismic operations down to a depth of 50 meters of water. The 408ULS benets from the high level of reliability of the 408UL technology and the in-water mechanical experience of Sercels SU1-ULS system. It offers two key benets crucial for this kind of operations. Very few other systems have successfully integrated the ruggedness and ease of handling for safe and efcient deployment and retrieval operations in these environments.

Made for operations in difcult environments


The 408ULS has been designed to meet the constraints of shallow water or transition zone operations. It must be rugged enough to withstand the mechanical stresses induced by the effects of the currents and tides, as well as the stress and strain related to the deployment and retrieval of the system. This is why the system has been developed with an inline two channel unit, integrated into the cable with an internal Kevlar stress member that has a breaking strength of 800 daN.

Made for safe hand deployment


With cables weighting only 0.215 kg (0.475 lbs) per meter and fully integrated electronics (FDU2S; two-channel digitizing units weighing only 1.7 kg or 3.8 lbs, the 408ULS is light enough to be carried by small boats that can easily cover all areas from 0 to 50 m of water and be safely handled by the crew members. It also benets from a down-the-cable, low voltage power management architecture that requires only 1 standard 12 V battery every 60 traces (connected to a dedicated eld unit called LAULS).

Made for efcient use in obstructed areas


The 408ULS has all of its components in the eld deployed on the sea bed. The system can be deployed from small maneuverable vessels, which makes deployment and retrieval in highly congested areas easier. Deployed on the seabed, single or dual sensor acquisition is less susceptible to surface noise conditions.

Made for seamless acquisition from land to shallow waters


Totally integrated to the 400 Series family, the 408ULS has the same Central Unit (408UL CMXL or 428XL LCI-428) and its eld equipment can be connected to the land equipment (LINK). The 408ULS extends the acquisition spread into transition zones down to 50 meters with all the same benets (real-time QC, high channel count, networking) of working with the 408UL or 428XL on land.
