The gauge uses multiple echo which means measurements can be easily tak-en without the need to remove coatings, and the large bright 10mm LED display ensures the display can be seen by the diver, even in poor visibility. It has an integral battery with 55 hours runtime which means there is no need for a spare battery. Also, the gauge can be easily upgraded to a topside repeater by ex- changing the end cap. Unique System (U.K.) Ltd Unique System (U.K.) Ltd, a Unique Maritime Group company, will partici- pate at OI 2014.Unique Systems will display several products like the Klein sonar, Tritech, Ixsea and Sonardyne 6G equipment, Unique Sea ex Air Lift bags, etc. A key feature will be the newly designed Unique Hydra eDMS100 dive moni- toring system which is the  rst fully integrated surface diver monitoring system; operating via a PLC/PC based unit housed in a standard 19? electron-ics rack with remote ?Sensor Stations? located at key areas around the dive sys- tem. The unit can be tailored to  t al- most all current IMCA compliant diving systems.Tritex www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 87MTR #2 (82-96).indd 87MTR #2 (82-96).indd 872/22/2014 2:19:10 PM2/22/2014 2:19:10 PM
