Bluetooth
The SCC Ver 4 BT sensor replaces the power/data deck cable with an internal LiPo battery and a Bluetooth short range transceiver. With the addition of an SCC Active BT antenna the standard Display/Interface may be used with the SCC BT sensor. The active antenna is supplied with a 25 ft cable enabling the standard Bluetooth range to be increased and provide line of sight to the sensor.
Alternatively, any Bluetooth capable device may be used to display data from the sensor and to configure and reset the sensor.
Like the Standard SCC sensor, the SCC BT sensor may be installed on most sheaves from 6 to 36-inch diameter and can be supplied as a turn key system or the sensor alone to be installed on customer owned sheave blocks. All calibration parameters are stored in nonvolatile memory.
Battery duration is at least 24 hours between charges. A USB charger is supplied with each SCC BT sensor.

Bluetooth Active Antenna
The Hydrographic Survey Products SCC BT Active Antenna is designed to increase the range of the Blue Tooth sensor to the host BT system (typically laptop, Smart phone or PC). The Active Antenna allows Blue Tooth reception from inside an enclosed wheelhouse or instrument room. A legacy RS232 interface is provided if the host system is not equipped with BT capability. If required the Active Antenna may be connected directly to the SCC Display / Interface Unit, which provide both power and Data I/O to the Active Antenna.
The Antenna is provided with a 50’ cable and sealed for outside marine use.
The Active Antenna can be mounted on a 5/8 X 11 threaded antenna stub.
