1.5.1 Depressor Wing
The Depressor Wing allows the tow vehicle to be towed at greater depths and faster speeds without
increasing the length of tow cable in the water. The Depressor Wing attaches to the top of any 4200 Series
tow vehicle and exerts a downward force on the tow vehicle as it moves through the water, pushing it
deeper. The angle of the wing is user adjustable to 0°, 5°, or 10° depending on the desired dive angle.
Optionally available trim tabs on the back of the wing can be adjusted for fine-tuning its performance, and
a safety cable is attached to prevent loss of the wing should it become snagged.

1.5.2 Magnetometer
Magnetometer’s from several manufacturers can be supplied and are compatible with EdgeTech's
optional magnetometer interface.
1.5.3 Acoustic Tracking System
An acoustic tracking system, such as an EDGETECH BATS, can be used to continuously provide the tow
vehicle’s position. A responder is installed on the tow vehicle, and a ship-mounted hydrophone and deck
unit are used to receive and process position data.
