Table 1. rapidCAST Depth versus Speed
The table above applies to the RapidSV probe. Call for details on other probes.
Each standard spool is delivered with 1954 meters of line, of which 1700 meters can be used for normal
operation (see Line Properties, page 30). Typically, only 1200 meters of line are used.
Deployments less than 100 meters deep:
• The buoyancy tailspool can be used. In this configuration, the probe will fall at approximately
3 m/sec.
The following general specification applies:
• Boat speed relative
Deployment greater than 100 meters deep:
• The buoyancy tailspool CANOT be used. In this configuration use the plain tailspool, the probe
will fall at approximately 4 m/sec.
