Acoustic ReleasesSelection Guide

Oceano acoustic release series

1 SWL (Safe Working Load): the maximum static or dynamic load that can be supported by the instrument in normal operating conditions with no release command in progress.

2 RL (Release Load): the maximum load that can be supported by the hook while it is activated (DC motor rotating).3 TL (Test Load): the maximum that can be supported by the instrument without permanent damage or water ingress (not to be used in normal operation mode).Image for information only
