[support@unavlab.com](mailto:support@unavlab.com) | **Zima2-LX** — LBL transceiver of the **Zima2 LBL** navigation system
Device specification | ## KEY FEATURES * **Extremely small size and weight** * **Communication range up to 3000^{[1](#footnote1)} m** * **Reliable digital underwater acoustic communication resistant to multipath propagation** * **Low power consumption (Rx/Tx) 0.33/10 W** * **Built-in pressure/temperature sensor** * **Sequential interrogation of responder-beacons with arbitrary addresses** * **Patented^{[*](#footnote_a1)} monoblock design** ## DESCRIPTION **Zima2-LX** is the transceiver of the long baseline navigation system [Zima2 LBL](/documentation/EN/Zima/Zima2_LBL_DataBrief_en.md). The device is designed to be placed on an underwater object in order to measure the ranges to the [Zima2-R](Zima2R_Specification_en.md) responder-beacons, whose positions are known. Unlike [Zima2-L](/documentation/EN/Zima/Zima2L_Specification_en.md), which works with a fixed navigation base of 3 or 4 beacons with addresses 1-4 using the common request scheme and is limited by a base size of 265 m, Zima2-LX provides sequential interrogation of 3 or 4 beacons with arbitrary addresses without restrictions on the geometry of the base. The only limitation is the acoustic communication range determined by the link budget (up to 3000 m). The position of the transceiver is calculated by the external [Zima2-SL](/documentation/EN/Zima/Zima2SL_Specification_en.md) device based on the measured ranges and the known coordinates of the beacons. **Zima2-LX** and [Zima2-L](/documentation/EN/Zima/Zima2L_Specification_en.md) use **the same hardware platform**. ________________ ^* Patent RU2659299C1.

The maximum communication range is not equivalent to the maximum operating range of the navigation system. - ² The value was obtained in a laboratory static experiment, without taking into account the multipath propagation effect. - ³ The value can be changed on request. - ⁴ Depends on the number of beacons in the set and their addresses; with sequential interrogation the update rate is lower than that of [Zima2-L](/documentation/EN/Zima/Zima2L_Specification_en.md). - ⁵ PENDING.
