BPS Marine BPS-8 8-Transducer Ultrasonic Antifouling System - 12VDC

BPS-8 8-Transducer Ultrasonic Antifouling System - 12VDC

The BPS-8 is an eight-transducer system that can add antifouling protection to hulls, drives, rudders, stabilizers, and more. This single system can provide ultrasonic antifouling protection for hulls up to 80ft in length or can be combined with additional systems for larger vessels. The BPS-8 is also the perfect solution for vessels under 52 with inboards or sail drives to have one system covering the entire vessel.

The BPS-8 Package Includes:

• 1x BPS-8 Control Module with Integrated Power Cable
• 8x Submersible Ultrasonic Transducers with 15ft of Cable
• 4x Additional 15ft Extension Cables
• 2x Epoxy Kits
• 1x Printed Installation and Operation Manual

Specifications:

• Voltage: 12V or 24V DC
• Average Power Draw: 2Ah
• Transducer Strength: 60W
• Cable Length: 15ft per transducer
• Frequency: Multi-frequency ultrasonic sweep algorithm (20kHz-42kHz)

Installation Overview:

• No Thru-Hulls: The transducers are installed directly on top of your hull surface using the provided epoxy.
• Install Signal Cable: Each transducer has 15ft of connected signal cable. This ensures an easy installation from the transducer to the controller.
• Mounting the Controller: The BPS-1 Controller runs off of your boats existing house battery. It is a simple 2-wire connection the the battery bank or distribution panel.
• Enjoy Worry-Free Boating: Thats it! Your BPS system is done! Let our advanced antifouling protection do its job. Each system is programmed with a multi-frequency sweeping algorithm to ensure that your boat has the best antifouling protection on the market.

How the Technology Works:

• The Mechanism: The system emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves through the hull drives, creating a microscopic barrier of resonance.
• Targeting the Root Cause: These ultrasound waves repel biofouling from attaching to your hull before they ever have the chance to attach.
• Eco-Friendly: 100% chemical-free. It does not leach pollutants into the water, making it safe for marinas with strict environmental regulations.
• Marine Life Safe: The frequencies used are outside the hearing range of marine mammals and humans.

Benefits:

• Fuel Efficiency: A clean hull creates less drag. Maintaining hull smoothness ensures you get the best possible MPG and top speed.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Significantly extends the life of your bottom paint and reduces the frequency of expensive haul-outs.
• Diver Savings: Reduces the need for monthly hull cleaning services.
• Hard-to-Reach Protection: Unlike paint, ultrasonic waves resonate through complex parts that are difficult to paint and clean, such as stern drives, sea strainers, and rudders.
• Fit Forget: Once installed, the system runs automatically with zero scheduled maintenance required.

The BPS Marine BPS-8 is an advanced ultrasonic antifouling system designed to protect vessels up to 80 feet in length. Featuring eight high-frequency transducers, this system provides comprehensive coverage for hulls, drives, rudders, stabilizers, and other underwater surfaces. Its multi-frequency ultrasonic sweep algorithm (20kHz-42kHz) ensures optimal biofouling prevention by emitting microscopic ultrasonic waves that create a resonance barrier, effectively repelling marine growth before it attaches. This chemical-free technology offers a safe and eco-friendly alternative to traditional antifouling paints, making it suitable for marinas with strict environmental standards.

The package includes a control module with an integrated power cable, eight submersible transducers with 15-foot cables, additional extension cables, epoxy kits for installation, and a detailed manual. Installation is straightforward: transducers are mounted directly onto the hull surface using epoxy, eliminating the need for through-hull fittings. The control unit connects easily to your boat’s existing house battery with a simple 2-wire setup, providing a hassle-free setup process that requires no scheduled maintenance. Once installed, the system operates automatically, utilizing a sophisticated sweeping algorithm to ensure continuous antifouling protection across the entire vessel.

How the technology works is based on emitting ultrasonic waves that generate a microscopic resonance barrier, preventing marine organisms from attaching to your hull. Unlike traditional antifouling methods, this system is eco-friendly, emitting frequencies outside the hearing range of marine mammals and humans, ensuring safety for marine life. The ultrasonic protection penetrates complex areas such as stern drives, sea strainers, and rudders, which are often difficult to clean or paint, providing consistent coverage where it’s most needed.

Benefits of the BPS-8 system include improved fuel efficiency by maintaining a smooth hull surface, reducing drag and increasing miles per gallon. It extends the lifespan of bottom paint, decreases the frequency of costly haul-outs, and minimizes the need for hull cleaning services. The system's automatic operation means it requires no ongoing maintenance, offering a reliable, maintenance-free solution for boat owners seeking to protect their investment and enjoy worry-free boating. Designed for vessels under 52 feet with inboards or sail drives, the BPS-8 can be combined with additional units for larger ships, making it a versatile antifouling solution for a wide range of recreational and commercial boats.
