BPS-8 - Bps Marine 12VDC Ultrasonic Antifouling System

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 boat's existing house battery. It is a simple 2-wire connection the the battery bank or distribution panel.
• Enjoy Worry-Free Boating: That's 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 ultrasonic antifouling system designed for marine vessels. This 12VDC system utilizes eight submersible transducers to emit multi-frequency ultrasonic waves (20kHz-42kHz) through the hull, creating a microscopic barrier that deters biofouling attachment. It is suitable for protecting hulls, drives, rudders, and stabilizers. The BPS-8 system can provide antifouling protection for hulls up to 80 feet in length and is also a solution for vessels under 52 feet with inboards or sail drives, covering the entire vessel with a single unit. Installation involves epoxying transducers directly to the hull surface and connecting the control module to a 12V or 24V DC house battery. This system aims to reduce maintenance costs by extending bottom paint life, decreasing the need for hull cleaning services, and improving fuel efficiency by maintaining hull smoothness. It operates automatically once installed.
