Abstract
An arrangement for the deployment of seismic sensor units, such as sensor nodes (), on the seabed includes a frame structure that is adapted to carry a container () for containment of a data registration unit and additional auxiliary equipment for the sensor node. The arrangement has supports () that can rest against the seabed, and an attachment means () for a lifting hook, for raising and lowering by means of a crane. There is a holder () for the sensor node () that can be positioned on the seabed and which is connected to the container through a signal cable (). A releasable attachment means () holds the sensor node () in a downwardly extending position with respect to the supports (). The attachment means () is located with a horizontal distance from the container (). A latch mechanism () for the attachment means () is adapted to release the sensor node ().
