Full color echogram across an 8-inch daylight-viewing TFT LCD
screen with three selectable background colors. Echoes are shown
in up to 7 user-definable colors, or alternatively only the bottom
contour can be displayed in a single color. Up to 4 echo dynamic
ranges are also selectable to suit local bottom conditions.
Dual frequency operation covering 5 to 1000 meters of depth in
8 range steps manually or automatically, with a single keypress
selecting high frequency (200, 135 or 100 kHz) or low frequency
(33 or 50 kHz). Readout in fathoms or feet is also available.
Fully automatic functions including depth range selection,
receiver gain and TVG settings and transmit power level for
hands-free operation under most bottom conditions. Manual
override is also possible in situations where you want the depth
range fixed or where you want to control the gain or power for
specific applications.
Password-protected menu system prohibits unauthorized access
to critical control parameters and software settings.
1kW rms (max.) transmit output with power level automatically
adjusted to suit the range selected. Manual override is also
possible in special situations where more power is needed for
shallow water sounding.
Shows LAT/LON and water temperature data in addition to
soundings and associated date/time with appropriate optional
sensors plugged in. These types of data are automatically output
via RS-232C and RS-422 ports for use by ECDIS, VDR and
other onboard electronics.
Large capacity non-volatile (flash) memory automatically stores
sounding data, associated date/time and other optionally
available data for up to 24 hours.
Stored data can be displayed graphically as well as digitally
in a special data history window accessible with a single
keypress, and can be uploaded to a PC for off-line processing
and analysis.
Agraphics printer can be plugged into a devoted rear panel
connector to print out a monochrome hard copy of the current
echogram.
Echogram feed rate can be changed in 3 steps for extended
display period across the screen without affecting the sounding
rate.
An extensive alarm function visually and audibly warns the
navigator against decreasing depth, missing or weakening
bottom echo, falling power supply voltage and audibly against
power outage/shutoff.
Aseparate AC power adapter (Model AC-2000) is supplied as
standard. When connected up via the AC-2000, the system will
automatically switch to the ship's auxiliary DC power source in
the event of an AC power line failure.
