BlueSCAN 125

Underwater Echo Scanning System

The BlueSCAN 125 is a modular, high performance and portable sediment echo sounder.It is well suited for operations on small ships and boats. The sediment scanning system is developed especially for operations at shallow and space limited water. The power supply for the device can be either 230/110 V AC or 9 - 32 V DC (battery). Device operation can be easily and user friendly controlled via software. The echo data is stored via hard disk and can be printed online. The date, time and position are also saved with the echogram. The sound waves are generated through the use of the parametric acoustic effect. Therefore, a high resolution in the ground area and a deep penetration depth into the sediment are achievable.

The transducer can be either fixed out board or towed laterally. A special tow katamaran was developed specifically for this operation.  
The BlueSCAN 125 is designed for performance and flexibility. It is the most cost effective sediment sonar available today. Product Brief (PDF)
