HydroBeam S2
Dual-frequency single-beam echosounder with a built-in 15-inch display, for survey launches and boats.
Supplied in India by Ecoleap Solutions with installation, training and after-sales support. Specifications below are from the manufacturer's published data.
| Frequencies | 200 kHz + 24 kHz (dual channel) |
|---|---|
| Depth range | 0.15 to 300 m (HF), 1 to 1000 m (LF) |
| Accuracy | ±0.01 m ± 0.1% of depth (HF) |
| Ping rate | 50 Hz |
Overview
The HydroBeam S2 runs a high-frequency 200 kHz channel and a low-frequency 24 kHz channel at the same time. The high channel gives centimetre resolution on the bed; the low channel penetrates soft sediment, so you can see the difference between the top of silt and firm bottom. The deck unit has its own 15-inch screen and runs SLHydro Sounder, so no separate laptop is needed on the boat.
Key features
- Simultaneous 200 kHz and 24 kHz channels
- High channel: 0.15 to 300 m, 1 cm resolution
- Low channel: 1 to 1000 m, sediment penetration
- Built-in 15-inch screen and quad-core computer
- Outputs NMEA 0183, DESO 25, ODOM, Knudsen, Bathy, Echotrac
- Runs on DC 10 to 30 V or AC 110 to 240 V
