The paid-out cable length is shown on an LCD display, on a PC’s screen, and can be forwarded as RS232 serial data for use with a wide variety of data logging systems.
Typical applications include SideScan Sonar towfish, Sub Bottom Profilers, Remotely Operated Vehicles, CTD systems and Magnetometer arrays
With 128 distinct physical beams operating at 3MHz, the ARIS Explorer 3000 can provide higher resolution than any other imaging sonar in its class, with unprecedented image clarity even in dark or turbid waters.
For longer range applications, Sound Metrics offers the Explorer 1800 and Explorer 1200 models. All models offer dual frequencies, dynamic focusing, multiple recording and output options, background subtraction and innovative soft-ware.
Teamed with the ARIS Rotator AR2 on a tripod, pole-mount or ROV, the ARIS Explorer line opens up exciting new possibilities of underwater discovery.
The ARIS Explorer 1800 delivers image clarity that is unmatched by any other sonar in its class. At 1.8 MHz, this imaging sonar provides detail sufficient for thorough inspection.
At the lower frequency of 1.1 MHz, the ARIS Explorer 1800’s clarity makes it an appropriate tool for detecting targets with high resolution up to 35 meters. The near-video quality images are presented through powerful and innovative software. The ARIS Explorer 1800 is ideally suited for an array of applications; from fisheries management to detecting and inspecting underwater structures and targets.
The high resolution of the ARIS makes it an excellent choice for military and law enforcement uses such as hull and berth sweeps, search and rescue, and port security. Teamed with the available ARIS Rotator AR2, the sonar can be easily and accurately aimed and allows for pan/tilt or tilt/roll.
With the Sound Metrics ARIS Rotator AR2, easily and accurately aim the ARIS Explorer with 2-axis control of pan and tilt or tilt and roll.
The AR2 rotates 360° to enable complete imaging of the surrounding environment. Varying the roll angle on a target provides a 3D-like perspective and also rolls the sonar to the best possible angle to image the seafloor, ship hulls, dam faces, etc.
Manual and automated control is simple using the ARIScope software interface. Both the sonar and the AR2 operate on a single standard cable.
The WSM6 is designed for positioning ROVs, towfish and other mobile targets in water depths up to 4,000 metres.
The compact and rugged design is based on the field proven WSM mechanics and is available in MF Directional and MF Omni-Directional versions.
The latest Sonardyne Wideband®2 signal technology has been incorporated, which offers superior ranging accuracy and fast USBL position updates.
The WSM 6+ is designed for positioning ROVs, towfish and other mobile targets in water depths up to 4,000 metres.
The compact and rugged design is based on the field proven WSM mechanics and is available in MF Directional and MF Omni-Directional versions.
The latest Sonardyne Wideband®2 signal technology has been incorporated, which offers superior ranging accuracy and fast USBL position updates.
In some situations, reverberation or multipath of the tone interrogation can cause interference problems.
The WMT is Sonardyne’s first mini-sized transponder.
It is slightly larger than the WSM and provides full two-way Wideband interrogation and reply which completely mitigates interference from and to other users.
