EA600

Single beam echo sounder, From shallow to 11.000 m - Replaced by EA640

The EA600 singlebeam echosounder operates up to four high power transceivers simultaneously. For improved performance, they are installed close to the transducers and linked to the combined display and processor with a single data cable. Available frequencies span from 12 to 710kHz. A variety of highly efficient transducers is available to suit all your operational needs from extremely shallow water to a depth of 11.000 meters.
