Model 290 Series

Model 290 Series
  • MULTIPLE FREQUENCY OPTIONS
  • SIDE-SCAN TRANSDUCER
  • SHALLOW WATER SURVEYING
  • HULL MOUNTED
  • TOW FISH OPTION

The 290 SERIES transducers have been designed to complement shallow water echo sounder surveying operations typically carried out by Port and River Authorities. Eliminating the need to deploy a tow fish, these side-scan transducers can be mounted directly onto the hull and inclined downwards away from the surface, to provide useful “fill-in data” between adjacent survey runs. 

Both transducer types are available with or without calibration, traceable to National Standards.
