MULTIBEAM PROFILING SONAR with Internally Integrated Motion Reference Unit & Sound Velocity Sensor
The DT101 Multibeam Profiling Sonar (i.e. Multibeam Echo Sounder) is a single instrument integrating the sonar, motion reference unit (MRU), and sound velocity sensor into one sleek and compact unit. The DT101 requires only one cable for operating all three sensors and is a portable solution for any survey. Compatible with the DT100 SIR (Sensor Interface Relay) power supply/timing box, simply connecting a dual antenna GNSS/GPS receiver is all that is required to perform bathymetric surveys.
