Sensors

The core of the system is its high-performance transducer sensor. This vital component operates by emitting ultrasonic pulses and precisely measuring the time it takes for the echo to return from the seabed. This time-of-flight data is instantly processed and converted into an accurate depth reading, providing a continuous and reliable picture of the underwater terrain beneath your hull.
