Edgetech 4200 Sidescan Sonar System
The Edgetech 4200 Series is a versatile side scan sonar system that can be configured for almost any survey application from shallow to deep water operations. The 4200 utilizes EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology to provide crisp, high resolution imagery at ranges 20-30% greater than non-CHIRP systems; thus allowing customers to cover larger areas and save money spent on costly surveys.
Description
One of the unique features of the 4200 is the optional Multi-Pulse (MP) technology, which places two sound pulses in the water rather than one pulse like conventional side scan sonar systems. This allows the 4200 to be towed at speeds of up to 10 knots while still maintaining 100% bottom coverage. In addition, the MP technology will provide twice the resolution when operating at normal tow speeds, thus allowing for better target detection and classifi cation ability. A 4200 system comes with a choice of a dual simultaneous frequency towfish available in either a stainless steel or lightweight aluminum housing depending on operational requirements. Customers can also choose between a rack mount or portable topside processor or a digital link to interface to 3rd party topsides and software
