Specications

The following specifications are valid when all 
four quadrants are wired in parallel. Note that 
the specifications may be altered without prior 
notice.

•  Resonant frequency: 38 kHz

•  Circular beamwidth: 7 ±1°

•  Directivity: 28.0 ±1 dB

•  Equivalent two-way

 

beam angle: -20.5 ±1 dB

•  Side lobes: ≤ -15 dB

•  Back radiation: ≤ -35 dB

•  Nominal impedance: 19Ω

  (Each quadrant: 75Ω)

•  Transmitting response:

 

183 dB re 1μPa per V

•  Receiving sensitivity, open circuit:

  -177 dB re 1V per μPa

•  Electroacoustic efficiency: 50%

•  Max. input power: 4000 W

•  Max. continuous power: 40 W

1

•  Max. transducer depth: 50 m

•  Cable length: 20 m

•  Cable diameter: 17,5 mm

•  Weight without cable: 40 kg

•  Storage temperature: -40 to +55° C

1 The ping rate (pings per second) multiplied 

with the pulse duration (in seconds), and then 
multiplied with the power output, must be less 
than 40 W.
