SonarMite BTx/SPx OEM versions

The  OEM  (Original  Equipment  Manufacturers)  versions  of  the  SonarMite  are
compact budget versions of the portable survey equipment used mainly for permanent
installations  in a boat  or third party equipment  such as  the HyDrone RCV. Power is
provided  by  an  external  12/24vDC  battery  or  source,  the  internal  power  circuit  is
protected against reverse polarity connection.
