IMPORTANT NOTICE
Pursuant to the United States Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security Export
rules and regulations, under Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 6A991 and 6A001, a minor
modification has been made in the range and frequencies available in the R2Sonic Multibeam
Echosounder family only for those systems that are
submerged to 100 metres depth or greater .
R2Sonic Multibeam Echosounders now come in either a Standard Spectrum (with the restriction) or
a Full Spectrum (no restriction) version.
The Standard Spectrum system will have the restrictions above apply only when submerged to a
depth greater than 100 metres. A Standard Spectrum system, when submerged to depths greater
than 100 metres, will be restricted to operating frequencies of no less than 350 kHz and ranges no
greater than 200 metres. There are no such restrictions for submerged depths of less than 100
metres or for a Full Spectrum system.
All systems with the Ultra High Density (UHD) feature are considered to be under the same export
restrictions as stated for a Standard Spectrum system.
The R2Sonic Multibeam Echosounders Full Spectrum version have no such modifications but are
subject to possible export control restrictions (please see the local R2Sonic representative for a
clarification of the rules and laws that apply to the country of interest).
The rules and regulations, under which this notice applies, are subject to change at any time and without notice
.
