TRANSDUCER

ES 120-7DD

Introduction

The  ES  120-7DD  is  a  split-beam  transducer 

incorporating  76  piezo-ceramic  elements  distributed 

over  four  quadrants.  It  is  designed  for  deep  water 

installations  with  a  maximum  depth  of  1500  m. 

The following specications are valid when all four 

quadrants are connected in parallel.
