Sonarmite/SonarM8 User Manual
Introduction
The Sonarmite and HydroLite-TM were designed to be an ultra-portable survey-grade,
self-contained bathymetric survey system. The internal battery, blue tooth and easy
integration make it most popular with Survey and Engineering companies.
Seafloor Systems partnered with Ohmex UK back in 2006 while we were asked to build a
replacement survey kit for the US Army and Navy dive teams. The Sonarmite was the
perfect fit for our HydroLite-TM kit at the time. We cut the Army's system down from 3
cases to one pelican case; also the ease of operation was appreciated.
As time went on we began building the systems in our Northern California facility
upgrading as we went. Today's system has longer battery life, stronger blue tooth, Mil-
spec connectors and caps and much more. Thanks to Hypack, Trimble, Carlson, Leica
and Topcon for writing drivers to make logging easy for our customers, this has really
boosted popularity and sales worldwide. We now build all of the systems for North and
South America as well as other Continents.
