Specications
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.
