Medium Water Multibeam System

Elac SeaBeam 1000 series

SeaBeam 1000 series consists of SeaBeam 1180 and SeaBeam 1185. Seabeam 1180/1185 multibeam echo sounders are well recognized and proven tools for collecting bathymetric, sidescan and backscatter data in waters up to 600 m and in extremely sedimented areas. The systems are completely roll-stabilized and guarantee high-precision survey results.

SeaBeam 1180

SeaBeam 1180 multibeam echo sounder collects bathymetric and side scan data in shallow water over a wide swath in excess of 150 degrees.High resolution data are recorded with more than 25 pings per second up to 900 m swath width.

SeaBeam 1180 has become the industry standard for precision measurement at low costs and is first choice for leading commercial survey companies, research institutes and Navies.

  • 180 kHz frequency
  • 126 individual beams
  • 153° max. swath width (up to 900 m seafloor coverage)
  • 600 m maximal depth
  • 1.5° resolution
  • Exceeding IHO standards
  • Integrated side scan sonar
  • Real time motion compensation
  • Mobile and easy to install
  • Dual frequency option

SeaBeam 1185

The multibeam system SB 1185 collects bathymetric data and side scan data in extremely shallow water. The single beams are closely directed at an angle of 1.5 by 1.5° at a swath width in excess of 150°. The SB 1185 is the ideal system for river navigation and harbor authorities as well as for scientific institutes.

Side lobe suppression is better than 36 dB, a very superior signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in very low error rates. SB 1185 is the shallow water variant of the proven SB 1180 system. Upgrade to the SB 1180 is possible at a very attractive price
