{"product_id":"sounder-s500","title":"Sounder S500 Echosounder","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe S500 is a single beam echosounder designed for small ROVs, AUVs, and ASVs. The transducer and control electronics are unbundled to minimize external mechanical profile and maximize flexibility. The transducer (54mm diameter x 22mm) is rated to 300m depth, and the electronics module is housed inside the vehicle’s pressure enclosure. A narrow beam width about 5 degrees focuses the acoustic energy providing 100m range and good angular definition. CHIRP technology also maximizes range and provides excellent range resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S500 sonar is a multipurpose single-beam echosounder. It can be used as an altimeter for ROVs and AUVs, for bathymetry work aboard a USV, as an obstacle avoidance sonar, and other underwater distance measurement applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S500 implements CHIRP modulation, which sends a varying frequency ultrasonic pulse. The advantages of CHIRP include better signal to noise ratio, and much higher range resolution than non-CHIRP devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S500 can report a simple distance measurement, or It can also provide the full signal profile for display as a “waterfall” plot like the display of a fishfinder. S500 is supported by SonarView, Cerulean Sonar’s sonar viewing application available for free download. Raw signal strength data profiles can also be provided for advanced analysis in technical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S500 uses a high frequency 500kHz transducer giving about 5° beam width for ROV and AUV altimeter and bathymetry applications. It has a measurement range of over 100m. A bottom-tracking algorithm runs on the device to determine the distance to the seafloor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree communication interfaces include Ethernet (100Mb\/sec), USB (12Mb\/sec), and 3.3-5.0V serial (115kbaud).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/5745\/2662\/files\/Sounder-SonarView.avif\" alt=\"SonarView\"\u003e","brand":"Cerulean Sonar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58747189789046,"sku":"SOUNDER-S500","price":890.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/5745\/2662\/files\/sounder.png?v=1789584782","url":"https:\/\/www.substore.fi\/products\/sounder-s500","provider":"Sub Marine Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
