Identifier: SeaBeam 3012-P1
Docucomp UUID: 9e873ca9-762c-4ae3-9955-1d2ce1f70316
Instrument / Gear: Instrument
Instrument Type: multibeam echosounder
Description:

The EM 712 multibeam echosounder is a second generation high to very high resolution seabed mapping system capable of meeting all relevant survey standards. The system configuration can be tailored to the user's requirement, allowing for choice of beam widths as well as transmission modes. The minimum survey depth is from less than 3 meters below the transducers, and the maximum depth is an unmatched 3600 meters. Across track coverage (swath width) is now more than 3500 meters. Further key advances made for the EM 712 include low-noise receiver transducers and electronics in addition to a smaller, lighter form factor, enabling for more flexible installation on a wider variety of vessels.The EM 710 operates at sonar frequencies in the 40 to 100 kHz range.
