MicronEchosounder Altimeter - Tritech

The Tritech MicronEchosounder is an addition to Tritech’s family of products for small underwater vehicles. Designed to be complementary to the MicronSonar, it can also act as a stand-alone altimeter, providing accurate height off the seabed and other subsea distance measurements. The MicronEchosounder is a robust professional offshore or freshwater altimeter, built to the highest quality standards. It is optimised for operation on small vehicles, as it is both compact and very lightweight in water. Ideal as an OEM product, being able to accommodate a wide range of voltage inputs, while the small size allows integration into small ROVs. The MicronEchosounder comes with a main and auxiliary port. The auxiliary port is designed to allow multiple products within this family to be used simultaneously on an ROV, while requiring only one connection to the surface control computer.
