EA640
Single beam echo sounder for full ocean depths
EA640 is a high performance hydrographic wide band single beam echo sounder for use in all water depths, from very shallow waters up to full ocean depths. EA640 supports transducers with frequencies from 10 to 500 kHz, The choice of transducer is the key to the range capability.
The following key components are necessary for EA640:
- The Wideband transceiver
- Single beam transducers
- EA640 software
- Transducer licenses
The Wideband transceiver
Available in two different variants: WBT standard (4 channels @500 Watts each, frequencies 10-500 kHz) and WBT high power (2 channels @2000 Watts each, frequencies 10-50 kHz).
EA frequency range: 30-500 kHz
Singlebeam transducers
The EA system can be used with a lot of singlebeam transducers, ranging from 10-500 kHz. KONGSBERG offers a wide range of transducers suitable for most types of singlebeam applications, including sidescan transducers and low frequency transducers, both suitable for the high depths as well as for sub-bottom imaging.
In addition, the EA software supports a wide range of 3rd party transducers. This may e.g. be useful for installations where transducers already are installed. Note though, that the physical parameters used for transmitting and receive needs to be known for optimal use of 3rd party transducers.
EA640 software
- The EA640 software is a user friendly and intuitive program that can be run on Windows 11 computers, laptop PC or tablets
Transducer licenses
Each WBT channel to use requires a software license generated for the applicable transducer.
