Hull unit familiarization
The standard SP75 Hull Unit is designed to lower the transducer 1 meter below the ship’s hull. The transducer can also be lowered to any selectable middle position. Note that in case of voltage failure, the array can be manually hoisted or lowered by means of a hand crank. The spherical transducer with 241 elements allows the sonar beam to give full 360° coverage of the water volume around and below the vessel.
