Dual frequency and single frequency side scan sonar for locating objects on the ocean floor.

The Fishers SSS-100K/600K dual frequency side scan sonar represents a major price/performance breakthrough in low cost side scan systems. A single frequency side scan (100K or 600K) is available at an even lower cost. The single frequency systems can be updated to a dual frequency system any time.

The 600K single frequency side scan is ideal for law enforcement and dive rescue operations because of it's very high resolution over ranges up to 200'(400' swath). The higher frequency can show targets (drowning victims, clothing, etc) that lower frequency (100K to 300K) systems have difficulty detecting. The limitation of the 600K system is shorter range as compared to lower frequency side scan. However, the higher resolution of the high frequency is ideal when searching for small targets.

The 100K single frequency system is best for wreck hunting or general search applications. It has excellent long range capabilities of up to 1,800' per side (3,600' swath).

Currugated Steel BulkheadAll of Fishers side scan sonars come with a 500 foot depth rated towfish, 150 feet of cable, and a topside display.   The sonar image is displayed on a laptop computer.   The display is split down the center with each channel making up half the display.  The right channel shows the sonar image on the right side of the towfish and the left channel shows the sonar image on the left side of the towfish. 

The laptop computer displays real time color images of the sonar data using Fishers SONAR VIEW software.  The software gives the side scan operator complete control of all system functions with easy to use pull-down menus and icons on the screen.  The operator can change colors, ranges, amplifier gain, and other controls with a click of the mouse.  With the computer, side scan images can be stored in memory for playback and post processing at any time in the future.  Small file sections including screen shots can be copied for emailing.  A GPS system can also be connected to the computer to capture position coordinates with the side scan data.   Once GPS is connected the mouse cursor can be placed on any on screen object and its position coordinates will be displayed.

An optional splash proof display with ultra bright computer is also available for small open boat operations. Splash proof PC
