 A
low/cost precision underwater altimeter. Fishers
UA-2 shows the distance between towed body and ocean bottom.
The UA-2 adds a new and needed
dimension to the effectiveness and accuracy of underwater
searches and surveys. The altimeter provides a cost effective
method for measuring the distance between a towed body and the
ocean floor. It allows underwater detection and survey
equipment to be held at precise altitudes above the
bottom. Using the UA-2 ensures targets are not missed
because equipment is towed too high off the bottom and helps
avoid damage from towing too
close to the bottom.
No longer is it necessary to integrate chart information, cable
lengths, and towing speed to calculate the distance between the
towed body and the bottom. The UA-2 gives an accurate
measurement of the actual distance on a digital LCD display. The
distance reading is updated 3 times a second. The large LCD
readout shows depth in 1 foot increments from 1 to 199 feet. A
switch allows distance to be displayed in meters or feet. The
UA-2 altimeter also has an adjustable audio alarm which alerts
the operator if the equipment is towed below a preset distance.
The UA-2 underwater altimeter system
includes a transducer for the tow body, a 150 foot cable,
and the topside control unit. The system is powered by a 12 volt
battery.
Options for the system are cable lengths up to 1000 feet, and an
output to a computer.
Key Features of the UA-2:
It's large, easy to read LCD display, audio alarm, and
adaptability to any towed body.
The system is backed by Fishers exclusive,
unconditional TWO YEAR warranty.
