965 Imaging
The Imagenex Model 965 is an advanced, high-speed, high-resolution, multibeam imaging sonar system that has been designed to provide simple, reliable, and accurate representation of underwater images.
The system consists of an underwater sonar head and an optional tilt motor assembly (recommended) connected by Ethernet to a Windows™ based computer.
The Model 965 includes circuitry which permits the attachment of an optional tilt motor assembly. As a recommended option, this drive, which allows for real time vertical angular adjustment of the sonar, enables the operator to adjust the vertical scan angle from +10° to -90° in 5° increments. This permits the operator to tilt the sonar down towards the target as it approaches.
Underwater Hardware Specifications
Frequency
260 kHz or
Optional 675 kHz
Transducer Beam Width
(nominal)
Receive: 120° (horizontal) x 20° (vertical)
Transmit: 120° (horizontal) x 20° (vertical)
Effective Horiz. Beam Width
1.5°
Beams*
120, 240, 480
*Data is acquired at full resolution every shot: processing the data for screen display on a PC can slow the system at highest number of beams. 120 beam mode is recommended for real time data acquisition. The data can then be played back at highest resolution (480 beam).
