Our Equipment Incudes J. W. Fishers Side Scan Sonars

SSS-100K/600K - Dual frequency and single frequency side scan sonars for locating objects on the ocean floor.

Fishers low-cost side scans come with a 17 inch wide thermal printer.

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 in the future.
 

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).

 The dual frequency (100K/600K) side scan gives the operator the best of both systems. It allows 600K operation (very high resolution) when searching for small or soft targets and 100K operation when searching for larger targets or covering wide search areas.
 
 

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.
A 17" wide thermal printer provides a detailed picture of the ocean floor and profile images of any object laying on the bottom. The high resolution of the print-out, at 203 dots per inch, is three times that of color monitor displays.

An optional computer hardware/software package is also available. The image is displayed on a monitor as shown below. See the Order Page for more detail of this option.
Key Features of the SSS-100K:
It's portability, rugged construction, low cost, high resolution thermal printer, and ease of operation.

The system is backed by Fishers exclusive, unconditional TWO YEAR warranty.
