Fixed-mount installation with no moving parts

  • Transducer Module - Front Face

    Robust Array Face

    Tough, marine grade urethane encapsulates the transmit and receive arrays.

    A stainless steel housing protects the internal electronics against the harsh marine environment.

  • Transducer Module - Rear

    Wet Mateable Connector

    An underwater wet mateable connector on the rear of the unit allows for installation and removal by diver while the vessel is afloat.

    Minimal maintenance is needed to keep the system working flawlessly.

  • Transducer Module installed

    Secure Installation

    Eight mounting bolts secure the unit to the fairing integrated into the vessel’s hull. A fixed installation means no moving parts and is suitable for both new build and refit applications.

    FarSounder’s fairing designs are suitable for steel, aluminum, and composite hulls.

Hoist Mount Installation for Ice Breakers

  • Deploy for Navigation

    Though hoist mechanisms can be sourced locally by the shipyard yard, FarSounder’s partner C4R offers an off-the-shelf system designed specifically for the Argos 1000. This solution is utilized by a number of well known ice-breakers.

  • Retract During Ice Breaking

    The Argos 1000 Transducer Module is housed in a retractable steal pod with integrated cover-plate. When retracted, the cover-plate sits flush with the hull and is reinforced for protection during ice-breaking.
