Reson Seabat 8101

General InformationThe system was designed to International Hydrographic Organization (IHO)standards to measure the seafloor to a maximum depth of 320 meters.If equipped with the Extended Range projector (Option 040), this depth increasesto 450 meters. Refer to Chapter 4 for additional information on this option. Option040 is standard on all deep-water versions of the SeaBat 8101 (those rated to1500 meters submergence depth, or more).1.1.4 How Much Seafloor Does it Measure?With an across track subtended angle of 150º, The SeaBat 8101 measures aswath width of 7.4 times the water depth, when in depths of 1 to 70 meters. Atdepths greater than 70 meters, the ratio of water depth to swath coverage decreases,as noted in Table 1 (all calculations assume the center of the swath tobe vertical).Table 1, Seafloor CoverageDepth in meters Coverage (x water depth)1-70 7.470-100 4.2*100-150 2.7*150-200 1.8*200-250 1.6*250-300 1.3** typical value1.2 Safety PrecautionsThe SeaBat 8101 system should be handled with attention to protection of thehardware components and operator safety. General precautions include:DO NOTDO NOTDO NOTDO NOTConnect or disconnect cables with power on.Attempt to open and service the Sonar Head.Operate the system while divers are in the water.Touch or handle any internal printed circuit boards without specificinstructions from RESON.DO NOT Operate the SeaBat 8101 system at a power setting higher than 1,while operating in air. A higher setting may damage the SonarHead’s transmit array ceramic elements.Chapter 2 provides detailed procedures for the correct installation of the SeaBat8101 system. Follow the steps provided for safety and to obtain the best systemperformance.______________________________________________________________________SeaBat 8101 Operator's Manual 1-4 Version 3.02
