Echosounders and Bathymetry Instruments

Bathymetry: the science of measuring depth. Whether you are surveying, dredging or managing underwater operations, accurate bathymetric data is critical, be it overall water depth or the location of specific instrumentation within the water column. Valeport presents a variety of integrated instrumentation packages designed to provide that high quality data, whatever the application.

Valeport's unique digital signal processing techniques use fuzzy logic to pick out and lock onto the genuine echo, while automatic power and gain control means that erroneous echoes are minimised and accurate readings can be made in water depths as shallow as 30cm. As a stand alone altimeter, this technology is ideal for integration into bathymetry packs. Combining the technology with integral GPS receiver and on board data logging provide our echosounders with the benefits of maximum versatility and minimal deployment time.

VA500 Altimeter

The VA500 Altimeter delivers a new approach to the problem of underwater positioning. State of the art signal processing offers unrivalled range and performance from a 500kHz transducer. Millimetre precision, 0.1m – 100m range, RS232/RS485/0-5V & 0-10V analogue outputs with a wide range power supply address the needs of the ROV, AUV and Hydrographic community in a compact, robust package.

The option of integrating a high accuracy pressure sensor (0.01%) as used in the MiniIPS offers an unbeatable package for your underwater positioning requirements. More Info

MIDAS BathyPack Bathymetry Package

The BathyPack is one of Valeport's premier MIDAS products, using state of the art sensors to generate precision Sound Velocity and Density profiles for highly accurate depth and height data. The simple top-end PC software, BathyLog, also allows all profile data to be used to monitor and correct multiple miniIPS pressure sensors, giving you the complete picture with one integrated sensor suite.

miniIPS Intelligent Pressure Sensor

The miniIPS is a precision underwater pressure sensor; 0.01% accuracy, a titanium housing and a choice of pressure ranges make it a cost effective solution for offshore engineers, vehicle pilots, and other operators who require highly accurate depth information in real time. The miniIPS is also compatible with Valeport's MIDAS BathyPack and BathyLog software, allowing the depth data to be continually updated for Density variations in the water column. More Info

MIDAS Surveyor GPS Echosounder

The MIDAS Surveyor has been designed to offer a low cost solution for small scale hydrographic surveys. The system is supplied with a 210kHz transducer as standard, and uses Valeport's own advanced digital signal processing techniques to ensure high accuracy and reliable bottom tracking. With an integral SBAS enabled DGPS receiver, the MIDAS Surveyor will log position and depth data for over 30 hours, as well as performing on-line correction using external heave and tide data inputs. Options include an additional 33kHz transducer, or high accuracy 16 channel DGPS receiver. More Info
