CHCNAV D60

Explore our FAQs

• 1. What is the CHCNAV dual-frequency echo sounder used for?

  The CHCNAV D60 supports bathymetric surveys in turbid or variable-depth water. Its dual 200 kHz / 33 kHz output combines high-frequency accuracy with low-frequency penetration to detect the true bottom.

• 2. What is the depth range of the D60 dual-frequency echo sounder?

  At 200 kHz the D60 reads 0.2 to 250 m; at 33 kHz it reaches 0.8 to 1000 m. In shallow-to-deep transition zones, the sounder auto-adjusts parameters for continuous, uninterrupted measurement.

• 3. Which CHCNAV APACHE USVs are compatible with the D60?

  The D60 is directly compatible with the CHCNAV APACHE 4 and APACHE 4 Pro USVs. The APACHE 6 USV also supports the D60 with a custom-designed installation bracket.

• 4. Can the D60 dual-frequency echo sounder be installed on manned vessels?

  Yes. CHCNAV provides a manned vessel solution including a mounting bracket, GNSS RTK base station, tablet, and Android-based EasySail software for data acquisition and survey operation.

• 5. What is the price of the CHCNAV D60 dual-frequency echo sounder?

  The price of the CHCNAV D60 depends on the selected configuration and accessories. For detailed pricing and available options, please contact CHC Navigation through the inquiry page.

• 6. Single beam vs multi beam echo sounder — which does the D60 use?

  The D60 is a single-beam dual-frequency echo sounder - a single transducer switches between 200 kHz and 33 kHz. Multi-beam sounders fan out multiple beams for swath mapping and suit larger hydrographic surveys.
