SBES
Multiple Singlebeam Echo Sounder System

Singlebeam Echo Sounder System consists of multiple instruments which measure bathymetry in additional areas. SBES consisted of a high frequency Odom CV200 at 200 to 24 kHz operating to 5000 feet deep or Simrad’s NSS7 evo2’s paired with Navico’s BSM-1 and Airmar Lowrance sonar hub module, the 1 kW SS260, operating at 200 to 50 kHz to 2500 feet. It provides only a single measurement of water depth, directly beneath the ship.
