Fixed-mount installation with no moving parts
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
