Reson SeaBat 7125
Dual-Frequency Multibeam Echosounder
Description
The RESON SeaBat 7125 is a multibeam echosounder for bathymetric surveys, operating at 200 kHz or 400 kHz with dual frequency available. It is offered in three configurations that use the same transducer set: the 7125-SV2 for surface vessels, the 7125-ROV2 for ROVs and the 7125-AUV for AUVs.
The SeaBat 7125 forms 512 beams (EA/ED) at 400 kHz and 256 beams at 200 kHz, with a maximum ping rate of 50 Hz (±1 Hz), pulse length of 33–300 µs and depth resolution of 6 mm. Along-track transmit beamwidth is 2° at 200 kHz and 1° at 400 kHz, and across-track receive beamwidth is 1° at 200 kHz and 0.5° at 400 kHz. Typical depth is 0.5–150 m at 400 kHz and 0.5–400 m at 200 kHz, and maximum depth is 175 m at 400 kHz and 450 m at 200 kHz. The datasheet states compliance with IHO SP44Ed5 over the entire depth range.
Listed features include real-time roll stabilisation, variable and steerable swath, and simultaneous output of bathymetry, sidescan, snippets backscatter and raw water column data in 7K data format. The maximum swath angle is given as 140° (165°), and FlexMode is optional. Operating temperature is −2 to +35 °C.
The 7125-SV2 has a surface transceiver with integrated multiport card, runs on 111/220 VAC (500 W average), uses a 25 m transducer cable and has a system depth rating of 25 m; it is available with RESON PDS2000 software pre-installed. The 7125-ROV2 runs on 48 V DC (200 W max), includes a 6000 m rated titanium interface bottle and has a 6000 m system depth rating. The 7125-AUV runs on 48 V DC (110 W max), has its electronics on an aluminium frame and offers an optional 6000 m rated titanium electronics housing.
