Chasing Cerulean Omniscan 450 FS Forward Looking Sonar System

by Chasing

Engineered for precision underwater scanning, this forward-looking sonar system delivers exceptional situational awareness in even the most turbid conditions. The integrated transducer and electronics package provides real-time visualization through Cerulean SonarView software, enabling operators to instantly focus on areas of interest without the delays typical of mechanical scanning systems.

Operating at 450 kHz with an ultra-narrow 0.8° beam width and impressive 50° vertical coverage, this system achieves range resolution up to 1/1200 while maintaining rapid 20 pings per second scanning speeds at ranges up to 30m. Available in both 100m and 300m depth-rated configurations, it offers versatile mounting options and seamless integration with ROV platforms.

Resolution: Up to 1/1200 range resolution Scan Rate: 20 pings per second at 30m Beam Width: 0.8° horizontal, 50° vertical Max Range: 100m Power Draw: 5-10 watts

Frequently Asked Questions

▶

What is the difference between the 100m and 300m versions?

The main differences are the depth rating and weight. The 100m version weighs 440g in air (-60g in water) while the 300m version weighs 825g in air (+325g in water). Both offer identical sonar performance specifications.

Can this sonar be mounted in different orientations?

Yes, the mounting plate allows for multiple orientation options including forward-looking and side-scanning configurations. For dual sonar setups, it's recommended to mount one forward and one sideways for 2D position tracking.

What software is required for operation?

The system uses Cerulean SonarView software for visualization and control. When used with Chasing ROVs, initial setup is done through the Chasing GO1 app before connecting to SonarView.
