SW51 Acoustic Test Probe

Are your acoustic sensors working?

The SW51 is a versatile test instrument designed to measure the input and output levels of almost all subsea electro-acoustic devices.   The PROBE can provide operators with critical performance readiness criteria prior to deployment.  Check transponders, scanning sonars, pulse sonars, beacons, side-scan systems, DP systems and many others where access to the transducer(s) is available.  The SW51 will become a focal point for your preventative maintenance program and save hours of test and evaluation time.

VERSATILE -- PORTABLE -- STATE-OF-THE-ART
