ACCESSORIES STINGRAY STANDARD HOW THEY WORK > This is the basic dual alarm, dual rangeunit with LED display only. Very simply, they make a noise and measure the echo. Knowing that sound travels at 144 metres a second through
water allows us to calculate the depth by
measuring the interval between the sound
being made and the echo being heard. The
NASAStingray Echo sounders have a transducer with a high quality Lead Zirconate
Titanate Piezodisc crystal which creates
ultrasonic ‘sound’pulses at a frequency of
150 kHz (imperceptible to the human ear).
These pulses pass through the water and
bounce back off the bottom. The returning
echo pulse is then sensed by the transducer
crystal. On these rotary flashing LED type
sounders, a pulse is generated as the LED
flashes at the 12 o’clock position. The rotor
arm is calibrated to run at a speed whereby
when it flashes on receiving the returned
pulse this flash will be in the correct position
on the dial to indicate the correct depth. STINGRAY TWIN > Dual alarm, dual range sounder with digital
LCD depth readout in addition to the flash-
ing LED display. FEATURES > The NASAStingray Echo Sounders come in
a slimline case with an easy to read extra
bright LED display on a 4 inch dial. They both
have a dual audible alarms for shallow and
deep water which can be set to give a reliable
anchor marine watch. Both sounders can be set for
two ranges either 1-25 metres or 1-100
metres, and are simplicity itself to operate.
They come complete with transducer and
stirrup mounting bracket and only require
connection to the ships 12v power supply. STINGRAY ECHO SOUNDER Stirrup mounting bracket for ?Weatherman
