Product catalog summary
Overview: The EdgeTech 3400 Sub-Bottom Profiling System is an advanced tool designed for high-resolution imaging of sub-bottom stratigraphy in various aquatic environments. It utilizes EdgeTech's Full Spectrum CHIRP technology to provide excellent penetration and high-resolution images.
Specifications: The system operates with dual 2-16 kHz transducers and features a towfish with PVDF receiver arrays. It supports both sub-bottom and pipeliner modes for different survey needs. The system includes real-time reflection coefficient measurements and discrete transmit and receive channels for continuous data collection.
Features: Key features include enhanced PVDF receivers, dual transducer modes, pole-mount or tow options, digital receiver with Ethernet telemetry, real-time sensors for pitch, roll, heave, and depth, and a pulse library for various survey applications.
Applications: The system is suitable for geological surveys, environmental site investigations, sediment classification, buried pipeline and cable surveys, archaeological surveys, and mining/dredging surveys.
Key Specifications: The towfish operates within a frequency range of 2-16 kHz, with a vertical resolution of 6-10 cm. It offers penetration depths of up to 80 m in clay. The topside interface includes a rugged, portable enclosure with Windows 10 OS and supports multiple file formats. The tow cable has a tensile strength of 545 kg and a minimum bending radius of 15 cm.

ill FEATURES • Enhanced Sub-bottom PVDF receivers • Sub-bottom mode or pipeliner mode • Dual 2-16 kHz transducers • Pole-mount or tow options • Digital receiver on towfish with Ethernet telemetry and power • Reduced diameter tow cable • Real-time pitch, roll, heave and depth sensors • Surface echo attenuation • Pulse library tailored for different survey applications • Data display in multi-frequency bands ill APPLICATIONS • Geological surveys • Environmental site investigations • Sediment classification • Buried pipeline & cable surveys • Archeological surveys • Mining/dredging surveys • Map, measure & classify sediment layers within the sea floor Building on the long running success of the EdgeTech sub-bottom profiler product line, the EdgeTech 3400 provides users many enhancements to current sub-bottom profiler systems. The 3400 is a wideband Frequency Modulated (FM) sub-bottom profiler utilizing EdgeTech's proprietary Full Spectrum CHIRP technology. The system generates high resolution images of the sub-bottom stratigraphy in oceans, lakes, and rivers and provides excellent penetration in various bottom types. The EdgeTech 3400 comes in a dual 2-16 kHz transducer configuration. The towfish is configured with new PVDF receiver arrays segmented for standard sub-bottom profiling operations or a unique "pipeliner" mode for optimal location and imaging of buried pipelines. The system offers Real-Time Reflection Coefficient Measurements. This unique ability of the EdgeTech Sub-Bottom Profiler system allows users the ability to collect complex 'analytic' data using linear system architecture to measure sediment reflection and analyze sediment type determination. Additionally, the system has discrete transmit and receive channels allowing for continuous data collection resulting in a high ping rate particularly important for construction and pipeline surveys. The topside configuration can support higher power configurations using an external amplifier. The newly designed towfish can either be towed behind a vessel or pole mounted over the side of the vessel. The EdgeTech 3400 Sub-bottom Profiling System comes as a complete package and includes a towfish, cable and a topside processor (configurable as a portable or rackmount topside) running EdgeTech's DISCOVER sub-bottom acquisition & processing software. The 3400 can also be interfaced to 3rd party software.
