Accurately mastering a ship's draft and the water depth of the surrounding waters is crucial for navigation. A slight oversight can put the vessel at risk of grounding, which not only causes severe damage to the ship itself but may also lead to a series of serious consequences such as cargo loss and environmental pollution. Portable ultrasonic sounders are reliable tools that help crew members real-time monitor the ship's draft and surrounding water depths, preventing grounding accidents.
The FT - CS120 ultrasonic water depth detector is a convenient and easy - to - use portable depth sounder. It works by transmitting ultrasonic pulses underwater. Using the fixed propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in water and the time interval from transmission to reception, it accurately calculates the depth from the water surface to the seabed and automatically converts and displays the result. This instrument has a measurement range of 0 - 120 meters, meeting the measurement needs of water environments such as reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and shallow seas.
Crew members can operate the portable ultrasonic sounder with great simplicity. First, correctly install the sounder's transducer at a suitable position on the hull, connect the power supply and data transmission cables, and then turn on the device to start working. Crew members can observe the water depth at the ship's location in real time through the sounder's display screen. By combining this with the ship's draft, they can judge the safe distance between the ship and the seabed. If the water depth approaches or is lower than the ship's draft, it is necessary to adjust the course, reduce the speed, or stop the ship to avoid grounding accidents.
