DIDSONTM UNIBODY STANDARD and LONG RANGE

The Unibody fits the analog electronics and digital electronics in one housing below the lens compartment. The Unibody DIDSON comes in three different depth ratings. The 300-m and 1000-m rated housings are made from anodized aluminum. The 3000-m rated housing is made from titanium. See the 1000m and 3000m Deep Models page for information on those units. Shipping crates are included with all sonars.

The 300-m depth rated DIDSON has a rear-facing connector or a forward-facing connector. Almost all customers with fisheries applications mount their DIDSON in shallow water near the river bank and prefer the rear-facing connector. Almost all customers who mount their DIDSON on ROVs or AUVs prefer the forward-facing connector (FFC). The FFC allows the sonar and cable to fit in a smaller space. Typically the cable from the FFC forms a service loop, then connects to an existing pod on the vehicle.
