Compact echo sounder HYD10

single-beam

Overview

The HYD10 Portable Echo Sounder by ComNav is a compact, field-ready instrument for automatic depth measurement and hydrographic surveys. Built on a Linux industrial platform, it supports RTK input and wireless connections to simplify survey workflows while delivering stable, high-resolution depth data.

Key features

• High accuracy depth measurement with 1 cm resolution and ±1 cm + 0.1% × h accuracy
• Lightweight, portable design for fast deployment
• Wireless connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 and WiFi for mobile device link and RTK integration
• Integrated Survey Master software combining depth and positioning workflows
• Rugged probe construction (316 stainless steel) with IP67 protection
• Long-lasting lithium battery with approx. 8 hours operation

Functional details

• High accuracy: Next-generation ultrasonic processing and high S/N circuit design provide precise detection of shallow variations and underwater obstacles.
• Integrated workflows: Survey Master software merges hydrographic modules and RTK surveying to produce synchronized depth + positioning datasets without switching systems.
• Wireless convenience: Stable Bluetooth link to mobile devices and WiFi-based RTK integration remove the need for complex wired setups and reduce failure points in the field.
