Hi-Target HD-Lite Single Beam Echo Sounder

Overview

The Hi-Target HD-Lite is a compact single beam echo sounder designed for hydrographic surveying and water depth measurement. Combining a digital sonar system with an integrated computer and a 15-inch display, it provides a practical solution for collecting and processing bathymetric data in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and waterways.

Operating at 200 kHz with a depth measurement range of 0.15 to 200 meters, the HD-Lite supports routine hydrographic surveys where reliable depth readings and straightforward field operation are essential.

Key Features

Integrated Hydrographic Surveying System

The HD-Lite combines echo sounding hardware, an onboard computer, and surveying software in one unit, reducing the need for separate data acquisition equipment.

200 kHz Single Beam Sonar

The sonar system provides water depth measurements from 0.15 to 200 meters, making it suitable for inland water surveys and other shallow-water applications.

15-Inch Display

A built-in 15-inch screen allows operators to monitor sounding information, survey navigation, and data collection directly from the instrument.

HiMAX Surveying Software

The integrated HiMAX software supports survey navigation, depth data acquisition, recording, and post-processing, helping operators manage hydrographic surveying workflows.

GNSS Connectivity

Bluetooth and serial interfaces support communication with compatible GNSS positioning equipment for coordinated depth and position data collection.

Portable Design

With a main unit weighing approximately 5.8 kg, the HD-Lite is designed for transportation and deployment on survey vessels.
