A DOPPLER SPEED LOG YOU CAN AFFORD (and can't afford to be without) O-JtJIW /- 0-20 FT/KIN .jflMNk. KH0TS M DOPPLER VELOCITY LOG MODEL 582 OFF POWER Our model 582 Doppler Velocity Log offers superior performance and system accuracy to that of EM and Pitot tube logs at the same installed cost. If you are involved in ocean navigation, channel and harbor maneuvers, speed trials and ships performance checks, docking, dredging, oceanographic research, etc., where velocity resolution and accuracy are critical requirements, and if you are interested in such features as: • Precise speed readings from six inches below the vessel bottom to full ocean depths; • First 200 feet (below transducer) speed readings are relative to the bottom, independent of currents (in greater water depths, readings are given relative to water mass); • Transducer flush-mounted to hull (eliminates need for shallow water retraction); • Stable readings at very low speeds (down to .01 knot); • Interfacing speed log with other ship control systems (i.e., true motion radar, computers, etc.); • Rugged construction; proven reliability then you should send for our complete brochure.
