Page 17: Section 1: Overview
SECTION 1: OVERVIEW The EdgeTech 6205s is a fully integrated Swath Bathymetry and Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar System that uses multiple receive elements, and one discrete transmit element, to produces real time, high resolution, side scan imagery, and three-dimensional maps of the seafloor. The 6205s overcomes the limitations of Multi Beam Echo Sounders (MBES) and Interferometric systems in shallow water by using EdgeTech’s unique Multi-Phase Echo Sounder (MPES) technology. -
Page 18: Applications
SECTION 2: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 1.1 Applications The 6205s next generation Swath Bathymetry & Side Scan Sonar has many potential applications, a few of which include: • Shallow Water Hydrographic Surveys • Benthic Habitat Mapping • Nautical Charting • Military Rapid Environmental Assessments (REA) •... -

Page 20: Section 2: System Description
The frequency sets listed above were chosen to provide optimum results for any given water depth up to 200m (660ft) below the transducer. The 6205s is for water depths between 5m – 50m (15ft – 164ft). Optimal Frequency depends on survey requirements. -

Page 23: Housing
2.1.4 Sound Velocity Sensor The 6205s Sonar Head has a flooded section that is used to house an AML Sound Velocity Sensor (SVS), which provides a response time of 47 μs, a resolution of 0.001 m/s, and a theoretical accuracy of ±0.025 m/s. -

Page 25: Sonar Arrays
The Side Scan Sonar operates at 230/550 kHz, 540/850, or 550/1600 kHz and collects simultaneously on both frequency channels. Bathymetry is obtained on either the 230 kHz or the 550 kHz. The 6205s utilizes two arrays (port and starboard) to map the seafloor much like a Dual Head Multibeam System. Each 6205s Array is constructed using 10 independent longitudinal PZT elements and two multi-segment PZT strings. -

SECTION 4: CONNECTIONS AND FORMATS The 6205s System relies on specific data formats and connections to produce its high-quality images and measurements. This section describes these data formats and connections along with providing diagrams to help the user better understand the hardware and data flow within the system. -
Page 42: System Connections And Data Flow
The following sub-sections describe the connections and data flow for the 6205s System. 4.2.1 Ethernet LAN Connections The Ethernet LAN connection from the Sonar Head to the 6205s Topside Interface is made using a physical wired connection via a 40inch extension and the standard 20m (65 ft) Deck Cable. The 6205s Sonar Interface then connects to a Topside Computer via a standard RJ-45 Ethernet plug. -
Page 43: Serial Port Connections
4.2.2 Serial Port Connections There are three RS-232 serial ports provided on the 6205s Sonar Interface box. COM1 and COM2 have been configured for high speed and high accuracy). COM3 is configured for standard RS-232 serial connections. Typical latencies for the high speed/high accuracy ports are less than 100us, whereas the standard serial port has up to 100ms. -
Page 44: Serial Port Configuration Examples
These data are transmitted (along with the raw side scan data) with a common timestamp up the Deck Cable to the 6205s Sonar Interface and are then passed to the Topside Computer through an Ethernet cable and via the 100Mbps link on Ethernet Port 1 (IP Address: 192.9.0.99). -

Some motion sensors cannot turn off specific fields within their output strings. For example, a sensor that outputs an OCTANS message delivers roll, pitch, heading, and heave to the 6205s Sonar Head with no way for the particular sensor to turn off any of these specific fields. If a sensor like this is paired with another sensor that outputs the same information but in a different message format (i.e. -
