How big is it?
Control unit is 27cm x 24cm x 12cm (10.62” x 9.68” x 4.87”) weighing 3.7kg (8.16lbs).
Transducer, cables and antenna are not included in this size description as these vary in size depending on chosen configuration
Maximum Depth?
99.99m is the maximum range of the Ceeducer Pro
Do I need a separate computer to collect data with the Ceeducer Pro?
No, the Ceeducer Pro will log all survey data internally. However you can interface the Ceeducer Pro with a computer running survey software such as HYPACK to give track guidance, back ground maps etc.
Internal battery life?
10+ hours of operation is available under standard configuration. If required the battery life can be extended dramatically by switching off the display screen. The display L.E.D.s will operate whenever the Ceeducer Pro is turned on ensuring everything is working as it should without the screen operating. We do however suggest the screen should be turned on from time to time to ensure the data is not being interrupted by fouling of the transducer (for example a build up of weed on transducer face, aeration around the transducer etc).
Can I mark points of interest during the survey?
Yes, the “FIX” button will log the vessel position and water depth exactly at the moment the button is pushed. An event number is assigned to each fix, starting at number 1 and will continue counting up until the memory is cleared. The number sequence does not restart for each new log file. This is useful to mark navigation markers, poles, obstructions or any other points of interest. These event fixes are downloaded using Ceedata with the relevant information.
What information is on the screen?
The Ceeducer Pro shows detail on water depth (HF &/or LF), GPS status (number of satellites, precision, correction age), water temperature, vessel speed, heading,
What choice do I have for transducers?
The Ceeducer Pro can be supplied with a 200 kHz transducer of either 2.75 degree or 8 degree beam angle or a dual frequency 200/30 kHz that will offer an indication of sediment depth in the survey area. All transducer options can be installed onto a metal mount designed to accommodate 50mm O.D pipe. This mount option offers protection for the transducer cable prolonging the service life of the unit.
Where should I mount the transducer?
The transducer should be mounted where it will pass through clean water (no aeration from the hull or propeller). The best position if possible is half way between the bow and the stern. This position limits the amount or vertical movement when encountering waves. The transducer should be braced to stop movement during transit. Minimum requirement is a line from the transducer to the bow. A rear line and under keel line will brace the transducer better if this is possible. The draft should be slightly less than the keel of the boat being used. This means the boat will ground before the transducer does giving some protection. A suggested draft is 50cm (measured from face of transducer to the water surface).
How fast can I go while collecting data?
Suggested survey speed is no more than 8 knots. Any faster and air bubbles can form around the transducer resulting in poor quality data. Speed may have to be decreased depending on mount position of the transducer.
What applications suit the Ceeducer Pro?
Anywhere that water does not exceed 100m deep. The Ceeducer Pro is suitable for lakes, rivers, harbours, bays, dams, dredging surveys and engineering surveys.
Can the Ceeducer Pro be used in fresh water?
Yes. The Ceeducer Pro is suitable in fresh or salt water. If using the automatic velocity mode ensure that setting in correct for your environment. Choose either fresh, salt or brackish water.
What is the output type from the Ceeducer Pro?
The data is downloaded in an ASCII format. This raw data can be processed through the Ceedata program (included in the cost of the Ceeducer Pro) to account for any geoidal shifts. Ceedata can also output a HYPACK .RAW file (including RTK if used) to be uploaded at a later time.
How is the data organised?
A LOG FILE must be created before collecting data. A name can be assigned to each file (six digit alphanumeric) to aid identification. The default file name is numeric and starts at 000001. We suggest that you break down large survey areas into smaller log files as it makes the data easier to analyse/process. Around 2 hours logging is a suggested maximum per file.
What type of boat do I need?
Anything that floats! The Ceeducer Pro has been in use all over the world in a variety of vessels such as small aluminium vessels (car top types), canoes, PWC and barges as well as large vessels. The Ceeducer Pro will operate in or on anything that can the keep the Ceeducer Pro from being immersed in water. The more stable the boat the better the data will be. The Ceeducer Pro is the ideal choice for jobs where the choice of vessels may be varied or unknown.
