Echo Sounder · Navigation & Bridge Equipment
The Kongsberg EM2040 is a compact high‑frequency multibeam echo‑sounder that provides up to 800 beams for detailed shallow‑water seabed mapping, typically usable to depths of ~200 m. As an Echo Sounder, it is normally installed on the bridge with the required external sensors, antennas, displays and data-network interfaces. In that role, its primary purpose is to provide navigation, position, heading, speed, depth, traffic or bridge-management information according to the listed category. Radar, ECDIS, gyrocompass, GNSS, speed log, echo sounder and integrated bridge systems use different sensing principles, so calibration and interfaces must match the actual installed equipment. Capacity: Multibeam 200-400 kHz. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
