    CHCNAV HN-400M Dual-Frequency Multibeam Echosounder

    The CHCNAV HN-400M is a compact dual-frequency multibeam echosounder designed for professional hydrographic surveys in demanding conditions — turbid water, depth variation and vessel motion included. Dual-frequency operation at 400 kHz and 550 kHz delivers both high-resolution shallow-water performance and improved penetration at depth or in turbid conditions from a single instrument. A 0.03° high-precision integrated IMU provides centimetre-level real-time motion compensation, maintaining survey line continuity at up to Sea State 3 — suppressing vessel roll, pitch and heave to prevent broken survey lines in offshore harbour conditions. At 145° swath coverage and up to 6 times water depth, the HN-400M significantly reduces the number of survey lines needed for complete coverage. Calibration-free installation means it's ready to survey immediately on arrival at site, with full field control via CHCNAV EasySail in one touch.
