1. INTRODUCTION
The DT360Xi is an advanced high-speed, high-resolution multibeam echosounder system (MBES) that has the
capability to scan in a 360° arc with an along-track transducer beamwidth of 0.7°. Its primary use is for
applications that require all-round profile points for example internal bores, pipelines, flooded structures and
caves and caverns.
The system consists of an underwater sonar head connected by an Ethernet cable to a surface personal
computer (PC). A top-side power supply supplies operational power via the same cable.
The effective beamwidth is selectable at 0.75°, 1.5° and 3° and the number of beams are selectable at 360,
720 and 1440 beams. Data is acquired at full resolution every shot but processing the data for screen display
on a PC can slow the system at highest number of beams. 360 Beam mode is therefore recommended for real
time data acquisition and data can then be played back at the high-resolution of 1440 beams.
The general features are:
Frequency
2.25 MHz
Transducer Beam Width (Nominal)
360° x 0.7°
Effective Beam Widths
Narrow: 0.75°
Medium: 1.5°
Wide: 3°
Minimum Range

2. GETTING STARTED
The DT360Xi was designed to be user friendly and simple to set up. The following paragraphs detail the
recommended considerations and set-up:
2.1. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
It is recommended that the 4 X mounting holes be used to secure the sonar to a retaining frame
(highlighted in red below). The transmitter and receiving transducers should be clear of any obstruction
and have a clear view of any targets:
Figure 1 Mounting Arrangement
The sonar is designed to be mounted in the horizontal plane with the sonar scanning vertically, but may
be mounted vertically with horizontal scanning.
