1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 System Overview
The Echotrac E20 Singlebeam Echosounder is a dual or single-channel echosounder. The Echotrac
E20 is addressing the need for a more compact echosounder for classical day-to-day hydrography on
a vessel of opportunity or as a fixed installation on a survey boat. The system is portable, ruggedized,
and watertight.
Figure 1: Echotrac E20 Singlebeam Echosounder System
1.2 System Architecture
A typical Echotrac E20 survey system consists of the following main components:
oEchotrac E20 singlebeam echosounder
oTransducer
oDGPS sensor, heave sensor
oSound velocity profiler
oLaptop with SBES UI and hydrographic software
Wet End Dry End
Echosounder

1.3 Main Features
oBottom detection: The Echotrac E20 provides the most reliable and robust bottom tracking
available for precise and repeatable survey results. Its bottom tracking algorithms are based
on our multibeam and singlebeam experience and relies on the proven technology from
SeaBat, Echotrac, ParaSound, and HydroSweep sonars.
oBuilt-In-Test-Environment (BITE): The BITE is an integral part of the sonar processing unit
monitoring the status of the internal electronic sub-systems. The BITE function is designed to
inform the operator that the system is performing normally and, therefore, that vessel time is
being utilized effectively. In the event of any errors, the operator is informed immediately for
prompt troubleshooting.
oDual channel: The Echotrac E20 dual-channel echosounder offers the full flexibility for
simultaneous two-channel survey operation in shallow waters.
oExtended Range (ER): If deeper water surveys are required, or in environments, where more
acoustic power is required, the Echotrac E20-ER provides all the power needed, enabling
survey down to 6000m, a max. output of 2-3kW (depending on transducer), and longer
chirped pulses.
oSBES User Interface: Intuitive user-friendly operator software.
oStandard data output: The Echotrac E20 provides bathymetry and echogram data in a
standard format for easy interfacing.
oAutomatic operation mode: Based on the reflectivity of the seabed this mode automatically
optimizes all sonar settings. The Automatic mode maximizes the ping rate and optimizes
other sonar settings for bathymetry data acquisition by ensuring that returning echoes are not
saturated. The Automatic mode is designed to reduce operator workload and skill level
requirements, and thus reduce risk of operator error.
1.4 Typical Applications
oAs-built surveys
oCoastal mapping
oEnvironmental research
oHabitat mapping
oHarbor mapping
oHydrographic surveys to IHO, LINZ, and U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers standards
oPre- and post-dredging and condition surveys
oRiver surveys
oSite clearance surveys

2.3 Standard Data Products
2.3.1 Depth Output via Serial or UDP Port
The Echotrac E20 is capable of generating ASCII depth data messages via serial or UDP port COM3.
The following depth data messages are supported by the Echotrac E20:
oDepth
Echotrac SBT
Example: “<sp>et<sp><sp>54321<CR>”
Echotrac DBT
Example: “<sp>ETOL<sp>54321<CR>”
DESO25
NMEA 0183: $SDDBS
Example: “$SDDBS, 3.3,f,1.9,M,0.6,F*AB“
oMotion
DESO DDV Heave
Example: “DH01.23<sp>m<CR><LF>“
oDraft
DESO DDV Draft
oSound velocity
DESO DDV Sound Velocity
oUniversal message
Echotrac DBX
Example: “$DBX,2019-09-30T205959.999,2,00123.999,-216.14,00.950,
00124.321,-218.14,01.100,1,-002.230,1,1435.98<CR><LF>”
For details, see Appendix C – Serial and UDP Output String Formats.
2.3.2 Echograms
The Echotrac E20 provides raw data of both channels on Ethernet, in s7k format, including all
auxiliary sensor data of sensors connected to the echosounder.
oThe raw echogram information is in full resolution of sampling rate.
oThe data of all auxiliary sensors connected to the E20, such as Heave and GPS, are provided
in the s7k record in full resolution as well.
oAcoustic basic information, such as used transmit pulses, basic echosounder settings,
operation modes, and receive gain, is part of the s7k record as well, to allow receiving
software to interpret the raw echogram values in a meaningful way.
The main singlebeam record types are 10000 SBES channel settings, 10018 SBES echogram water
column data, and 100027 SBES raw detection data. For details, refer to the Data Format Definition
document (see Appendix A – Reference Documentation).

3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Teledyne assumes no liability if this product is operated in an unsafe manner.
Use of the equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may affect
warranty situation (see Appendix E – Warranty Information).
3.1 Operator Safety
The Echotrac E20 system should be handled with attention to operator safety as well as protection of
the hardware components. General precautions include:
oDo not connect or disconnect cables with the power on.
oDo not attempt to open and service the E20 echosounder without specific instructions from
Teledyne Marine.
oDo not attempt to open and service the transducer.
Exposure to high-energy acoustic transmission, even outside the audible frequency
range, may cause severe health injury.
Avoid direct exposure to acoustic transmission:
-Wear hearing protection while in same room during higher energy tests.
-Make sure not to be in direction of sound transmission or directly behind the
transmitter during emission.
Hearing protection must be worn when in the vicinity of low frequency high power
transducers to avoid any hearing loss.
This icon on any of the components implies hazardous voltage on output connection.
3.2 Equipment Safety
Use appropriate discretion when handling the system components. The following list includes general
precautions:
oInspect each transit case or shipping box for physical damage prior to opening, and each
component for physical damage before installation.
oUse original shipping boxes to provide adequate packaging and shock absorption when
shipping or storing the equipment.
oBe careful to lift the equipment correctly, as it may be heavy.
oDo not drop the equipment.
oDo not connect or disconnect cables at the rear of the E20 while the unit is running. This can
damage the internal workings.
oDo not scratch the transducer. Place the unit on a clean surface and away from items that
may damage it.
oDo not lift the equipment by the cables.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Echotrac E20 Operator's Manual8

Version 8
Uncontrolled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
oDo not bend cables beyond the recommended limits.
oDo not exceed operating and storage temperature limits.
oUnused connectors should be sealed with dummy plugs.
oDo not place any objects on top of the E20 and do not expose the unit to direct sunshine, as
this may cause the unit to overheat.
