| Definition | The DS-60 is a precision, 3-axis Doppler sonar, designed to output the required information for berthing and docking operations of vessels, and navigation in narrow channels or straits. It is specifically designed for vessels of 50,000 GT and greater, such as container vessels and tankers, in depths between 1 and 200 metres. Speeds are detected relative to the ground or water for both fore-aft and port-starboard directions. The three-beam transmission reduces the effects of the vessel's pitch and roll. The DS-60 provides a greatly downsized transducer unit as compared to the DS-30, reducing installation time and space requirements. The high-frequency 320 kHz transducer measures ship's longitudinal (fore-aft) and transverse (port-starboard) speed, as well as water speed and direction under the hull. Information is output on an 8.4-inch colour LCD display, with three modes: 3-axis speed, berthing, and navigation data. Water tracking inaccuracy is +/- 1 % or +/- 1 kn (whichever is greater). Ground tracking inaccuracy where ship speed is less than 1 knot is +/- 0.01 m/s, or +/- 1 % or +/- 0.1 kn (whichever is greater) where ship speed is more than 1 knot. | ||
