The Simrad ES38DD is a depth rated split-beam transducer. It is mainly designed for fishery research applications.
The Simrad ES38DD uses 88 "tonpilz" elements distributed over four quadrants. It is filled with a liquid, and this enables use down to 1500 metres depth. This makes the transducer well suited for landers and towed bodies.
The transducer is designed for mounting through the hull using a mounting ring. The transducer cable is 1 metre long and is fitted with Burton female transducer connector.
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
Frequency: 38 kHz
Circular beamwidth: 7 degrees
Cable length: 1 metre

The Simrad ES38DD is a splitbeam echo sounder transducer incorporating 88 Tonpilz elements distributed over four quadrants. The transducer is filled with liquid, and may thus be used at water depths down to 1500 meters.
The Tonpilz elements used in the ES38DD are identical to those found in the ES38B transducer, and therefore generate similar data with the exception of higher back radiation
and lower efficiency.
