SeaSpy

Marine Magnetometer

SeaSPY2 configuration render

Workhorse System

A reliable high sensitivity magnetometer with unmatched absolute accuracy. It’s also the only longitudinal gradiometer on the market. Side Scan integration is also available, as are horizontal transverse gradiometers.

Applications:

Ideal for precise deep offshore surveys

Build Quality

Specialization matters

One Person Operation

12 kgs (27 lbs) for the mag 7 kgs (15 lbs) for a 50 m (164 ft) tow cable

Proven High Sensitivity

Independently tested by the world authority INTERMAGNET–the global network of observatories, monitoring the Earth’s magnetic field.

Unmatched Absolute Accuracy

0.1 nT accuracy and unmatched repeatability between sensors ensures best possible data.

No Heading Bias

No matter how our sensors are oriented, successive survey lines match up perfectly.

3w Power Requirement

1 car battery = 150 hours of continuous use 2 lantern batteries (26 Ah) = 104 hours of continuous use

Survey in Any Direction, Anywhere in the World

Custom omnidirectional overhauser sensors collects good, accurate data anywhere.

Sleek Stable Design

Resists snags and minimizes impacts. The polyurethane coated tail with molded fins acts as a bumper, while creating a stable towing platform.

Quick Glance Diagnostics

Automatic power supply cutoff, and leak detection give you plenty of time to pull the mag before damage.

Make SeaSPY2 a perfect fit for your application.
