Using Multiple Omniscans

Side scan applications often use a pair of Omniscan 450 SS devices to scan both sides in one vehicle pass. Dual devices are also great for utilizing Omniscan's Doppler Motion Tracking capability.

If setting up multiple Omniscans, see the detailed instruction in the SonarView manual.

Don't leave the Omniscan 450 pinging for long periods of time when out of the water. If you do, the transmit transducer will heat up gradually, and could be damaged. Several minutes at a time should be fine.

If you've gotten to this point successfully, all is well and you may proceed to the water!
