SPECIFICATIONS OF THE DOPPLER SPEED LOG
DS-80
1. GENERAL
(1) Speed Range
Fore-Aft: -10.0 to +40 knots through-the-water
(2) Distance Run
0.00 to 999,999.99 nautical miles through-the-water
(3) Working Depth
Water depth greater than 3 m beneath the keel.
(4) Working Frequency
1.0 MHz
(5) Speed Accuracy
1.0% or 0.1 knots whichever is the greater
(6) Distance Accuracy
1.0% or 0.1 nm whichever is the greater
Note: Accuracy is subject to shallow water effects, to the effect of wind, current and tide, and
sensor location. Any ultrasonic equipment having the same frequency may interfere with
speed measurement. The Doppler Log transducer should be installed apart from the
transducers of such kind of equipment.
