The whole CEESCOPE, in an even smaller footprint
CEESCOPE LITE™
Single Beam Echo Sounder with Built-in GNSS
The CEESCOPE LITE™ puts the CEESCOPE’s echo sounder, RTK GNSS receiver and data logger in a slim 9.2 cm IP67 enclosure, built for USVs, remote-controlled boats and dedicated survey vessels where space is tight. Every connection is on one end panel, and two LAN ports can power PoE devices. Depth at 30 Hz and position at up to 20 Hz are logged and output, every packet time-stamped by 1PPS.

USVs & remote-controlled boats
A slim enclosure and one end panel make for a tidy install, with PoE for a camera or a radio link to shore.
Dredging & sedimentation
Dual frequency separates the hard bottom from soft or redeposited material, with the full echogram logged for quality control.
Rivers & shallow water
Auto Shallow mode and multi-constellation GNSS hold the bottom and the fix in 0.15 m of water or under tree canopy.
Ports, harbours & construction
RTK bathymetry that drops straight into land-survey datasets from the same base station.
Dedicated survey launches
Install once on vessel power and survey every day, with internal logging and an IP67 enclosure.
Navigation & charting
Map uncharted waterways with survey-grade soundings, 1PPS time-stamped to precise GNSS position.

Why surveyors choose CEESCOPE LITE™
Echo sounder, GNSS receiver, data logger and battery — in a compact enclosure made for permanent and remote-controlled installs.
01 / Why the echogram
See exceptional detail in high definition
The complete sonar echo return from each ping is digitized into 3200 separate values, not just a single depth. Heavy bottom vegetation, debris and sediment can be identified on the echogram and separated from the true bottom.

All receivers are L-Band enabled. Position output is activated at 20 Hz (10 Hz on the BD9250). Ask us if you need a higher rate. RTK corrections come from a network (NTRIP) through the Ethernet port, or a local base over the optional internal UHF receiver (403 – 473 MHz).

Dual frequency (200 / 22–36 kHz) gives greater penetration through loose sediment, sludge and silt. Transducers mount on 50 mm / 2″ tubes or 5/8″ thread survey poles.
