The control unit features easy to read LCD display, audio alarm, and variable sensitivity switch (for pinpointing targets). An optional built-in printer is available which gives hard copy of mag readouts and Loran or GPS position. Options include 300 foot tow cable, UA-2 altimeter, RS232 data output, data collection and storage software, 500 and 1000' depth rated versions. The system is powered by a 12 volt battery with a total power consumption of only 40 watts.
