3 frequencies, 6 depth ranges

The ELAC solid-state LAZ 51 meets the tough new IMCO and OTAK requirements. It features three frequencies (30, 50 or 200 KHz) and a 6-inch chart recorder with 6 selectable depth ranges. Add our DAZ 6 Digital Depth Indicator, and you have an easily read navigational sounder whose accuracy and reliability are unequalled.

True-bottom readouts

The DAZ 6 displays the LAZ 51 soundings as large four-digit continuous readouts which may be set to show fathoms, feet, meters, or decimeters.

Accuracy is ±0.5% or, with optional crystal control, ±0.01%. Unlike other digital units, the DAZ 6 automatically filters out unwanted echoes from fish, other sounders, etc. True-bottom readouts are assured without manual adjustments. The

DAZ 6 is also equipped with an automatic alarm which can sound at any preset depth. Its digital output can be used to run printers, card punchers, computers, and up to four slave repeaters.

Patented greyline recording

ELAC's patented greyline recording system makes the LAZ 51 very versatile. With it, objects close to the bottom are not lost in strong bottom echoes.

Moreover, while a hard bottom is clearly defined, the depth and solidity of any overlying sediments are shown by the depth and tone of the grey bottom zone.

The LAZ 51 is available with a wide choice of ceramic or magnetostrictive transducers.

Pulse power output is 450 watts at 30 and 50 KHz and 250 watts at 200 KHz.

Five models (each with 6 ranges recorded in fathoms, feet or meters) are available for maximum sounding depths from 60 to750 fathoms.
