Daniamant EchoPilot FLS 3D Forward-Looking Sonar shows stunning 3D images on third-party displays, detecting underwater hazards up to 200 m ahead for safe navigation. Read more.
The EchoPilot FLS 3D Forward-Looking Sonar is a leap forward in underwater situational awareness. Unlike traditional depth sounders that merely report the depth beneath your hull, the FLS 3D generates a fully immersive, three-dimensional view of the seabed and any potential hazards up to 200 m ahead. With its high-resolution imaging, you’ll see underwater structures like reefs, wrecks, and shoals in lifelike clarity, giving you the confidence to plot a secure course through uncharted or challenging waters.
At the heart of the FLS 3D is its patented Average Forward Depth technology. Rather than a single-point depth reading, it continuously calculates the mean depth across its entire forward swath, smoothing out local anomalies and providing a more reliable measure of what lies ahead. This, combined with the sonar’s 20 × depth-to-range ratio, means you can detect hazards at a distance much greater than most forward-looking systems allow.
Designed for simplicity, the FLS 3D is a self-contained “plug & play” sonar engine. Power it from your vessel’s 12 V or 24 V DC system, then connect the integrated visual processor to any third-party chartplotter via HDMI or VGA. Within seconds, your display will come alive with real-time 3D imagery, no proprietary software or hidden adapters required.
For seamless integration with your existing navigation suite, the FLS 3D is fully compatible with the latest Furuno chartplotters, Nottorp screens, and Hatteland displays.
Explore our categories below to find compatible Third-Party displays from Furuno, Nottrot, and Hatteland:
Note: Although the FLS 3D integrates directly with Raymarine Axiom displays (via RJ45 “Raynet” cable), the variants listed here are solely for use with third-party screens.
60° Horizontal Field of View:
Sweeps a wide half-circle ahead of your bow, revealing hazards well off your centerline before they become threats.
Average Forward Digital Depth Reading:
Samples hundreds of sonar returns across the forward swath and computes a smooth, representative depth, filtering out spikes from thermoclines, fish, or soft sediment.
200 m Forward & 100 m Depth Range:
Powerful 200 kHz beam-forming lets you peer 200 m ahead while still detecting down to 100 m beneath your keel.
20 × Depth-to-Range Ratio:
See 200 m forward in 10 m of water—or 100 m ahead in only 5 m depth—unmatched performance for shallow-water navigation.
Universal Video Output – HDMI & VGA:
Standard video ports mean plug-and-play compatibility with virtually any chartplotter, monitor, or multifunction display, no proprietary dongles or adapters.
Rapid Update Rate (1–1½ s):
Full-scene refresh every second keeps you aware of moving or newly appearing obstacles in real time.
High Angular Accuracy (~1.5°):
Precise beam control ensures finely detailed 3D imagery, critical for spotting small or narrow features.
Low Power Footprint (~20 W):
Runs off 12 V/24 V DC at ~400 mA standby and ~1 200 mA active—ideal for vessels with limited electrical capacity.
Windows-Based Embedded Processor:
Delivers a familiar, stable software environment with room for future firmware upgrades and feature enhancements.
Simple, Self-Contained Installation:
All sonar electronics, processor, keypad, and cabling come in a single kit—just mount, connect power and video, and you’re scanning.
