⚓ Marine Equipment Specialist: Vexilar Acoustic Technology Authority.
Technical validation for the LPS-1 platform. This handheld sonar instrument is designed for instantaneous depth readings through water, ice, or solid hull surfaces without permanent installation.
The Vexilar LPS-1 is a highly accurate, handheld digital depth sounder engineered for ultimate portability. Unlike traditional fish finders, the LPS-1 is a self-contained unit that provides instant LCD depth readings at the push of a button. Utilizing a 200 kHz acoustic signal, it is capable of reading depths through the bottom of a boat hull or through clear ice. Its waterproof housing is designed to float, making it the premier choice for divers, coastal surveyors, canoeists, and ice fishermen who require rapid and reliable depth verification in a compact form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the LPS-1 read depth through ice?
Yes. To read through ice, the surface must be clear (black ice) and free of air bubbles. Simply apply a small amount of water or antifreeze to the ice surface to create an acoustic coupling between the transducer and the ice.
2. Does it display fish or just the bottom depth?
The LPS-1 is a digital depth sounder, not a graph. It provides a numerical reading of the distance to the nearest solid object (usually the bottom), making it ideal for navigation and depth mapping rather than fish tracking.
