Bruce,

Per the glossary on ubootwaffe.net [www.ubootwaffe.net]

S-Gerät

German:
Sondergerät: Aktives Unterwasserschall-Ortungsgerät der dt. Kriegsmarine zur Entfernungs- und Richtungsbestimmung von Unterwasserzielen

English:
Echo-ranging equipment of the German Navy

Also, a quick google search resulted in a hit from here: [www.uboataces.com]

Which states:
"Sondergerat Fur Aktive Schallortung (S-Gerat)

The S-Gerat (Special Apparatus for Active Sound Location) was essentially sonar. It transmitted sound pulses and timed the returning echo to detect underwater objects. Because it emitted sound pulses which also broadcasted the U-boat’s location, this device was not very popular. It could detect objects up to 4,000 meters away. "

Hope that works for you,

Eric
