Sonda de tauler plàstic Profunditat/Temperatura TM150M 300W

The Raymarine TM150M transducer (A80806) is a depth and water temperature sensor. It uses CHIRP mid-band technology and is designed to be mounted on the transom of your vessel.

The TM150M transducer is primarily designed to measure depth below the hull and water temperature. These data are essential for navigation and optimizing fishing strategies.

The Raymarine TM150M transducer has a power output of 300W. This power is suitable for coastal navigation and fishing at moderate depths.

The TM150M fishfinder uses CHIRP mid-band technology. This technology emits a pulse over a wide frequency band to improve target discrimination and underwater image clarity.

The TM150M transducer operates within a frequency range of 95 to 155 kHz. This is referred to as the CHIRP mid-band.

The CHIRP technology with mid-band offers several advantages:

Better target discrimination, allowing easier distinction between individual fish or schools of fish.

Enhanced clarity of underwater images.

Versatility for various fishing and navigation conditions, providing a good balance between signal penetration and resolution.

The TM150M transducer, with its 300W power and mid-frequency range (95-155 kHz), is optimized for coastal navigation and fishing at moderate depths. For very deep waters, CHIRP transducers with low frequency and higher power (e.g., 1kW) are generally more suitable.

The TM150M depth sounder housing is made of plastic. This makes it a lightweight and durable option for transom mounting.

No, the Raymarine TM150M transducer is a depth/temperature transducer only. It does not provide speed data.

A mid-band CHIRP transducer (such as the TM150M) emits a pulse over a wide frequency range (e.g., 95-155 kHz) and processes the echoes to produce a more detailed image. A fixed-frequency transducer transmits and receives on a single specific frequency (e.g., 50 kHz or 200 kHz), providing less detail and target discrimination compared to CHIRP.

Yes, the TM150M transducer is supplied with an integrated cable for connection to a compatible Raymarine multifunction display or a fishfinder module.

The TM150M transducer is recommended for mid-sized recreational vessels such as rigid inflatables, sport fishing boats, or small cruisers. Its transom-mount design and 300W power output make it ideal for coastal navigation and fishing in moderate depths where hull penetration is not desired or feasible.

The TM150M transducer is designed for installation on the transom of the vessel. It is mounted externally on the hull, at the stern of the boat.

Transom mounting is a popular option because:

It does not require drilling through the hull, simplifying installation.It is often easier to install than through-hull transducers.It allows adjustment of the transducer angle to optimize performance.

Yes, the TM150M transducer is a plastic transom-mount transducer, making it compatible with most hull types, including fiberglass, aluminum, or wood hulls. The key is to find a location on the transom that ensures laminar water flow for optimal performance.

The TM150M transducer installation requires common tools such as a drill, drill bits, a screwdriver, and marine sealant. It is recommended to carefully follow the instructions provided with the transducer for correct and secure installation.

Yes, for optimal performance, the depth sounder must be installed in an area where the water flow is as smooth as possible, away from turbulence generated by the propeller, keels, or other appendages. It should be placed slightly below the waterline and oriented correctly to ensure accurate readings.

The TM150M transducer is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD) featuring integrated CHIRP technology, such as the Axiom or Element series. It can also be used with a compatible Raymarine external CHIRP sounder module, like the CP100, if your MFD lacks an integrated CHIRP sounder.

No, the Raymarine TM150M transducer is specifically designed to be used with Raymarine fishfinder systems and multifunction displays. It is generally not compatible with devices from other manufacturers due to specific connectors and communication protocols.

This depends on your current Raymarine equipment. If your Raymarine multifunction display already has an integrated CHIRP depth sounder (as is the case for many Axiom or Element models), an additional depth sounder module is not necessary. If your MFD does not have this integrated feature, you will need an external compatible CHIRP depth sounder module (e.g., a Raymarine CP100) to use the TM150M transducer.
