Sonda GT52HW-TM - zadní panel CHIRP/ClearVü/SideVü

The Garmin GT52HW-TM transducer integrates three main sonar technologies:

Traditional high- and wide-band CHIRP sonar. CHIRP ClearVü sonar for detailed imaging of structures beneath the boat. CHIRP SideVü sonar for a side view of structures and fish.

The traditional CHIRP sonar of the GT52HW-TM depth sounder operates over a high and wide frequency range from 150 to 240 kHz.

The transmission power of the traditional CHIRP sonar is 250 W.

The ClearVü and SideVü sonars operate at frequencies of 455 kHz (range 425–485 kHz) and 800 kHz (range 790–850 kHz).

Each technology, ClearVü and SideVü, has a transmission power of 350 W.

Traditional CHIRP sonar can detect targets down to a maximum depth of 244 meters (800 feet).

The ClearVü and SideVü sonars can provide detailed imaging down to a depth of 152 meters (500 feet).

Yes, the Garmin GT52HW-TM transducer is primarily designed for freshwater anglers.

The transducer is fitted with a 12-pin connector.

The transducer is made of plastic, suitable for mounting on the transom or electric motor.

The transducer is compatible with Garmin displays (chartplotters or fishfinders) that have a 12-pin connector and support CHIRP traditional, ClearVü, and SideVü sonar technologies.

The transducer can be installed in two main ways: on the boat's transom or on an electric motor.

For optimal operation, the transducer must be mounted:

Parallel to the waterline.At least 38 cm (15 inches) from the propeller.Away from turbulence (strakes, water intakes, etc.).On the starboard side if the propeller rotates clockwise, or port if it rotates counterclockwise.

The depth sounder transducer cable must be routed away from ignition wires, batteries, electric motor cables, and high-energy wires (radar, audio amplifier, autopilot pump) to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to use the mounting template provided in the product box to ensure accurate drilling and avoid incorrect cuts.

No, it is essential not to cut the transducer cable, as this would void the product warranty.

The transducer is mounted to the electric motor housing using hose clamps inserted into the slots of the bracket. The cable must be routed inside the bracket and secured with waterproof tape along the motor shaft.

If the transducer produces excessive spray, it is recommended to recheck mounting considerations and adjust its position and depth to eliminate this phenomenon.

Yes, it is necessary to update the Garmin display (chartplotter) software once the transducer is installed to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
