Sonda sonaru a teploty SS60 skloněná o 20° (připojení CP370)

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 is a through-hull transducer that combines two essential functions: it measures water depth (depth sounder) and water temperature. It is designed to provide accurate data for navigation and underwater detection.

This transducer is tilted at 20 degrees. This angle is critical because it compensates for the deadrise angle of deep-V hulls. As a result, the depth sounder’s beam is oriented vertically toward the seabed, ensuring accurate and reliable readings even when the boat is underway.

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 transducer is specifically designed to be connected and operate with the Raymarine CP370 digital sounder module.

This transducer requires a through-hull installation, meaning it is mounted through the boat's hull. This type of installation provides superior hydrodynamic performance and reduces turbulence compared to transom-mount transducers.

A through-hull installation offers several advantages:

Hydrodynamic performance: It minimizes drag and turbulence, which is crucial for accurate readings at all speeds.Increased precision: The transducer is in direct contact with water, without interference from the hull or air.Reliability: Less prone to damage than transom-mounted transducers in certain conditions.

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 transducer operates on two frequencies: 50 kHz and 200 kHz. Using these two frequencies provides versatility for different depths and resolutions.

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 fishfinder has an RMS power output of 600 Watts. This power is suitable for moderate depths and provides good target detection.

No, this transducer cannot be connected directly to an Axiom or Element display. It requires the Raymarine CP370 digital sounder module to process the data before displaying it on a compatible screen.

The SS60 A80570 transducer offers the following beam angles:

At 50 kHz: a beam angle of 45 degrees, ideal for wider coverage and fish detection in a deeper water column. At 200 kHz: a beam angle of 12 degrees, providing higher resolution and accuracy for bottom detail and smaller targets.

No, installing this transducer does not require an additional fairing block. Its built-in 20-degree tiltable element compensates directly for the deadrise angle of deep-V hulls, simplifying installation.

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 transducer is typically supplied with a 10-metre (approximately 33-foot) cable to allow flexible installation on most vessels.

Yes, with its operating frequencies of 50/200 kHz and its ability to provide accurate depth readings, the SS60 A80570 fishfinder is well suited for detecting underwater structures, fish schools, and bottom topography.

No, the SS60 A80570 transducer is a traditional dual-frequency (50/200 kHz) transducer. It is not a CHIRP wideband transducer, which uses a continuous range of frequencies.

No, this transducer is specifically designed with a connector and optimized electrical compatibility for the Raymarine CP370 digital sounder module. It is not compatible with systems from other brands without a specific adapter, which is not included.

The main advantage is simplified installation and optimized performance. A transducer with built-in tilt correction, such as the SS60 at 20°, ensures the depth sounder's beam is always directed vertically toward the seabed, even on a V-hull. This eliminates the need for external compensation wedges, which can be complex to install and less hydrodynamic.

The 20° tilt angle of the transducer element has no significant impact on the accuracy of the temperature reading. The temperature sensor is built into the depth sounder and reliably measures the surrounding water temperature, regardless of the sonar beam orientation.

The SS60 A80570 transducer, with its 50 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies and 600W power, is versatile. The 200 kHz frequency excels in shallower waters with high resolution, while the 50 kHz frequency is more effective for deeper water detection, though it is not designed for extreme deep-sea depths.
