Smart plastic TA transducer 150W (160kHz) + temperature - (NMEA 2000)

This Garmin smart transducer is designed to provide essential depth and water temperature data. It transmits this information directly to an existing NMEA 2000 network.

This transducer operates at a frequency of 160 kHz. Its power output is 150 W RMS (Root Mean Square), with a peak-to-peak power of 1200 W.

The depth sounder can reach a maximum depth of 275 metres (900 feet). It is important to note that the depth capability depends on water salinity, seabed type and other aquatic conditions.

The transducer is designed to operate within a temperature range of -15°C to 33°C (5°F to 91°F).

The transducer dimensions are 66 mm wide, 70.4 mm high and 113.2 mm deep. Its weight is approximately 624 grams (22 oz).

Yes, this transducer is waterproof and compliant with IEC 60529 IPX7. This means it can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.

This transducer uses NMEA 2000 connectivity. It comes with a built-in 6-meter cable and an NMEA 2000 T-connector for easy integration into an existing NMEA 2000 network.

The transducer is powered by the NMEA 2000 network, requiring an input voltage of 9 to 16 Vdc. Its maximum power consumption is 2 W and its LEN (Load Equivalency Number) is 4.

Yes, if you use this transducer with an existing Garmin chartplotter, it is recommended to update your chartplotter’s software to the latest version to ensure optimal compatibility with the transducer.

This transducer is specifically designed for transom mounting.

For installing the transducer, you will need the following tools:

A drill and drill bitsA 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) wrench or socketMasking tapeA #2 Phillips screwdriverMarine sealant

For optimal performance, the transducer must be installed in a calm water area, as close as possible to the center of the boat. It is important to avoid locations where it could be shaken, the propeller path (to prevent cavitation), or behind elements that create air bubbles or water turbulence.

The transducer must be installed so that it extends approximately 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) below a fiberglass hull, or approximately 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) below an aluminum hull. It must also be aligned parallel to the waterline and remain below the waterline when the boat is at high speed.

The transducer comes with an integrated NMEA 2000 drop cable and a NMEA 2000 T-connector. To connect it, you must locate a suitable spot on your existing NMEA 2000 backbone, insert the supplied T-connector, then connect the transducer’s drop cable to it.

Yes, it is imperative to apply marine sealant to all the threads of the screws used to secure the transducer bracket to the transom. This step is crucial to prevent any water infiltration into the transom of your boat.

The transducer is equipped with an integrated NMEA 2000 cable 6 metres (19 feet 8 inches) long.
