StructureScan 3D standalone transducer

The Navico StructureScan 3D transducer is designed to generate three-dimensional views of the seabed and underwater structures. It provides high-resolution images of the underwater terrain and areas where fish hide, using SideScan and DownScan technologies.

The StructureScan 3D transducer uses two main frequencies:

455 kHz: Provides greater range and increased maximum depth. 800 kHz: Delivers superior image definition but with reduced maximum range and depth.

The maximum depth that the StructureScan 3D fishfinder can reach depends on the frequency used:

At 455 kHz, the maximum depth is 300 feet (approximately 91 meters). At 800 kHz, the maximum depth is 100 feet (approximately 30 meters).

The maximum side-scanning range of the SideScan varies by frequency:

At 455 kHz, the side-scanning range reaches 500 feet (approximately 152 meters), i.e., 250 feet (approximately 76 meters) on each side of the boat. At 800 kHz, the side-scanning range is 300 feet (approximately 91 meters), i.e., 150 feet (approximately 45 meters) on each side of the boat.

The StructureScan 3D transducer offers a target separation of 1.5 inches (38.1 mm), enabling precise distinction of underwater objects.

The StructureScan 3D transducer cable has a length of 6 meters (20 feet).

The StructureScan 3D transducer operates with a transmit power of 500W RMS and a peak power of 4000W.

The StructureScan 3D transducer requires a 12V DC power supply. The accepted input voltage range is 10V to 17V DC. Maximum current draw is 0.75A, typical at 0.60A, with a 4.7A peak inrush current.

A 3A fast-acting external fuse (automotive blade type) is recommended to protect the transducer's power supply.

The weight of the transducer alone is approximately 1.9 lbs (about 0.86 kg). With its mounting bracket, the total weight is approximately 2.55 lbs (about 1.16 kg).

Yes, this StructureScan 3D transducer is an essential accessory compatible with Lowrance systems, as well as other Navico brands such as Simrad and B&G.

No, this transducer does not work alone. It requires a StructureScan 3D module (sold separately) to process the data and display it on a compatible screen.

The StructureScan 3D system, using this transducer, primarily offers two powerful sonar views:

SideScan: Allows visualization of objects and structures to the sides of the boat. DownScan: Provides a more detailed view directly beneath the boat. These views are combined to create a comprehensive 3D underwater panorama.

Several mounting options are available for the StructureScan 3D transducer:

Transom mount: Allows tracking the bottom at high speed.Jackplate mount: Protects the transducer and reduces drag.Step mount: Protects the transducer and reduces drag.Direct/step mount: Protects the transducer and reduces drag.Trolling motor mount: Sold separately, allows scanning while moving the motor.

For installing the transducer, you will need the following tools and supplies (not included):

DrillBits (specific sizes depending on mounting type)Phillips screwdriverMarine-grade sealant (for above or below the waterline)

The mounting kit included with the depth sounder contains the following items:

Transducer mounting screws for transom (2)Support assembly bolts (2)Support assembly washers (4)Support assembly nuts (2)Transducer mounting screws (6)Transducer mounting locknuts (6)LSS-1 mounting screws (4) (for the module, not the depth sounder)Closed-end crimp connector (1)Clamp collars (2)

The StructureScan 3D transducer communicates with the main unit (via the StructureScan 3D module) over an Ethernet connection. The system supports up to 3 shared devices.

The maximum boat speed for optimal StructureScan 3D sonar performance is 10 mph (about 16 km/h) or less to achieve the best images. The maximum speed for marking objects is 35 mph (about 56 km/h).

Yes, if you connect the yellow wire directly to the battery, you must absolutely disconnect the battery when your boat is not in use. Otherwise, the StructureScan system will continue to consume power and drain the battery.

Yes, with the StructureScan system, you can save waypoints by moving the cursor to the desired position on the screen and pressing the Enter or Wpt button, whether on the StructureScan or Sonar pages.
