Element 12 HV - 12" GPS display with Wi-Fi, CHIRP fishfinder and HyperVision, HV-100+ transducer, no mapping

The HyperVision sonar technology, integrated into the Raymarine Element 12 HV, uses very high frequencies (1.2 MHz). This delivers underwater imaging with exceptional resolution, providing detailed views of structures and fish. It is particularly effective for DownVision and SideVision views down to a depth of about 30 meters. Beyond this depth, the traditional CHIRP sonar takes over for effective detection in deeper waters.

No, the Raymarine Element 12 HV is supplied without preloaded charts. For navigation, you will need to purchase compatible marine charts separately. It is compatible with Navionics or C-MAP charts, which you can install as required.

The Raymarine Element 12 HV differs from touchscreen models like the Axiom series with its simplified user interface based on button controls. This design prioritizes intuitive and direct operation, particularly suited for users seeking a robust, dedicated solution for high-resolution underwater detection without a touchscreen.

The integrated Wi-Fi connectivity of the Element 12 HV enables several essential functions:

Software updates for the device can be performed easily. It allows integration with mobile applications, providing flexibility for route planning or displaying screen data on other compatible devices.

The HyperVision technology provides high-resolution underwater imaging, particularly for DownVision and SideVision views, down to a depth of approximately 30 meters. For deeper waters, the standard CHIRP fishfinder takes over to ensure continuous and effective detection of seabeds and fish.

The Element 12 HV comes with the HV-100+ transducer. This is a transducer designed for transom mount installation on your vessel, enabling full utilization of the CHIRP and HyperVision depth sounder advanced features.

When applying antifouling to the HV-100+ transducer, it is imperative to follow these recommendations:

Use only water-based antifouling paint.NEVER use antifouling paint based on ketone or copper, as this could damage the transducer and void the product warranty.Make sure to clean the transducer according to the instructions before any new antifouling application.

To ensure the Element 12 HV mounting template prints at the correct scale, follow these steps using Adobe Acrobat Reader:

Open the mounting template document in Acrobat Reader.Select File → Properties and note the page format.Select File → Print.In the print dialog, select Properties and ensure the paper format matches the dimensions noted in step 2.Return to the print dialog and ensure the "Size Options" and "Scaling" options (if available) are set to "Actual Size" or "None".Check that the "Auto-rotate and Center Pages" or "Auto Portrait/Landscape" option (as applicable) is NOT selected.Select the appropriate orientation (portrait or landscape) to match the template orientation.
