Detailed description

The Raymarine RVM-400 through-hull transducer provides a RealVision 3D sonar imaging solution for compatible navigation systems. Designed for a 0° through-hull installation, this stainless steel transducer integrates DownVision, SideVision, RealVision 3D, and high-frequency CHIRP sonar technologies, delivering detailed underwater views. It connects directly to AXIOM2 multifunction displays and RVM1600 sounder modules, simplifying integration into the Raymarine network.

Integrated Sonar Technologies

The RVM-400 combines multiple sonar technologies for complete seabed and water column coverage. DownVision and SideVision capabilities enable lateral and vertical detection of structures and fish, while RealVision 3D technology provides a three-dimensional representation of the underwater world. The high-frequency CHIRP sonar ensures improved target discrimination and image clarity compared to fixed-frequency sonars. This transducer is a key component of the RVM-400 series, which also includes RVM-412 and RVM-420 models, distinguished by their compensation angles for different hull inclines.

Integration and Installation

The RVM-400 is specifically designed for direct connection to AXIOM2 displays and RVM1600 sounder modules, eliminating the need for additional adapters and ensuring optimal compatibility. The supplied 8-meter cable facilitates positioning on most vessels. The stainless steel through-hull installation ensures secure mounting and durability in marine environments. For installations requiring longer cable lengths, RealVision extension cables are available, allowing maximum connectivity distances.

« Technical analysis of the Raymarine RVM-400 RealVision 3D through-hull transducer »

The Raymarine RVM-400 through-hull transducer is a technical solution for recreational boaters and anglers equipped with an AXIOM2 system or RVM1600 module. Its main advantage lies in its direct integration, which minimizes potential failure points and simplifies wiring. Unlike solutions with external adapter boxes, this direct connection ensures RealVision 3D data transmission without latency, essential for real-time detection of structures and fish schools.

The choice of a 0° stainless steel through-hull transducer is relevant for hulls with low deadrise angles. For boats with a more pronounced deadrise angle, the RVM-412 (12°) or RVM-420 (20°) models from the same series would be better suited to optimize beam quality and avoid air bubbles. The integrated engineering of the RVM-400 allows precise AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) calibration, ensuring stable 3D imaging even in rough seas. This is a significant advantage for users seeking constant and reliable visualization.

Installation requires precise hull drilling, but electrical connection is simplified thanks to the direct connector. It is crucial to follow placement guidelines to avoid interference and ensure optimal sonar performance. This transducer is particularly recommended for mid-sized boats seeking a high-performance sonar imaging solution without the complexity of a modular system with additional interface boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Which sonar technologies are integrated in the Raymarine RVM-400 transducer?

The Raymarine RVM-400 transducer integrates several advanced sonar technologies for comprehensive underwater vision:

DownVision: For a detailed view of the seabed directly beneath the boat.SideVision: For scanning lateral areas and detecting structures and fish to the sides.RealVision 3D: Provides a three-dimensional representation of the underwater world.High-frequency CHIRP sonar: Enhances target discrimination and image clarity.

What material is the RVM-400 transducer made of and what is its compensation angle?

The Raymarine RVM-400 transducer is made of stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance in a marine environment. It is designed for through-hull installation with a 0° compensation angle. This means it is ideal for hulls with a deadrise angle of 0° at the installation location.

What is the length of the cable supplied with the Raymarine RVM-400 transducer?

The Raymarine RVM-400 transducer is supplied with an integrated 8-metre (26.2-foot) cable. This length is designed to facilitate the positioning of the transducer on most vessels.

Which Raymarine multifunction displays directly integrate compatibility with the RVM-400 transducer?

The Raymarine RVM-400 transducer is designed for direct connection to Raymarine AXIOM2 multifunction displays. These displays integrate RealVision technology, which processes the transducer data without requiring an additional module.

Can the RVM-400 transducer be used with other Raymarine multifunction displays besides the AXIOM2?

Yes, the RVM-400 transducer is compatible with other Raymarine multifunction displays in the Axiom series, including the Axiom 2 Pro, Axiom 2 XL, Axiom Pro, Axiom XL, and Axiom MFDs. For these models, the transducer must be connected to an RVM1600 sounder module.

What is the recommended installation type for the RVM-400 transducer?

The Raymarine RVM-400 transducer is a thru-hull type. This means it is installed by drilling a hole through the boat's hull, allowing the transducer element to be directly exposed to the water beneath the hull for optimal performance.

Is antifouling required for the RVM-400 transducer?

Yes, it is recommended to apply antifouling to the RVM-400 transducer to prevent marine growth buildup. It is important to use a water-based antifouling specifically formulated for transducers to avoid affecting the sounder’s performance. Avoid metal-based antifoulings that could interfere with the sonar signal.
