AIRMAR® CM599LHW

The GARMIN AIRMAR® CM599LHW is a CHIRP through-hull dual-frequency wide-beam transducer designed for deep and shallow water fishing. It is optimized to provide extended underwater coverage and precise target separation.

This transducer is suitable for vessels with an overall length of 8 meters and above, thanks to its optimized performance for deep-sea fishing and deep-water operations.

The CM599LHW integrates CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) technology across two frequency bands. This technology delivers superior resolution and clarity of underwater images compared to fixed-frequency transducers.

A CHIRP dual-frequency wide-beam transducer offers several advantages:

Extended coverage: The wide beam scans a larger area beneath the boat. Target separation: CHIRP technology improves the distinction between individual fish and schools of fish. Performance in deep and shallow water: The two frequency bands optimize detection across varying depths.

Yes, the CM599LHW transducer is designed for the demands of deep and shallow water fishing, making it perfectly suited to marine environments and saltwater fishing.

A through-hull transducer is a type of transducer installed by drilling through the boat's hull. The transducer element is directly exposed to water, ensuring optimal performance without hull interference, ideal for accurate readings at high speeds and in deep waters.

The CM599LHW transducer is compatible with Garmin fishfinders and displays that support CHIRP dual-frequency wide-beam technology. It is recommended to verify the specific compatibility of your Garmin display model.

The CM599LHW is specifically designed for Garmin systems. While adapters may exist for other brands, use with non-Garmin equipment may not guarantee optimal performance or full exploitation of all CHIRP features.

Installing a through-hull transducer requires drilling the boat's hull and demands careful attention to ensure waterproofing and proper alignment. It is often recommended to hire a marine installation professional to guarantee a correct and secure installation.

For optimal performance, the installation location must be carefully chosen:

It must be free of turbulence and air bubbles. It must be kept away from propellers, keels, and other sources of interference. The transducer element must remain constantly submerged, even at high speed. The area must be easily accessible for installation and maintenance.

During installation, it is crucial to ensure a perfect watertight seal. High-quality marine sealants must be used, the manufacturer's instructions for sealant application and fastener tightening must be strictly followed, and leaks must be checked before relaunching the boat.

Garmin products, including the AIRMAR® CM599LHW transducer, are covered by a limited warranty that typically covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper installation, accident, misuse, or unauthorized modifications.

The CM599LHW transducer is securely packaged in its original packaging. This packaging is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment during transport and ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

Yes, once your order has shipped, you will receive detailed tracking information. This will allow you to monitor the progress of your package until it reaches its final destination.

The CM599LHW is a transducer manufactured by Airmar, a leader in transducer technology, and sold under the Garmin brand. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Garmin marine electronics systems.

Yes, the submerged face of the transducer can be painted with water-based antifouling paint specifically designed for transducers. It is important to avoid solvent-based paints or those containing ketones, as they could damage the transducer surface and impair its performance.

The CM599LHW transducer is designed to work with Garmin CHIRP-compatible sounder combos or modules. Some Garmin units already include a built-in CHIRP sounder module, while others require an external sounder module (such as a GSD 25) to fully utilize this transducer’s capabilities.
