GT34UHD-THP dýptarmælir – UHD ClearVü gegnumborinn pör

The Garmin GT34UHD-THP is a pair of through-hull ultra high-definition transducers designed for recreational boaters and anglers. It delivers ClearVü and SideVü images with exceptional clarity, enabling detailed detection of underwater structures and fish.

The main difference lies in its Ultra High-Definition (UHD) technology, which optimizes image resolution. This delivers superior clarity and detail for structures and fish, particularly when compared to Garmin’s standard ClearVü and SideVü versions.

In Ultra High-Definition ClearVü mode, the Garmin GT34UHD-THP operates at 0.8 MHz (800 kHz) with a CHIRP range of 760–880 kHz.

The transducer can reach a maximum depth of 200 feet (approximately 61 meters) in Ultra High-Definition ClearVü mode.

For the SideVü mode, the transducer operates at a frequency of 1.2 MHz (1200 kHz) with a CHIRP range of 1060-1170 kHz.

The SideVü mode provides a lateral range of 125 feet (approximately 38 meters) on each side, for a total of 250 feet (approximately 76 meters), down to a depth of 30 feet (approximately 9 meters).

This pair of transducers has a transmit power of 500 watts.

The Garmin GT34UHD-THP is equipped with a 12-pin connector for connection to your compatible Garmin device.

The Garmin GT34UHD-THP is a pair of thru-hull transducers (THP), meaning they are installed through a hole drilled in the boat's hull.

Basic tools include a drill, wrenches, marine sealant (flexible, fast-curing, for below the waterline), sandpaper, masking tape, and waterproof electrical tape. Specific drill bits and hole saws are also required depending on the hull material (fiberglass or metal).

A fairing block is required if the deadrise angle at the mounting location exceeds 5 degrees. It ensures the transducer is positioned parallel to the waterline for improved sonar accuracy.

For optimal performance, the depth sounder must be mounted away from the propeller and its wash, strakes, ribs, water intakes or outlets, and any other source of turbulence or interference (electromagnetic or acoustic). It must be in direct contact with undisturbed water.

Yes, it is necessary to update the software on your Garmin chartplotter when installing the GT34UHD-THP to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.

To reduce EMI, ensure proper grounding of your sonar device and other equipment. Keep the depth sounder cable away from other power cables. If the depth sounder cable must cross a power cable, orient them at 90 degrees. Installing a ferrite choke on the transducer cable can also help.

Yes, Garmin through-hull transducers, including the GT34UHD-THP, are designed to work with all hull materials, including fiberglass (with or without core) and metal. Specific hull preparation procedures apply for each material.

The GT34UHD-THP is compatible with Garmin chartplotters and fishfinders that support Ultra High-Definition ClearVü and SideVü technology. It is recommended to verify specific compatibility with your Garmin device model on the manufacturer’s website or in your device’s manual.

Yes, it is possible to apply water-based antifouling paint to the transducer, but it is not mandatory. If you choose to apply it, ensure it is suitable for transducers and does not obstruct the active faces of the transducer.
