Moduł sondujący GSD™ 24

The Garmin GSD™ 24 Advanced Sonar Module is a "black box" fishfinder designed to enhance the underwater detection capabilities of compatible Garmin multifunction displays. It integrates into the Garmin marine network to deliver superior detection performance for deep-sea fishing and navigation requiring precise seabed knowledge.

The GSD™ 24 delivers robust output power, adjustable from 25 to 2,000 W RMS, depending on the connected transducer. It can reach maximum depths of 1,512 meters (5,000 feet).

The Garmin GSD™ 24 operates on the traditional frequencies of 50/200 kHz.

No, the Garmin GSD™ 24 is a traditional fishfinder module that operates on 50/200 kHz frequencies. It is not compatible with CHIRP, Garmin ClearVü™, or Garmin SideVü™ technologies.

Yes, the Garmin GSD™ 24 housing is fully waterproof, made of aluminum and steel, and compliant with IEC 60529 IPX7. This means it can withstand accidental immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

The Garmin GSD™ 24 is designed to operate within a temperature range from -15°C to 70°C (5°F to 158°F).

The Garmin GSD™ 24 module requires a 10 to 35 V DC power supply. It consumes a maximum of 40 W and must be protected by a 7.5 A fuse.

For installing the GSD™ 24, you will need the following tools:

A drillA 5 mm (no. 8) drill bit for the mounting surfaceA 32 mm (1 1/4 in.) flat drill bit or hole saw for the mounting surface (if required for cable gland)A Phillips screwdriver size #2A 3 mm flathead screwdriverCable ties (optional)Wire cuttersWire strippersMarine sealant (optional)

When choosing the mounting location, ensure that the GSD™ 24:

Is not submerged.Provides adequate ventilation and is not exposed to extreme temperatures.Is mounted so that its LEDs are visible.Allows easy connection of power, network, and transducer cables.

The GSD™ 24 connects to the Garmin marine network via an ethernet cable. If your boat is equipped with a GMS 10 network port expander, connect the ethernet cable to an available port on the GMS 10. Otherwise, connect the ethernet cable directly to the ethernet port of your compatible Garmin chartplotter.

Connect the stripped end of the GSD™ 24 power cable to a 12 Vdc power source and ground. Ensure the inline fuse holder is not removed and the correct 7.5 A fuse is installed. Align the power cable notch with the device’s power port and insert the cable, then tighten the locking ring.

To update the GSD™ 24 software, you must copy the software update to a memory card. Insert the memory card into the card reader of your compatible Garmin chartplotter after it has fully started up. Then follow the on-screen instructions. Once the update is complete, remove the memory card.

No, it is strongly advised against printing a mounting template yourself. It is recommended to use the template provided in the product box. If you must print a template, it is crucial to follow precise instructions regarding paper size and printer settings to avoid incorrect cutting on your boat's mounting surface.

It is recommended to mount the Garmin GSD™ 24 at a minimum distance of 40 cm (15.75 in.) from a magnetic compass to avoid any interference.

The Garmin GSD™ 24 is compatible with Garmin multifunction displays and chartplotters equipped with a Garmin Marine Network port (Ethernet). Exact compatibility may depend on the specific chartplotter model and its software updates.

The GSD™ 24 is designed to work with traditional Garmin or Airmar transducers (50/200 kHz). The output power (25 to 2000 W RMS) will depend on the specific transducer connected.

Yes, if your transducer is a non-differential 6-pin model (Garmin or Airmar), you will need an 8-pin transducer adapter box to connect it to the GSD™ 24. Differential 8-pin Garmin transducers connect directly to the 8-pin sounder module port.

Yes, if you use the 8-pin transducer adapter housing for a non-differential transducer, it is possible to connect a separate temperature sensor or a water speed paddlewheel sensor via the nuts provided on the adapter housing. Specific connections are available on the adapter's internal terminal block.
