Panoptix™ PS70 z sondą i blokiem karencji

The Garmin Panoptix PS70 is an advanced through-hull sonar designed to provide real-time sonar vision. It is part of Garmin's innovative Panoptix range, recognized for its live sonar capabilities.

The PS70-TH model stands out with its robust and permanent through-hull installation, optimized for deep integration into the boat's structure. It ensures superior hydrodynamic performance and stable readings even at high speeds, making it a premium solution for continuous and reliable sonar data acquisition.

The Panoptix PS70 transducer is compatible with several hull types:

Fiberglass hulls (with or without core).Metal hulls.

The Panoptix PS70 transducer can be installed with the supplied fairing block on a hull with a deadrise angle of up to 20 degrees. The fairing block is mandatory for these installations, as it aligns the transducer parallel to the waterline for optimal performance.

Deadrise angle is the measurement of the angle between a horizontal line and the outer hull at a given point.

Yes, to achieve the best possible performance and to avoid potential injuries, damage to the device or your boat, installation by a qualified marine installer is strongly recommended. You are responsible for the safe and prudent use of your vessel.

To prepare a fiberglass sandwich hull, follow these steps:

Select a mounting location free of irregularities or obstructions. Use the fairing block as a template to mark the locations of the stem hole and the anti-rotation bolt hole.Drill a 3 mm (1/8 in) pilot hole from the outside of the hull.Use a 42 mm (1 5/8 in) hole saw or wood bit to cut the stem hole through the outer skin, inner skin, and core.Remove the core material plug from the hole.Sand and clean the inner skin, core, and outer skin around the hole.Test the transducer fit and verify the marked location of the anti-rotation bolt hole.Use an 18 mm (11/16 in) drill bit to bore the anti-rotation bolt hole.Sand and clean the area around the holes.Seal the exposed inner core with marine-grade fiberglass epoxy resin and allow it to cure before securing the transducer. It is critical to thoroughly seal the core to prevent water intrusion.A dedicated anti-rotation bolt must be used to prevent transducer movement while sailing.

Yes, it is mandatory to update the software of your Garmin chartplotter when installing this device. For software update instructions, please refer to the user manual of your chartplotter on support.garmin.com.
