Sonda echosondy i temperatury SS60 nachylona pod kątem 20° (podłączenie CP370)

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 transducer combines two essential functions: it measures water depth (depth sounder) and water temperature. It is designed to provide accurate data for navigation and underwater detection.

This transducer is tilted at 20 degrees. This angle is critical because it compensates for the deadrise angle of deep-V hulls. Thus, the depth sounder's beam is directed vertically toward the seabed, ensuring accurate and reliable readings even when the boat is underway.

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 transducer is specifically designed to be connected and operate with the Raymarine CP370 digital sounder module.

This transducer requires a through-hull installation, meaning it is mounted through the boat's hull. This type of installation provides superior hydrodynamic performance and reduces turbulence compared to transom-mount transducers.

A through-hull installation offers several advantages:

Hydrodynamic performance: It minimizes drag and turbulence, which is crucial for accurate readings at all speeds.Increased accuracy: The transducer is in direct contact with the water, without interference from the hull or air.Reliability: Less prone to damage than transom-mount transducers in certain conditions.

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 transducer operates on two frequencies: 50 kHz and 200 kHz. Using both frequencies provides versatility for different depths and resolutions.

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 transducer has an RMS power output of 600 Watts. This power is suitable for moderate depths and provides good target detection.

No, this transducer cannot be directly connected to an Axiom or Element display. It requires the Raymarine CP370 digital sounder module to process data before displaying it on a compatible screen.

The SS60 A80570 transducer offers the following beam angles:

At 50 kHz: a beam angle of 45 degrees, ideal for wider coverage and fish detection in a larger water column. At 200 kHz: a beam angle of 12 degrees, providing better resolution and accuracy for detecting bottom details and smaller targets.

No, installing this transducer does not require an additional fairing block. With its built-in 20-degree tilt element, it is designed to directly compensate for the deadrise angle of deep-V hulls, simplifying the installation process.

The Raymarine SS60 A80570 transducer is typically supplied with a 10-metre (approximately 33-foot) cable to allow flexible installation on most vessels.

Yes, thanks to its operating frequencies of 50/200 kHz and its ability to provide accurate depth readings, the SS60 A80570 fishfinder is perfectly suited for detecting underwater structures, fish shoals, and bottom topography.

No, the SS60 A80570 transducer is a traditional dual-frequency transducer (50/200 kHz). It is not a CHIRP wideband transducer, which uses a continuous range of frequencies.

No, this transducer is specifically designed with a connector and optimized electrical compatibility for the Raymarine CP370 digital sounder module. It is not compatible with systems from other brands without a specific adapter, which is not supplied.

The main advantage is simplified installation and optimized performance. A transducer with built-in tilt correction, such as the SS60 at 20°, ensures the depth sounder beam is always directed vertically toward the seabed, even on a V-hull. This eliminates the need for external compensation wedges, which can be complex to install and less hydrodynamic.

The 20° tilt angle of the transducer element has no significant impact on the accuracy of the temperature reading. The temperature sensor is integrated into the depth sounder and reliably measures the surrounding water temperature, regardless of the sonar beam orientation.

The SS60 A80570 transducer, with its 50 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies and 600W power, is versatile. The 200 kHz frequency excels in shallower waters with high resolution, while the 50 kHz frequency is more effective for deeper water detection, though it is not designed for extreme deep-sea conditions.
