Pachet 2 sonde traversante Inox 20° babord/tribord RVM-420, compatibil direct AXIOM2 și RVM1600 (2 x 2m, cablu Y și extensie 8m)

The Raymarine RVM-420 package (reference T70544) is a complete solution including two stainless steel through-hull transducers, specifically designed for hulls with a deadrise angle of 16° to 24°. It integrates RealVision 3D, DownVision, SideVision, and high-frequency CHIRP technologies for detailed sonar imaging. This package is intended for port and starboard installation for optimal coverage.

The Raymarine RVM-420 transducers integrate several advanced sonar technologies for a complete visualization of the underwater world:

RealVision 3D: Provides a three-dimensional view of the seabed, structures, and fish.
DownVision: Delivers a clear, photographic image of the seabed and structures beneath the boat.
SideVision: Allows visualization of structures and fish on the sides of the vessel.
High-frequency CHIRP: Enhances target separation and image resolution.

The RVM-420 through-hull depth sounder transducers are made of stainless steel, ensuring secure mounting and enhanced durability in marine environments.

The RVM-420 transducers have a 20° deadrise angle. They are specifically designed for hulls with a deadrise angle between 16° and 24°. This built-in angle ensures optimal performance without requiring a fairing block.

The T70544 pack includes the following items:

Two RVM-420 stainless steel through-hull transducers with a 20° angle. Two 2-meter transducer cables each. A Y-cable to connect both transducers to a single input. An 8-meter extension cable.

The RVM-420 transducers are directly compatible with Raymarine AXIOM² multifunction displays. They are also compatible with other models in the Axiom range, such as AXIOM, AXIOM+, AXIOM Pro, AXIOM XL, and AXIOM 2 XL displays, provided they are equipped with the appropriate RealVision MAX sounder module or have integrated RealVision MAX capability.

Yes, these transducers are designed for direct compatibility with Raymarine RVM1600 sounder modules, as well as with AXIOM2 displays that integrate RealVision MAX technology.

The RVM-420 transducers are through-hull type transducers. This means they are installed by drilling through the boat's hull so that the transducer element is in direct contact with the water, ensuring optimal sonar performance.

Yes, installing the RVM-420 through-hull transducers requires drilling the hull of the vessel for each transducer. This process is essential for secure mounting and to ensure the transducer is correctly positioned to receive sonar signals.

Yes, it is possible to apply antifouling paint to RVM-420 transducers. It is recommended to follow the specific instructions from both the antifouling paint manufacturer and Raymarine for reapplying antifouling to avoid degrading the transducer's performance.

The pack includes two transducers (one for port and one for starboard) to provide enhanced and more complete SideVision coverage on both sides of the boat. This setup is particularly advantageous for larger vessels or those seeking detailed side imaging over an extended area.

Yes, the positioning of the transducers is crucial for optimal performance. It is recommended to install them in an area where the water flow is smooth and free of turbulence, away from propellers, keels, water intakes or other transducers. Specific guidelines are provided in the installation manual for fiberglass hulls.

Yes, calibration is required after installation. The RVM-420 probes require RealVision AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) calibration to ensure 3D image accuracy, as well as general sonar transducer calibration for correct depth and imaging readings.

The RVM-420 transducer pack includes:

Two 2-meter transducer cables. A Y-cable to connect both transducers. An 8-meter extension cable. This provides sufficient combined cable length for many installation setups.

The RVM-420 transducers transmit a full range of sonar data to your compatible Raymarine display, including:

Detailed 3D images of the seabed and structures.DownVision views beneath the boat.SideVision views of the boat’s sides.Accurate depth data.Fish detection and identification.

Although the installation manual lists the exact requirements, installing through-hull transducers such as the RVM-420 typically requires basic hull-work tools, including:

A power drill. Hole saws of various sizes for cutting through the hull. Measuring tools. Marine-grade sealants. Appropriate wrenches and screwdrivers for assembly.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to ensure that your compatible Raymarine multifunction display (such as the AXIOM2) is running the latest LightHouse software version. Software updates ensure optimal compatibility and access to all RVM-420 transducer features.

The durability of the RVM-420 probes is ensured by their stainless steel (316L) construction, a material known for its corrosion resistance and robustness in harsh marine environments. Additionally, their through-hull installation ensures a secure and resistant mounting.

To maintain optimal performance of the RVM-420 transducers, regular maintenance is recommended, including:

Routine checks to ensure there are no damages or obstructions. Cleaning the transducer surfaces to remove marine fouling. Reapplying antifouling paint if necessary, following the appropriate guidelines.

Yes, the Y-cable and extension cable provided in the kit are specifically designed for RealVision series probes, including the RVM-420, and for connecting them to compatible Raymarine sounder modules or multifunction displays. They ensure optimal connectivity and performance.
