Sondă traversantă din plastic babord 12° HV-300 HyperVision

The HV-300 HyperVision transducer is a through-hull plastic transducer, designed for installation on the port side of the vessel, with a 12° angle correction to compensate for hull deadrise. It uses Raymarine’s HyperVision™ technology, which integrates DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision functions, providing detailed imaging of the seabed and underwater structures. This installation type ensures optimal performance at high speeds with minimal exposure to turbulence.

For the installation of the HV-300 transducer, you must use only a neutral-curing polyurethane sealant of marine quality. It is essential not to use sealants containing acetate or silicone, as they could damage the plastic components of the transducer.

No, you cannot use any antifouling paint. It is recommended to apply only water-based antifouling paint on the HV-300 transducer. It is crucial to avoid ketone-based or copper-based paints, as they could affect the transducer's performance or void the warranty.

No, it is essential to test and use the HV-300 transducer only when the vessel is in the water. Using the transducer out of the water may cause overheating and damage the device.

The main difference lies in their installation method:

The HV-300 is a thru-hull transducer, designed to be installed through the hull of the vessel. This installation provides optimal performance at high speed and minimal exposure to turbulence. The HV-100 is a transom-mount transducer, designed to be attached to the transom of the vessel. Both transducers use HyperVision™ sonar imaging technology.

The HV-300 HyperVision transducer is primarily compatible with Raymarine Element HV series multifunction displays. These displays are designed to fully leverage HyperVision™ technology and provide detailed sonar images.

The designation "port 12°" indicates two important characteristics:

Port: The transducer is specifically designed to be installed on the left side of the vessel (port side). 12°: The transducer incorporates a 12° correction angle to compensate for the deadrise (V-angle) of the boat's hull. This ensures the depth sounder's beam is directed vertically toward the seabed, providing accurate and optimal readings.

To ensure optimal performance of the HV-300 transducer, it is essential to select an appropriate installation location. Key recommendations:

Choose a spot where water flow is smooth and undisturbed by hull appendages (propellers, keels, strakes, etc.). Avoid areas prone to turbulence or air bubbles, which can degrade sonar signal quality. Ensure the location is away from any source of electrical interference. The spot must be accessible for installation, maintenance, and cleaning of the transducer.
