Introduction
Basic information
TheSimradSH80Fishfinding sonar is an omnidirectional
high frequency sonar, designed for all sized fishing vessels,
both purse seiners and trawlers. The standard frequency is 116
kHz (multiple frequencies as option), and the beam can be
electronically tilted from +10 to –60 degrees.
Great emphasis has been placed on giving the best possible
presentations on a high resolution colour display. The Processor
Unit is controlled by Microsoft’s Windows XP® operating
system, which result in a flexible choice of display modes for a
large range of user applications.
The signal processing and beamforming is performed in a fast
digital signal processing system using the full dynamic range
of the signals. In addition to the traditional single f requency
transceiver system, the Simrad SH80 Fish finding sonar contains
an advanced frequency m odulated fi lter system (FM).
The cylindrical multi-element transducer allows the
omnidirectional sonar beam to be tilted electronically down to
-60 degrees. This allows you to automatically track schools of
fish, and to observe the whole water volume around the vessel.
A s tabilization system is included for electronic pitch and roll
compensation.
