2.4 Sonar technology Traditional sonar technology Traditional sonar uses a single carrier frequency or carrier wave for the sonar ping. The sonar works by measuring the time it takes the ping echo to return to the transducer to determine target depth.
CHIRP technology CHIRP sonars use a swept frequency 'CHIRP' signal which can distinguish between multiple close targets, this enables the sonar to display multiple targets instead of large combined targets that you would see when using traditional non-CHIRP sonar. Benefits of CHIRP include improvements to target resolution, bottom detection even through bait balls and thermoclines and detection sensitivity.
CHIRP Sonar overview CHIRP sonar produces a conical shaped beam, the coverage of the conical beam is the water column directly beneath the vessel Conical beam Sonar is effective at a range of speeds. In deeper waters the CHIRP bandwidth is automatically optimized to improve bottom lock and the detection of moving objects (e.g.

Compass safe distance To prevent potential interference with the vessel's magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate distance is maintained from the product. When choosing a suitable location for the product you should aim to maintain the maximum possible distance from any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3.3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the product this far away from a compass.
• Unless otherwise stated use only standard cables of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine. • Ensure that any non-Raymarine cables are of the correct quality and gauge. For example, longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run.
Ensure that all cables are properly shielded and that the cable shielding is undamaged. Suppression ferrites • Raymarine cables may be pre-fitted or supplied with suppression ferrites. These are important for correct EMC performance. If ferrites are supplied separately to the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), you must fit the supplied ferrites, using the supplied instructions.
Making connections Follow the steps below to connect the cable(s) to your product. 1. Ensure that the vessel's power supply is switched off. 2. Ensure that the device being connected to the unit has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions supplied with that device.
4.3 Power connection Power must be supplied to the sonar module from an appropriate power source. Power connection requirements • 12 or 24 Vdc nominal supply voltage • Isolated power supply • Connected via an appropriately rated thermal breaker or fused switch. Refer to: In-line fuse and thermal breaker ratings.
The information provided below is for guidance only, to help protect your product. It covers common vessel power arrangements, but does NOT cover every scenario. If you are unsure how to provide the correct level of protection, please consult an authorized Raymarine dealer or a suitably qualified professional marine electrician.
