Key facts

The Simrad ES60 echo sounders is designed for the professional
fishery community implementing the latest innovations.
• The ES60 system is flexible and easy to configure due to the
modular design.
• Echo sounders ranging from relatively low-cost single beam
to large multi-frequency systems containing several
split-beam channels can be realised.
• Menus and dialogue boxes are operated by a standard mouse
or a roller ball.
• Large colour liquid crystal displays (LCD) are used. A
standard computer mouse may be used.
• The ES60 uses the Microsoft Windows® display interface.
Operation is to a large extent self-explanatory. Getting started
is easy if you are familiar with standard Microsoft
Windows® programs.
• A store/replay function reduces the need for echogram
printout on paper. The unprocessed transducer signal is
recorded on the internal harddisk. During replay, this signal
is injected into the ES60 processing software as if it arrived
directly from the transceiver.

Main units

The standard version of the ES60 echo sounder consists of the
following units:
• a display unit (several sizes are available)
• a Processing Unit (personal computer)
• a General Purpose Transceiver (different types are available)

Up to four frequency channels can be installed in a single
system. High-power single-beam and split-beam transducers are
available at operating frequencies ranging from 12 to 200 kHz.
