Simrad SH90 SIMRAD SH90 Study this chapter to familiarize yourself with the Simrad SH90 Fish finding sonar system. Topics • Basic information on page 5 • Main units on page 5 • System diagram on page 8 • Basic functionality on page 9 Basic information The Simrad SH90 is an omnidirectional high frequency sonar.
The computer is based on a commercial design, but the software and hardware has been specified and assembled by Simrad to suit the SH90 sonar requirements. The computer holds a DVD player to be used for future software upgrades.
Simrad SH90 This computer serves several functions. It performs the advanced signal processing required to present the information on the display, and it allows you to control the sonar. It provides the graphic presentation of the sonar modes and the images created, it holds the menu system, it communicates with the Transceiver Unit, and reads information from peripheral units.
Simrad SH90 Transducer The cylindrical allows the sonar beam to give full 360 Transducer degrees coverage of the water volume down to -60 degrees. System diagram Figure 3 SH90 Simplified system diagram Processor Unit Colour Monitor Operating panel Operating Panel power supply...
Simrad SH90 Basic functionality The basic principles of the Simrad SH90 are unique because of the 480 transmitter and 480 receiver channels with their transducer elements spread around on the cylindrical transducer. The transmission, reception and data processing are under...
In that way, it is not necessary to go over the target to see the distribution on the echo sounder, which often results in a spreading of the school. Stabilisation system The Simrad SH90 is provided with a stabilisation system. 337405/A...
Simrad SH90 When the beam stabilizer is activated, both horizontal and vertical beams will be stabilized electronically for roll and pitch movements up to ±20 degrees. The beam direction will then change continuously according to the vessel’s movements, and secure an optimal contact with the targets even in rough seas.
The RCG filter must therefore be used with care if scattered schools are to be detected. Ping-to-ping filter Thee Simrad SH90 is equipped with a ping-to-ping filter (PP Filter) to provide a clean and steady presentation by reducing the interference and noise. This filter compares the echoes from a...

Simrad SH90 When the stabilising system is active, the tilt angle for each beam will automatically be corrected relative to the vessel’s pitch and roll movements. 337405/A...
Simrad SH90 MENU SYSTEM The Simrad SH90 Fish finding sonar comprises a large number of different menus on several levels. Menus are selected by pressing their respective tabs on the right hand side, and the appearance of menus and tabs depends on the chosen operational mode and the current settings.
Operating panel OPERATING PANEL The most frequently used functions are directly accessible by the designated control buttons on the Operating Panel, and may enter operational commands directly. The buttons are grouped in fields according to their purpose. Most sonar functions are also accessible and activated using the menu system on the display and the trackball and button on the Operating Panel.
Simrad SH90 EXAMPLES This page presents several screen captures taken from actual operations on fishing vessels. Figure 10 1200 meters This screen capture shows schools on port side at 1200 meters range. Also, a small school of fish is located approximately 1100 meter aft of the vessel.
