The SP70 sonar requires connection to a speed log and a course
gyro. An inaccurate log or gyro input will cause inaccurate
indication of the vessel and target movements.
In addition to log and gyro, the following peripheral equipment
can be connected to the sonar.
• A (D)GPS may be connected to the SP70 sonar to establish
the vessels position and provide cursor and marker latitude
and longitude.
• Simrad echo sounders (EQ, ES and EK Series) provides a
bottom plot on the catch data page.
• Simrad PI32 Net Monitoring system provides the net depth in
digits and bars on the catch data presentation.
• Simrad trawl instrumentation; FS 900, FS 3300 or ITI
- FS 900 and FS 3300: The trawl will be displayed in
correct depth.
- ITI: The trawl will be displayed in correct size, depth,
distance and bearing.
• A Current meter system will indicate the current speed and
direction for up to three different depths in the sonar picture.
• A radio buoy system (GPS type) will provide the
geographical position of the buoy(s) in the sonar picture.
For connection of any of this peripheral equipment, contact your
local dealer.
