The Simrad SX90 is a long-range, low-frequency fish-finding sonar. It is specially designed for vessels where long range is criteria No.1. The Simrad SX90 is a long-range omnidirectional low-frequency sonar. The SX90 is designed for medium and large-sized fishing vessels. It was originally developed for purse seiners, but experience has proven that it is also well-suitable for trawlers.
Versatile sonar system for fishing vessels of all sizes
The Simrad SX90 is a versatile sonar system tailored for fishing vessels of all sizes, including both purse seiners and trawlers. Its central operational frequency is set at 26 kHz, with the flexibility to select any frequency between 20 to 30 kHz in 1 kHz increments. This system is equipped with a cylindrical multi-element transducer, enabling the omnidirectional sonar beams to be electronically tilted from -10 to +60° in 1° steps. Such functionality is crucial for automatically tracking fish schools and observing the entire water volume around the vessel. Additionally, the SX90 incorporates a stabilizing system for electronic pitch and roll compensation, enhancing its operational effectiveness.
"Winson" operating software
This sonar uses the latest "Winson" operating software. This unique software platform is common for all Simrad sonars. It allows you to present the various sonar echoes in separate views, which you can move to separate display monitors. Another great feature of the new software is its ability to "ping" all the beams simultaneously. Multiple pings increase the ping rate and thus offer a more frequent update of the sonar echoes in the views.
Other standard features of the "Winson" operating software are:
