Simrad SN90 introduces a new and efficient tool for purse seiners and trawlers. Dubbed 'five echo sounders in one', the SN90 provides unprecedented insights through its five individually controlled inspection beams. An online simulator is also available, allowing users to experience these capabilities firsthand. Innovative sonar capabilities for trawlers For trawlers, the Simrad SN90 features a forward-looking transducer mounted on the bow, shielded from acoustic interference from hull movement, machinery, and propellers. Its high resolution and extensive range help detect individual fish and schools from hundreds of meters away. With a transducer that projects a 120 degree swath, the SN90 offers a powerful tool for long-range fish detection. The transducer can be fixed to the hull or bulb like a regular echo sounder transducer. If you need protection against ice or obstacles in the sea, you can use a hull unit. With a hull unit, you can retract the transducer when the SN90 is not used. In this configuration, the sonar beams point forward in a wide swath that can be tilted to match your requirements. A complete vertical slice is also available, as well as separate inspection split beams. These can be individually trained and tilted to fit your needs. Stack the inspection beams on top of each other, or spread them out to investigate echoes on either side of the vessel. Bottom detector and bottom expansion functionalities have been included in the inspection beam presentations, as well as a zoom option. This allows you to detect fish close to the bottom, giving you more time to decide before the fish reaches the trawl.
