The Simrad SY50 is an compact omnidirectional medium frequency fish-finding sonar designed for coastal fisheries. It is mainly designed for smaller fishing vessels and offers the latest technology available, previously found only on larger sonars and other acoustic systems.
The compact design allows for easy installation
The compact size and ease of installation make the Simrad SY50 ideal for vessels with limited room for a sonar installation. There is no transceiver cabinet, only a small power supply. All the transceiver electronics are contained inside the transducer, resulting in fewer cables, less noise, and a more straightforward setup. The communication between the hull unit and the computer on the bridge is limited to a single Ethernet cable. Moreover, the hull unit and the computer may also operate on DC power, which is perfect for coastal fishing vessels without a 3-phase power system.
Advanced sonar capabilities
The Simrad SY50 uses 256 individual receiver- and transmitter channels to offer a clear and high-resolution sonar presentation. This functionality is unparalleled in a sonar in this price range. This includes full beam stabilisation, vertical views, FM transmission, and single-ping transmission that covers horizontal and vertical in one ping. The popular 'Winson' operating software, with a familiar user interface in almost 20 languages, makes the Simrad SY50 incredibly user-friendly.
Efficient and customisable operation
The cylindrical multi-element transducer of the Simrad SY50 allows for omnidirectional sonar beams to be tilted electronically from +10 to -60° in 1° steps
