Furuno Sonar CH-500BB 150 kHz

SKU: IMD03450088
EAN: IMD03450088
Stock:

A remarkable compact hull unit that reliably scans all around the vessel in a specified sector, bearing and tilt angle The CH-500 is a sophisticated searchlight sonar designed for small fishing vessels or pleasure craft. Individual fish, fish schools and underwater objects are displayed on a 10.4 color LCD.

Fast Step Sonar with Stabilization for Roll and Pitch

  • Excellent target separation
  • Fast scanning speed: for example, 360° in 3.1 seconds at 24° beam width
  • 11 viewing modes, including horizontal A-Scope, vertical view, echosounder, and split-screen options
  • Stabilized pitch and roll
  • Rapid gain control adjusts all echoes simultaneously when gain is changed
  • Sonar dome capsule can be replaced without dry-docking the vessel
  • Available as single-frequency (CH-500) or dual-frequency (CH-600) models

“Yes, the sonar is excellent for both herring and mackerel—but it really shines with mackerel. We’ve had cases before where we couldn’t detect mackerel on sonar at all, but with the CH-600, they appear clearly and precisely.”

— Svein Arne Hansen, Captain of Havbris

FAST STEP SONAR WITH STABILIZED TRANSDUCER

The CH-600 / CH-500 is a high-performance scanning sonar that rapidly sweeps around the vessel within a user-defined sector and adjustable tilt angle. At the maximum 24° beam width, it can scan a full 360° in just a few seconds. A powerful motor rotates the transducer element at high speed, delivering a near real-time sonar image.

The transducer includes a high-quality motion sensor that compensates for roll og pitch. This is critical for delivering a stable, noise-free sonar display with accurate echo presentation in all conditions.

This sonar line is offered as two models, CH-600 and CH-500. The CH-600 is a dual-frequency sonar, while CH-500 is a single-frequency sonar. CH-500 is also available in 150 kHz or 180 kHz version. Both models are well suited for smaller vessels.

EXPLOIT THE ADJUSTABLE BEAM WIDTH

The CH-600 / CH-500 is an extremely fast scanning sonar—often referred to as a step sonar—that can scan a full 360° in seconds. Beam width can be adjusted to 6°, 12°, 15°, 18°, 21°, or 24°. During search operations, the beam is typically set to the widest setting (24°) for maximum area coverage. Once a target is detected, narrowing the beam down to 6° provides clearer echoes and superior target separation.

CH-600 – DUAL FREQUENCY DISPLAY

The CH-600 operates simultaneously on two frequency bands—choose between 60/153 kHz or 85–215 kHz. Both sonar images are shown on the same screen, with an optional overlay mode that allows the higher-frequency image to be layered on top of the lower-frequency view, perfect for combining detailed and wide-area information in a single display.

Furuno Sonar CSH-8LMK2/85/220VAC

Furuno CSH-8L Mark-2 is a cost-effective full-circle multibeam scanning sonar. Ideal for smaller vessels as a replacement for stepping sonar. Displays individual fish, fish schools, and changing underwater conditions.

IMD03279002
Furuno Sonar FSV-25S

Sonar with a very long range, while also working well at short distances and can be used in the casting phase of a net. Can be operated on one or two screens simultaneously and runs with different gain, range, tilt and program settings. The sonar presents an incredibly clean and clear picture.

IMD03428001-b
Furuno Sonar FSV-75

High-frequency sonar FSV-75 provides excellent detection of baitfish and smaller schools, as well as fish species with weak sonar reflections, such as mackerel and herring. It is also well suited for use in difficult conditions such as currents, temperature changes or the mixing of fresh water. With a frequency of 180 kHz and advanced signal processing, this sonar provides a noise-free image with sharp rendering of echoes and thus is exceptionally well suited to detection of fish close to the seabed. A total of 10 user programs are available to optimize the sonar image for different types of fishing. The FSV-75 BB replaces previous models CSH-73/CSH-70. Retrofit is easy as the new sonar transducer fits in the same tube (Ø: 340mm).

Furuno Sonar CSH-5L Mk2 BB

Furuno CSH-8L Mark-2 is a cost-effective full-circle multibeam scanning sonar. Ideal for smaller vessels as a replacement for stepping sonar. Displays individual fish, fish schools, and changing underwater conditions.

Furuno 3D-sonar F3D-S

The F3D-S provides a unique 3D presentation of sonar data for the Furuno sonar FSV-25S. The 3D presentation is a highly efficient tool for decision making when getting ready to shoot the net. It becomes easier to evaluate the biomass shape and depth of a school, and to evaluate the risk of bycatch. The trawl and trawl doors are far more easily monitored and allows expedient maneuvering of the vessel for optimal catch. The F3D-S has an on/off bottom filtration function. When off, echoes from the bottom is removed and only echoes from fish remain presented.

FSV253D
Furuno Sonar FSV-85

The FSV series of Furuno Scanning Sonar has long been a favorite among commercial fishermen, and the FSV-85 carries on that tradition. The FSV series provides reliable and consistent detection of fish and seabed conditions with revolutionary, enhanced signal processing technology.
