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.
The SX90 is designed for fishing vessels of all sizes, both purse seiners and trawlers. The centre operational frequency is 26 kHz, but you can select any operational frequency from 20 to 30 kHz in steps of 1 kHz. The cylindrical multi-element transducer allows the omnidirectional sonar beams to be tilted electronically from -10 to +60° in 1° steps. This allows you to automatically track schools of fish, and to observe the whole water volume around the vessel.
The SX90 provides a number of standard interface lines for communication with peripheral devices and sensors. Typical inputs are geographical information from a positioning system, vessel speed and current heading. By default, the SX90 uses a built-in motion sensor. For improved operational accuracy, an external motion reference unit (MRU) can be connected.
The SX90 offers the same user interface and operating software as our other sonars, echo sounders and catch monitoring systems. This enables easier and faster training of new users.
The SX90 echo presentations are optimized for multiple displays. Provided that you have connected additional displays to your Processor Unit, you can use the Docking Views function to take any sonar view and place it on a separate display.
