[CA] [CA11] Axiom Pro S internal sonar question

[cc driver]

Good morning to all!

The manual for the Axiom Pro 12 S (E70482) cites this MFD as having a “built-in 600W sonar module.” However, the manual for the CP470 CHIRP Sonar Module has a section (2.5) that cites the internal technology of all three Axiom PRO S (9”, 12”, 16”) MFDs as “200W CHIRP sonar”. So, my questions are, what is the sonar power rating of the Axiom PRO 12 S? Is it 600 watts, 200 watts, or something else?

Thanks for your time and attention.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum cc driver,

Consistent with the CP470's Installation Guide and as indicated within the FAQ found here, the power output of the CPT-S transducers as well as the low power / high frequency CHIRP conical element of RealVision 3D transducers and DownVision transducers is 200W. Accordingly, whether interfaced to an Axiom DV MFD, Axiom RV MFD, Axiom Pro S MFD, Axiom Pro RVX MFD, eSx8 MFD, ax8 MFD, RVX1000 Sounder Module, or CP100 Sounder Module, the power output to a CPT-S transducer or the low power (200W), high frequency CHIRP (conical) sonar element of a RealVision 3D transducer or DownVision transducer will be 200W.
