Transducer question

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Navatech,

Q1. Sorry, one last follow up question, assuming I go with an a67 MFD can I hook up a CHIRP transducer directly to the unit AND hook up the E66079 transducer by adding a DSM300 to my network?
A1. It is neither possible to interface a CHIRP transducer or CHIRP/DownVision Transducer to the transducer socket of an ax7/cx7/e7D/ex7/ex7/eSx7 MFD nor for its internal 600W ClearPulse fishfinder sounder circuitry to process data from such transducers. Should low power CHIRP/DownVision sounding (supports operation in depths up to 600') be desired, then the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD should be interfaced to CP100 CHIRP/DownVision Sounder Module and one of the CHIRP transducers found here. Should high power CHIRP sounding be desired, then the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD should be interfaced to CP470/CP570 CHIRP Sounder Module and one of the CHIRP transducers found here. The E66079 B260 Transducer may be interfaced to a CP370, CP300, DSM300, or DSM30, which in turn may be interfaced to the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD. Alternatively, the E66079 B260 Transducer may be adapted (w/E66066 transducer adapter) to be mated to the Transducer socket of an ax7/cx7/e7D/ex7/eSx7 MFD. All of the MFDs and fishfinder sounder modules specified within this response have Ethernet communications interfaces to support communications between the MFD(s) and fishfinder sounder module(s). It is not uncommon for CHIRP, CHIRP/DownVision, SideVision, and 50/200kHz fishfinder sounding to be operated simultaneously within a system.
