What Makes a
Sensor Smart?
Airmar's Smart™ Sensors have embedded
microelectronics—the transducer element and signal
processor are only millimeters apart. The signal from
our depth transducer is processed right inside the
sensor and fed directly to any display with an NMEA
port. In conventional navigation systems, a depth
transducer sends its signal to a dedicated instrument
which interprets the data for its display screen. Our
Smart™ Sensors can make a chart plotter or radar
screen do "double duty".
Who Benefits From
Smart
™
Technology?
Smart™ Sensors are right for both recreational
and commercial navigation. Choose either
170kHz or 235kHz for the recreational market.
At these frequencies, mutual interference with
fishfinders is eliminated. For the commercial
survey market, Airmar models operate at
200kHz.
Use Smart™ Sensors for low-cost, portable,
survey systems and special applications like
checking bridge abutments for scouring.
Models designed to withstand high pressure
can be used on remotely operated vehicles
and automated underwater vehicles to
measure distance above the sea floor.
Our robust bottom tracking software
will outperform other low priced systems.
All Airmar Smart™ Sensors
feature embedded signal processing.
Cable lengths of up to 100 meters (330’)
are possible, with no loss of performance.

on an instrument, chart plotter or
radar display.
