Operation Manual

Simrad SH80

850-164385 / Rev.C

Options

General

The standard SH80 sonar is a single 116 kHz version with beam

stabilization.

The beam stabilization was an optional function until 1 January

2003. After that date, the function was included with the

standard sonar delivery.

The options described below are pre-programmed into the

standard software version, and a code word is required to make

the actual option available. Simrad offers a 1 month free test

period for certain options. Note that the Scientific Output

function is not available for such a test period.

For a permanent installation of a chosen option, a new code

word will be released from Simrad when the option is ordered.

Multiple-frequency

In addition to the standard 116 kHz frequency, a multiple

frequency option is available. In this multiple frequency version

you can select between 13 frequencies from 110 to 122 kHz in 1

kHz steps.

Scientific output

The Scientific Output is designed for research purposes. When

activated, the following data are available on an Ethernet (LAN)

output:

 Beam data

 Target data

 Own ship data

 Gear data

The scientific output option may also include software for a

Scientific Data Logger.

Note that this option is not available for a free test period.
