Product catalog summary
Overview: The Simrad SN50 is a versatile matrix sonar system designed for fish-finding and navigation. It can function as a multibeam echo sounder, seine sonar, trawling sonar, or navigation aid, depending on installation. The system operates primarily at 57 kHz, with an adjustable frequency range from 55 to 59 kHz, offering an operational range of up to 2500 meters.
Key Features:
  • Transceiver electronics are integrated within the transducer, reducing cables and noise, and simplifying installation.
  • The transducer comprises 144 individual elements, each with its own transmitter and receiver.
  • The system supports electronic beam tilting and includes a stabilizing system for pitch and roll compensation.
  • Compact design suitable for vessels with limited space, requiring only a power supply unit and an Ethernet cable for communication.
User Interface: The SN50 user interface is consistent with other Simrad sonars, offering ease of use with texts available in over 20 languages. The interface provides quick access to key functionalities and navigational information, with customizable presentation modes for echo data.
Installation and Operation: The SN50 is designed for easy installation with no need for an external transceiver cabinet. It is ideal for smaller vessels due to its compact size. The system allows for data storage and recall, and users can define and save custom settings.
Specifications:
  • Adjustable operating frequency: 55 to 59 kHz
  • Maximum range: 2500 meters (subject to acoustic conditions)
  • Pulse forms: CW and FM
  • Beam tilt: +10 to -60°
  • High definition and large dynamic range
  • Internal stabilization with optional external motion reference unit (MRU)
Additional Information: For more details, software updates, and user documentation, visit the official website. The system also includes an online simulator to demonstrate its capabilities.

KONGSBERG SIMRAD SN50: Versatile matrix sonar for fish finding and navigation The Simrad SN50 is a high-resolution matrix sonar. Depending on your installation choice, you can use the SN50 system as a multibeam echo sounder, a seine sonar, a trawling sonar, or a navigation aid. The centre operational frequency is 57 kHz, but you can select any operational frequency from 55 to 59 kHz in steps of 0.5 kHz. This frequency range gives you an operating range of up to 2500 metres depending on the acoustic conditions. Visit www.kongsberg.com/sn50 for more information, the latest software version, and the end-user documentation. SN50 HIGHLIGHTS • We have placed the transceiver electronics inside the rectangular transducer. This means less cables, less noise and easier installation for you. • The transducer contains 144 individual elements, each with its own transmitter and receiver. • The maximum range is approximately 2500 metres depending on the acoustic conditions.

The design of the Simrad SN50 user interface follows the same principles as the other Simrad sonars. This standard design makes it easier for you to recognize key functionality, and the overall operation is simplified. All texts in the user interface are available in more than 20 languages. The top bar gives you immediate access to key functionality and navigational information. The menu on the right (or left) side allows access to all operating parameters. Your choice of presentation modes and views are available for the echo data presentations. We have based the SN50 design on the acclaimed...

The only cabinet you need to install is the Power Supply Unit. All transceiver electronics are placed inside the transducer. This means less cables, less noise and easier installation. The centre operational frequency is 57 kHz. You can select any operational frequency from 55 to 59 kHz. This frequency range gives you an operating range of up to 2500 metres depending on the acoustic conditions. The transmitted sonar beams can be tilted electronically. This allows you to search the whole sector and optimise the sonar performance to match the acoustic conditions. A built-in stabilizing system is...
