Transducer
One or more trans ducers are included.
The basic EQ60 configuration accepts one or two transducers.
Only two alternatives are available: 38/200 or 50/200. If
additional transducers, or other frequencies, are required, a
General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) must be implemented.
A single frequency General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) accepts
one transducer, and a dual frequency GPT accepts two
transducers.
A large number of transducers are available from Simrad. There
are several transducer alternatives for each operating frequency
with different beam widths, power rating and mounting
arrangements.
All transducers are rated 60 or 75 ohms. Each has an efficiency
of approximately 50%.
Transceiver
The basic EQ60 configuration includes one PC Transceiver
(PCT). It is mechanically integrated with the display unit.
Optional, the high performance and highly flexible General
Purpos e Transceiver (GPT) may be added to the system.
