Searchlight Sonar

1.The JFP-180BB new and compactly designed searchlight sonar integrates multiple display modes, which will allow you to control your presentation at your own convenience.

JRC’s new JFP-180BB searchlight sonar is black box configured as standard, allowing you to select a preferred display size suiting your vessel. JRC’s displays uniformly incorporate a high brightness LCD display, available in 10.4- or 15-inch, ideal for installations on (relative) small commercial fishing vessels. It also integrates a dedicated one-touch day/night key, which provides suitable brightness to the display images, supporting particular time and scene operations.

The newly developed JFP-180BB give the user a feature not previously found on this class of sonar. The searchlight sonar will not stop searching when adjusting the tilt angle. This is a very useful tool for enhancing your efficiency of fishing operations and safety of navigation.

The sonar integrates multiple display modes, facilitating a valuable working environment. The new JRC searchlight sonar illuminates the underwater scene with a beam of sonic energy, rotating through 360 degrees. The JFP-180BB provides a range of display modes to suit the search task. You can select a detailed display image at your convenience.

The center of the beam can be set in 1 degree increments from 5 degrees from the horizontal, to 90 degrees from the sea surface. The transducers ultra-sonic beam sweeps a specific sector and bearing. When pointing straight down, the beam will give a high definition picture of the sea floor. As the beam moves from the perpendicular to the horizontal, bottom definition reduces and fish detection improves. The horizontal scan (sonar mode) can search through a full 360 degree or search a selection of up to 16 different sectors using a 5- or 10-degree beam width.

The new JFP-180BB incorporates a highly reliable industry standard interfacing field. Connect additional navigation equipment, such as GPS, which provides on-screen the exact location of this vessel. It also shows the track line of the vessels’ bow wake (wave that relatively spreads out in the rear of the vessel), initially saved every 2 seconds.
