Description
The Simrad BSM-2 introduces fresh advances in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and frequency sweeping pulse compression (CHIRP) technology. The ability to transmit a longer pulse combined with the improved DSP and CHIRP capabilities not only delivers amazing mid-water range (300-600′ / 91-182m) resolution, but also enables the Simrad BSM-2 to penetrate to depths of 10,000 ft (3000m) and reveal precisely defined individual targets at all ranges in unprecedented detail. Put simply, the Simrad BSM-2 Broadband Sounder offers a leap forward in performance and an unbeatable advantage at every depth. The Simrad BSM-2 is fitted with dual transceivers and uses two separate transducers to transmit simultaneously on high and low frequencies. The longer pulse is transmitted for greater depth penetration and as it requires less power than a higher frequency signal it makes less noise.Together the combination of extremely efficient pulse generation and advanced digital processing has created a system that will outperform any 3kW system, and with lower power consumption and decreased noise. The Simrad BSM-2 has dual transceivers and is fitted with two depth transducer ports (low and high frequency), as well as supporting two independent temperature sensors. The unit operates at maximum capability with high performance Airmar broadband transducers supporting 25-45kHz, 40-60kHz, or 130-210kHz options. It is also compatible with existing 28/38/50/200KHz BSM-1 narrowband transducers with 5K/10K thermistors and a provided cable adapter, and Simrad Combi-C transducers. CHIRP is not enabled with these last two installations. The dual port configuration options are as follows: CHIRP Number 1: 130-210kHz or 40-60kHz. CHIRP Number 2: 40-60kHz or 25-45kHz. Narrowband Number 1: 200kHz or 50kHz. Narrowband Number 2: 50kHz, 38kHz or 28kHz.
The return signals, already superior to those generated by conventional sounders, are then processed by the new DSP software and displayed in ultra-sharp detail on the display unit.
Users with broadband transducers can select from a range of frequencies to best suit the conditions in which they are fishing.
The unit will also be valued by deepwater commercial and research organisations.
