SKIPPER 16° (Art no: ETF50L) 50khz/ 1,2kW External mount housing

The seven- piezoceramic element, sets the standard for performance and price its class. The expoxy resin housing with integral acousting window achieves a balance of very low ringing, low sidelobes, and excellent sensitivity at a reasonable price.

Features
* High echo amplitudes achieved with excellent transmitting and receiving voltage response
* Excellent ring suppression and very low Q provides for remarkable echo definition
* PZT piezoceramic array provides high acoustic efficiency
* Good definition in hard bottoms with low sidelobes
* Streamlined shape reduces drag
* Blister housing minimizes installation cost

Specifications
* Housing material: Epoxy Resin
* Standard cable type: C37-shielded twisted pair (2-18 AWG) with braided shield, black neoprene jacket, 9 mm (3/8") diameter
* Standard cable length: 10 m (33')
* Weight: 5,5 kg (13 lb.)
* Individually packaged
* Installation kit: stainless steel nuts & bolts with foam plugs
* Accommodates hull thickness: Max. no fairing 234 mm (9 i/4") ax. with fairing157 mm (63/16")

Applications
* Commercial fishing vessels
* Compatible with any hull material
