SIMRAD ES70 Single beam
Simrad ES70 is a modular system. This means that you can start with a simple one frequency
single beam system. Later, you can expand the system to a multi-frequency echo sounder using
single and/or split-beam transducers. You can choose from a wide variety of advanced software
functions, transducers, and transceivers.

The Simrad ES70 is a single
beam echo sounder for any
type of shery
The Simrad ES70 is a new
generation echo sounder. The latest
innovations in computer technology
have been used to satisfy the
increasing needs from our demanding
customers:“Topperformanceatany
depth,andeasytooperate!”
Menu system in your own
language
The menu system on the Simrad
ES70 uses icons and buttons with text
in your own language
to ensure fast and easy
operation.

Introducing Information
Panes
WiththeSimradES70,Simrad
introduces a new way to present
optionalinformation.Wecallthem
information panes.
Withaclickontherequested
icon on the top bar, the information
you wish to add to the echogram is
presented in a dedicated frame. You
can place the frame wherever you
want, and you can resize it to any
shape.Itiseventransparent,soyou
will not loose any information from
the echogram behind it.
New Zoom function
The new zoom function provided
by the Simrad ES70 is innovative,
efcientandveryeasytouse.Using
the trackball you can establish an area
on the echogram. The information
within this area is displayed in the
Zoompane,andtheshbiomassis
calculated and displayed.
The zoomed area can be used to
investigateaschoolofpelagicsh,or
an area close to bottom.
Bottom Hardness
The new Bottom Hardness pane
allows you to investigate the bottom
conditions. The ES70 measures
thereectivity,andcalculatesthe
hardness on a scale from 1 to 100. The
information may also be exported to
navigation plotters.
The Simrad ES70 provides you with a clear and undisturbed
echogram.Ifwishtoaddmoreinformation,youcanopen
dedicated information panes.
Multiple frequencies available
Different frequencies and
transducers are used for different
sheries.Mackerel,Tuna,Anchovies,
Herringandotherschooledshare
best measured using a high frequency
system, typically 120 or 200 kHz
depending on the depth. Cod, Pollock,
Seithandotherbottomshcanbe
measured using 70 or 38 kHz systems,
while 18 kHz is used for deep water
species.
Anytwooftheavailable
frequencies can be assembled in the
same transceiver cabinet.
Each frequency is operated
separately as with individual echo
sounders, or simultaneously to see the
frequencyresponsefromtheshon
two different frequencies.
You can add up to a total of six
frequencies on the screen at the
same time, or on separate monitors,
using available software, computer
technology and display monitors.

Long history, long
experience
Simrad has manufactured echo
soundersformorethan60years.
Simrad’srstechosounderscame
in1951.Thesegavethesherman
a real advantage, he was able to see
the depth, the bottom contours and
evensh!
Since then, Simrad has been the
world’s leading manufacturer of
echo sounders. Fishermen all over
the world trust Simrad to provide
the very best in quality, and lead the
way in innovative functionality, and
to come up with better and more
advanceddesigns.It’sawellplaced
trust. Simrad has shaped the path of
the echo sounder technology.

High quality transducers
The Simrad Combi-D transducers
operating on 38/200 and 50/200
kHz are the most commonly used
transducersforcoastalshing.
Bothtransducersarerated1kW.
Connected to the ES70 echo
sounder you can detect
singleshdownto500
meters on 38 kHz, and
220 meters on 200 kHz.
Limitless
capabilities
The Simrad ES70
echo sounder is more than a
regularechosounder.Ithashas
capabilities beyond any competitor.
You can put together a system with
as many transducers and frequencies
as you like, and build the sounding
systemyoualwaysdreamedof:
Lookingdownorsideways,sh
volume,singleshdetectionin
shallow as well as deep water, bottom
discrimination, history echogram,
recording facility, unlimited personal
settings, data output to plotter, etc.
The most powerful
zoom function ever!
Choose and size any
area on the echogram,
and investigate the echoes in the
Zoompane.Lettheareastayxed
to the vessel, or let it follow the
echogram.
Observe the total biomass
present in the zoomed area.
