SIMRAD ES70 SPLIT-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 split
beam echo sounder for any
type of shery
The Simrad ES70 is a new genera-
tion echo sounder. The latest innova-
tions 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.

SIMRAD ES70 SPLIT-BEAM
The Simrad ES70 provides you with a clear and undisturbed
echogram.Ifwishtoaddmoreinformation,youcanopen
dedicated information panes.
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 pre-
sented 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 echo-
gram 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.Fish
sizeisdisplayed
intheSize
Distribution pane.
Thezoomedareacanbeusedto
investigateaschoolofsh,anarea
close to bottom, or even measure a
singleshintheechogram.
Bottom Hardness
ThenewBottomHardness
pane allows you to investi-
gate 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.
Echo Position
TheEchoPositionpane
providesa3Dpresentation
ofthesingleshechoespres-
entlylocatedintheechosounder’s
beam. The colours of the echoes
are the same as the colours in the
SizeDistributionpane.

SIMRAD ES70 SPLIT-BEAM
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.
ES70 Split-beam
Asplitbeamechosounderiscapa-
ble of measuring target strength from
sh.Differentshsizeandspecies
havedifferenttargetstrengths.With
thehelpfromthesheryscientist
weareabletocalculateshsizesfor
differentspecies.Withmorethan25
years split beam experience, Simrad
has become the world leader using
thistechnologyfordeterminingsh
size.
Multiple frequencies available
Different frequencies and transduc-
ersareusedfordifferentsheries.
Mackerel,Tuna,Anchovies,Herring
andotherschooledsharebestmeas-
ured using a high frequency system,
typically120or200kHzdepending
onthedepth.Cod,Pollock,Saithand
otherbottomshcanbemeasured
using70or38kHzsystems,while18
kHzisusedfordeepwaterspecies.
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 fre-
quenciesasyoulike,andbuildthe
sounding system you always dreamed
of:Lookingdownorsideways,sh
volume,singleshdetectioninshal-
low 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.
Observethesizeofthesh
