ALWAYS AT THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGY

Simrad ES60 Echosounder –
with Single, Dual or Split Beam
New features are introduced into the high
performance Simrad ES60 range of professional fish finders.
The Simrad ES60 is designed for the fishermen, using the latest
technology available. High performance at any depth, easy operation
and remote control are key elements in our design.
Flexible solutions
The Simrad ES60 can have multiple
external transceivers with one or two
frequencies, single or split beam. With the
addition of one more processor unit and
monitor, any combination of frequencies
can be shown on either display.
Dual frequency
Triple frequency
Quad frequency with two monitors
Configure your own
Fish Finder system.
By choosing various modules, with
different transceiver frequencies,
transmitting powers and transducers
you can build a fish finding system
to suit your needs.
A Simrad ES60 system can have
a choice of up to four high power
transceivers. For highest performance
these are installed close to the
transducer and linked to the bridge
with
a single data cable. Frequencies are
available from 12kHz to 200 kHz,
with up to 4 kW transmitting power.
The flexible installation in the
wheelhouse, with a variety of display
sizes, can fit any sized bridge. With
the handheld roller ball, the processor
unit can be stowed away, thereby
taking up less space. A variety of
highly efficient ceramic transducers
will suit any type of fishery in
shallow or deep waters.
Configure your own screen
presentation.
With the roller ball you can design
your own display picture to suit your
special needs by sizing the different
windows on the screen for Echogram,
Bottom expansion, A-Scope and
Digital depth. On a split beam version
also the Size distribution/Fish plot
area.
Simplified operation
Gain and Range settings are
controlled directly from the roller
ball without going into a menu.
All functions are easily controlled
with just a click on the screen.
A detailed operator manual in your
own language is accessed from the
help menu.
System software
The Simrad ES60 is delivered with
the system software installed, ready
to use. Future software upgrades are
easily installed from a CD-ROM on
the built in CD-ROM reader.
Unique features
• Up to four frequencies shown
on the same display
• Each frequency can be operated
independently
• Memory of favourite settings
• Unlimited range selections
• Separate gain-settings for fish,
schools and bottom
• Dual high performance receivers
with 140dB dynamic range
• Recording memory
• Split Beam feature with true fish
size and volume
• Bottom discrimination data output
to Simrad CM60 Chart Mapping
system
Night display with split screen
Using the split screen mode, both
transducer frequencies are shown
simultaneously. Dual frequency
presentation improves the ability to
separate and identify echoes from
various fish species.

Large echogram memory
The large memory capacity in the Simrad ES60 allows many
hours of echograms to be stored. The recorded data can be
replayed at high speed and presented in a few minutes.
The replay can be done with different Gain, TVG and Range
settings.
Fishery scientists use this unique Simrad feature world-wide.
The 38kHz recording show 40 cm Argentines at more than 400
meter depth. The fish size analyzer (see detail image), depicts
true fish size by echo color, and size distribution on a bargraph.
Split BeamTechnology

1.Fish Plot
The fish plot presentation is a single fish
position tracking display and indicates
where the fish is in the echosounder beam.
2.Fish Size Histogram.
A fish size analyzer, depicting true fish size by
echo color, and size distribution on a bargraph.
3.Bottom Expansion
Bottom locked scale expansion.Gives more
detailed information of fish close to the bottom.
4.Echogram
A high performance, multi-frequency
deep water fish finder with a large
dynamic range. Single fish detection
below 1000 meter.
5.Indication of depth
in meters
- the diameter of transducer coverage
area and the Gain setting, can be
selected at any point in the echogram.

The Simrad ES60 Split Beam is a calibrated
sounder that shows echo colors in true fish
sizes. The fish plot shows single fish targets
for distinguishing fish from bait.

New transducers have been designed for the fishing
industry using the very latest Simrad technology.
Connected to a Simrad Echosounder, these instruments
are highly sensitive at any depth and capable of detecting
single fish below 1000 meters.
Through new developments in design Simrad transducers
are more efficient therefore requiring less power than the
competitor’s transducers to perform equally or better.
A Simrad 1kW transducer compares often to transducers
needing up to 3kW to perform equally.
The importance is how much energy is transmitted into the
water from the transducer and not how much energy is pumped
into the transducer for there to be converted mostly to heat.
Modern manufacturing of
high technology transducers
demands the utmost of accuracy,
cleanliness, patience and hours
of testing.

The Simrad CM60 is a 2 and 3 dimensional chart
mapping system. Connected to the ES60 you can make
detailed seabed maps with bottom data. It will give you
a full overview that provides more accurate, effective,
profitable and responsible fishing.
Make your own 3D maps
The Simrad CM60 is a high-speed dedicated fishery
plotter that uses the echosounder depth data and the GPS
lat/long data to generate topographic seabed maps in real
time. The results are combined with the latest vectorised
surface maps to form a powerful and complete three
dimensional navigation system.
Surface navigation uses today’s official S57 electronic
charts or the CM-93 world coverage vector charts from
C-Map. The new seafloor map generated by the Simrad
CM60 is integrated with the vectorised charts, and the
combination appears as one seamless chart thereby
improving the details on the original seabed chart.
Detection and mapping of bottom hardness
The raw data from the Simrad EQ/ES60 echosounder is
used to deduce the seabed hardness.The hardness is coded
in colors from dark purple for soft bottom to yellow indi-
cating hard bottom. The echogram from the Simrad sounder
is displayed in a window in the plotter giving a one screen
presentation.
CM60 features
• Generates high resolution bottom maps.
( 5 m resolution with regular GPS)
• A complete navigation plotter with intelligent
handling of vectorised charts
• Combines own generated bottom mapping with
the official vector charts
• Gives you the opportunity to inspect the data and
correct for measuring errors
• Has a number of tools analysing the bottom topography,
bottom profile, bottom zoom, 3D and relief
• Has no limitations as to number of depth measurements
• Can handle charts from the whole world at the same time
• Processes huge amount of data virtually in true time
• Continually improves its own generated bottom maps
with new data

Trawling with Simrad ITI Trawl Instrumentation
gives tracking of both vessel and trawl. Note the
difference in heading for the vessel and trawl.
Easy route planning with bottom profile along
the whole route.
