Forward looking sonar will play nicely with Raymarine plotters
Danish digitalisers Daniamant announced at the recent METSTRADE marine leisure industry trade show in Holland that EchoPilot’s new Forward Looking Sonar, The FLS 3D Gen 4, is now exclusively compatible with the commercial marine-popular Raymarine Axiom MFDs (Multi Function Displays).
Allowing customers to integrate forward-looking sonar to their Raymarine Axiom Displays, the new FLS 3D is easily connected to the Raynet via a RJ45 to Raynet cable. Once connected, the EchoPilot app will simply appear on the Axiom Display, allowing users to see forward-looking sonar on their display in real-time. Offering dual viewing of marine charts and forward-looking sonar at the same time, the display can also be used in split screen to aid both convenience and situational awareness.
In full, three-dimensional, coloured display, when the FLS 3D is connected to the Axiom display, users can benefit from full 360-degree rotation of the 3D image via touch, as well as the zoom function. This will give a closer view of how the seabed terrain looks ahead and shows potential hazards in real time.
The FLS 3D comes with twin transducers, said to be compatible with any hull form, to ensure complete forward coverage.
Kevin Rough, CEO at Daniamant, told Maritime Journal: “We are thrilled that we can offer this seamless integration with Raymarine displays and look forward to giving end users more flexibility when it comes to choosing the best electronics.”
