Airmar R509C-LM Low/Med Chirp 3KW Thru-Hull Mount Depth/Temp No Connector

The Airmar R509C-LM is a remarkable low to medium frequency chirp transducer. It's a 3kW powerhouse with no connector. This model provides both depth and fast - response water - temperature sensing. With 2 to 3 kW of power, it offers excellent deep - water performance. The low frequency range is from 28 to 60 kHz, with beamwidths of 23° to 9° port - starboard and 11° to 5° fore - aft, reaching a maximum depth of 3048 m (10000'). The medium frequency ranges from 80 to 130 kHz, with a 13° to 8° beamwidth and a max depth of 914 m (3000'). It has a total bandwidth of 82 kHz from one transducer, covering popular fishing frequencies like 38, 50, 88, and 107 kHz. The urethane housing with fairing ensures optimal performance, and it uses the patented Xducer ID® technology. Chirp technology in this transducer shows 5 to 10 times greater detail and resolution than conventional frequencies. Specifications include an epoxy/urethane acoustic window, a 15 m (49') cable - length, bare wire connector, and a deadrise range up to 25° with fairing.

Using the Airmar R509C - LM is straightforward. First, make sure to mount it properly according to the deadrise range of your boat, which can be up to 25° with the fairing. Connect the bare wire cable to your compatible system. Once installed, turn on your device, and it will start sensing the depth and water temperature. When you're out fishing, the transducer will give you detailed information about what's beneath your boat. For maintenance, keep the urethane housing clean. You can use a mild soap and water solution to gently clean it. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the housing or the acoustic window. Check the cable regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the cable as soon as possible. Also, store the transducer in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion.
