Simrad ES38-10

38 kHz split-beam transducer with 10 degrees beamwidth

The Simrad ES38-10 is a split-beam transducer of medium size, designed for fishery and ocean science applications. The beamwidth is 10 degrees at an operational frequency of 38 kHz. The transducer is designed with three separate sectors. Transducers manufactured later than 2021 also includes a sensor to measure the sea temperature.

Designed for fishery and ocean science applications

Split-beam technology elevates the Simrad ES38-10 beyond conventional transducers, ensuring precision in fishery and ocean science applications. The notable inclusion of a sea temperature sensor in models post-2021 adds an extra layer of environmental data collection. Installation flexibility is highlighted with the capability to be mounted flush on the hull or drop keel, complete with a robust clamping ring and flange for secure integration.

Efficient design for reliable operations

The Simrad ES38-10 is not just about advanced data collection. It's also built for practicality. Optimized for user convenience, this transducer is engineered for ease of installation with all necessary mounting hardware included. Cable management is addressed through thoughtful design, avoiding undue stress and ensuring the transducer operates at its peak. Order information and options can be seamlessly obtained through a well-supported dealer network, ensuring efficient procurement and service.

Installation principles

The transducer is normally mounted flush with the hull plating or the bottom of a blister. It is provided with an installation flange, and by means of a clamping ring, it is secured to a mounting ring welded into the hull plating or the bottom of a blister. The clamping ring is provided with the transducer and already fitted. 
The transducer can also be flush mounted at the bottom of a drop keel.
The transducer cable penetrates the hull using a stuffing tube and a cable gland.
