Description

12.1″ Dual-Frequency Searchlight Sonar – Model CH-600

Product Description
The FURUNO CH-600 is a 12.1-inch dual-frequency searchlight sonar engineered for professional fishing and marine operations requiring precise underwater detection and real-time target visualization. Designed for optimal performance in both shallow and deep waters, the CH-600 allows operators to simultaneously monitor two frequencies, providing detailed and versatile information about fish schools, seabed structures, and underwater conditions.

Built with Furuno’s advanced sonar technology, the CH-600 delivers sharp, high-definition images, intuitive control, and durable construction — making it an essential tool for commercial fishing vessels and research applications.

Key Features

• Dual-Frequency Operation (60 kHz and 153 kHz) – View both frequencies simultaneously for comprehensive underwater analysis.

• 12.1″ High-Resolution Color LCD Display – Provides clear and bright images, even under direct sunlight.

• Full-Circle Scanning (360°) – Continuously scans the surrounding area for fish and obstacles in real time.

• Automatic Target Tracking (A-Scope and Tracking) – Displays target movement, direction, and depth for efficient fishing operations.

• Beam Stabilization – Maintains accurate imaging even in rough seas or during vessel pitching and rolling.

• Vertical and Horizontal Display Modes – Enables flexible observation of seabed structures and fish schools.

• Compact Transducer Hoist Unit – Simplified installation with durable, corrosion-resistant construction.
