The new CA82B-35R transducer from Furuno offers a technological advantage not found in other transducers. Its robust ceramic element uses true broadband technology. Simply put, “broadband” describes the ability of a transmitting and receiving element (a transceiver, or in this case the transducer) to operate on a much broader frequency spectrum than traditional, fixed-frequency models. The CA82B-35R frequency response enables the owner to finely tune a Furuno FCV295 or FCV1150 to ANY operating frequency between 65 and 110 kHz at a full 2000 watts output (2KW). With these non-traditional frequencies, you can dial in the sweet spot on the transducer and fish free of all interference from other sounders in your area!
This single fiberglass (FRP) transducer offers completely flexible frequency output on two channels for both the Low and High inputs on our FCV295 and FCV1150 FFS (Furuno Free Synthesizer) Transceiver echosounders. It’s literally like getting two transducers in one! The low profile round face and FRP housing of the transducer make installation on any fiberglass hull a snap, whether in a traditional tank-mount or glassed in to the face of the hull. Tank or keel-shoe mounting is easy on metal hulls as well.
The CA82B-35R is a new transducer with a wide bandwidth of 65kHz-110kHz, and is useable with the FCV292*, FCV1100, FCV1200 and BBFF3. When used with the FCV1100/1200, sensitivity remains high even if the frequency is shifted +/- 10% to suppress interference.
The CA82B-35R may be installed in the tank of the CA88B-10 or CA100B-10R. When retrofitting these or other transducers, the directional pattern and sidelobe characteristics of the beam will be different, and therefore the sounder image may differ from previous installations.
