How do I install airmar transducer?
Transducer placement should be aft and close to the centerline. It needs to be located low enough that the transducer is in the water at all times. Consider items such as the lifting strap placement into the location as well as trailer bunks and rollers if it is a trailered vessel.
How do you test an airmar transducer?
Simply install AIRMAR’s SensorCheck app on your wireless iOS or Android device, connect to the TDT1000 and get started. Test transducers that operate at frequencies ranging from 25 kHz to 500 kHz. Test temperature thermistor operation. Accurately test both conventional and Chirp-ready transducers.

Does Garmin ClearVu show fish?
ClearVü CHIRP Sonar Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar gives you a nearly photographic, wide image below your boat. With ClearVü, you clearly see structure, submerged objects and fish. Garmin SideVü scanning sonar shows you detailed images of fish and structure on both sides of your boat.
Is ClearVu down imaging?
In 2014, Garmin began shipping their version of down-scanning technology called DownVu™. That brings us to ClearVu™, which is now marketed as Garmin’s side- and down-scanning solution. ClearVu™ does not infringe on the Navico U.S. patents, because it does not include a down-facing element in the transducer.
Can you test a transducer in a bucket of water?
No, you can’t use a fish finder out of water, because the transducer is unable to send or receive sonar signals in air. In other words, the transducer will not work outside of water, and needs to be properly submerged into water in order to function.
