Features

A Truly Different Technology
The ultimate fishfinder/echo-sounder module for professional users and deepwater anglers.

The Simrad BSM-2 introduces fresh advances in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and frequency sweeping pulse
compression (CHIRP) technology. The ability to transmit a longer pulse combined with the improved DSP and CHIRP
capabilities not only delivers amazing mid-water range (300-600?) resolution, but also enables the Simrad BSM-2 to
penetrate to depths of 10,000 ft and reveal precisely defined individual targets at all ranges in unprecedented
detail. These innovations offer serious sport fishing anglers fine grained pictures with individual fish picked out
both near the bottom and underwater features, and throughout the water column.

The first such fishfinder to demonstrate the benefits of CHIRP, the Simrad BSM-2 utilizes both new broadband and
existing narrowband transducers to their fullest potential. Put simply, the Simrad BSM-2 Broadband Sounder offers a
leap forward in performance and an unbeatable advantage...at every depth.

The Simrad BSM-2 is fitted with dual transceivers and uses two separate transducers to transmit simultaneously on
high and low frequencies. The longer pulse is transmitted for greater depth penetration, and as it requires less
power than a higher frequency signal it makes less noise. The result is a ?whisper? into the water that locates the
fish without disturbing them. The higher frequency signal gives even finer detail at shallow to mid-water depths.
Users with broadband transducers can select from a range of frequencies to best suit the conditions in which they
are fishing.

CHIRP maximizes the sensitivity and resolution of the sonar system by modifying the frequency of the transmitted
pulses to improve their auto-correlation properties. The return signals, already superior to those generated by
conventional sounders, are then processed by the new DSP software and displayed in ultra-sharp detail on the display
unit.

The combination of extremely efficient pulse generation and advanced digital processing has created a system that
will outperform any 3kW system, and with lower power consumption and decreased noise.

The Simrad BSM-2 has dual transceivers and is fitted with two depth transducer ports (low and high frequency), as
well as supporting two independent temperature sensors. The unit operates at maximum capability with high
performance Airmar broadband transducers supporting 25-45kHz, 40-60kHz, or 130-210kHz options. It is also compatible
with existing 28/38/50/200KHz BSM-1 narrowband transducers with 5K/10K thermistors and a provided cable adapter, and
Simrad Combi-C transducers. CHIRP is not enabled with these last two installations.
The dual port configuration options are as follows:

    CHIRP #1: 130- 210Khz or 40-60Khz
    CHIRP #2: 40-60Khz or 25-45Khz
    Narrowband #1: 200Khz or 50Khz
    Narrowband #2: 50Khz, 38Khz or 28kHz
