EchoPilot FLS Bronze Echo Sounder
For boats with not enough space (or budget!) to fit the FLS Silver or Gold EchoPilots new FLS Bronze Echo Sounder is the perfect solution. Housed in a 110 mm square case, the marine industry standard size, the Bronze will fit neatly into any existing line up of instruments. Forward looking technology in a space no larger than an old fashioned digital sounder.
The maximum forward range is 100 metres (or the equivalent in feet) and the ranges are 20m, 60m and 100m for the optimum view in different situations. The boat icon is set at 8m to give a convenient reference point when judging forward distances. The alarm settings are 2m or 4m and selection "alarms" the appropriate section of the screen right up to the maximum 100m forward range.
The newly designed custom display uses the latest LCD technology to provide a detailed view of the seabed terrain within a screen of 126 by 64 pixels. LED backlighting gives clear night time visibility.
Simple digital sounders show historical data, they may show a depth which is 10 to 15 seconds out of date and represents the seabed your boat passed over a hundred metres ago. The digital depth on the FLS Bronze Echo Sounder is an average of the first one third of the screen ahead and so is far closer to the reality of what is under your boat right now.
Unique to the Echopilot FLS Bronze Echo Sounder is EchoPilots new depth memory feature. Seabed profile below and behind the boat icon is now shown on screen in addition to the forward view. On the 100 metre range the Bronze displays 100m forward and 25 metres behind.
The FLS Bronze Echo Sounder has simple 2 button control, one to select and scroll the menu and the other to change the items chosen. Range change is either automatic or with one touch of the right hand button. The slimline case is designed for flush mounting in the smartest instrument panel, pod or bulkhead. The exposed front of the instrument is waterproof.
