PANOPTIX™ PS51-TH: Forward-Looking Sonar for Grounding Avoidance
The Panoptix™ PS51-TH is a premium thru-hull transducer designed to enhance navigational safety. Featuring **FrontVü forward-looking sonar**, this unit helps you avoid running aground by displaying the bottom contour up to **91 meters (300 feet) ahead** of your boat in real time. It delivers nearly instant feedback, giving you crucial time to react when navigating shallow or unfamiliar Australian waters.
PREMIUM FRONTVÜ™ AND LIVEVÜ™ FORWARD
The PS51-TH utilizes a multibeam phased array to generate both real-time forward views for safety and LiveVü targets for fishing applications.
KEY SONAR & SAFETY FEATURES
- FrontVü Safety Sonar: Displays the bottom ahead of your boat up to 300 feet (at 8 to 10 times the current depth), providing instant navigational feedback. Effectiveness decreases above 8 knots.
- LiveVü Forward: See fish—even divers—swimming in real time under and ahead of your boat with a **100-foot forward range**, whether your boat is moving or stationary.
- Narrow Beam Design: The focused 20-degree narrow beam eliminates confusion by prioritizing the bottom directly in front of the boat, enhancing confidence in navigation.
- Image Stabilization: Includes an Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) sensor for motion stabilization, ensuring a clear view even in rough water conditions.
