To identify an Airmar transducer, you can look for a label attached to its cable, near the top of the transducer. This label should contain information such as the transducer model, serial number, and frequency. Additionally, you can cross-reference the transducer on Airmar’s website using the model and serial number to confirm its identity.
How do I find out what transducer I have?
To find out what transducer you have, you can look at the transducer cable and read the product ID printed on the tag. If the transducer was manufactured by Airmar, the product ID will be printed clearly on the transducer. Additionally, you can look at the manual of your fish finder unit, which should contain information about the transducer. You can also look up the model of your fish finder online to see what transducer it comes with.
What is an XID transducer?
XID (Transducer Identification) is a device communications bus system designed by Airmar Technology Corp., US to enable an echosounder to identify the type of transducer connected to it. XID transducers are equipped with an embedded microchip that sends out a signal containing the transducer’s identification data, such as its date of manufacture and type. This data is then read by the echosounder, allowing it to make the necessary adjustments to the sounder’s performance. XID transducers are used in many sonar systems for recreational and commercial fishing, marine navigation, and other applications.
Is Airmar still in business?
Yes, Airmar is still in business. Founded in 1982 by founder & President Stephen Boucher, Airmar has grown from a niche transducer business to a distinguished forerunner in the maritime industry. Airmar is currently a family-owned business that manufactures advanced ultrasonic transducers, level and pressure sensors, and other related products for marine and industrial applications.
What are transducers types?
Transducers are devices that can convert energy from one form to another. The most common types of transducers are mechanical transducers, electrical transducers, piezoelectric transducers, and magnetic field transducers. Mechanical transducers are used to convert physical quantities into mechanical outputs or vice versa, while electrical transducers are used to convert electrical signals into mechanical energy or vice versa. Piezoelectric transducers convert mechanical energy into electrical signals, while magnetic field transducers convert magnetic fields into electrical signals. Other types of transducers include temperature transducers, pressure transducers, and acoustic transducers.
