ECHO SOUNDER
SIMRAD
Refurbished
The SIMRAD S2009 and S2016 are dedicated marine echo sounder / fish-finder displays developed for reliable underwater target and bottom detection.
The equipment shown in the supplied photograph is clearly marked SIMRAD S2009. The screen is operating in depth-sounder mode and displays functions such as Range, Zoom, Gain, Color, Draft and Depth Alarm.
SIMRAD officially describes the S2009 as a dedicated fish finder with an integrated CHIRP-enabled sounder and 9-inch portrait display. The S2016 uses the same S2000-series concept with a larger 16-inch widescreen display.
Manufacturer: SIMRAD / Navico
Product Family: S2000 Series
Main Model Shown: S2009
Related Model: S2016
Product Type: Marine Echo Sounder / Fish Finder
Display: 9-inch portrait display on S2009
Technology: Integrated Broadband Sounder / CHIRP
Marine Application: Depth measurement, bottom detection and underwater target detection
The S2009 combines a dedicated display and built-in echo sounder into a compact marine unit.
Unlike a basic depth indicator, it provides a graphical representation of the water column and seabed, allowing the operator to evaluate bottom structure and underwater targets.
SIMRAD specifies a 480 × 800 pixel, high-brightness 9-inch portrait display with an integrated CHIRP-capable sounder.
This vertical screen layout is particularly useful because it provides substantial vertical space for viewing the water column.
• Integrated CHIRP-enabled echo sounder
• Broadband Sounder technology
• High depth penetration
• High ping speed
• Vertical heave compensation
• Automatic and manual gain control
• Automatic range control
• White Line function
• White Marker function
• Colour Erase function
• Dedicated menu keys
• Rotary control
• High-brightness marine display
• Ethernet connectivity
• NMEA 0183 support
• NMEA 2000 connectivity
• Bracket or flush mounting
SIMRAD's official catalogue identifies these as core S2000-series features.
Display Size: 9-inch portrait
Resolution: 480 × 800 pixels
Brightness: 1200 cd/m²
Supply Voltage: 12/24 VDC, operating range 10.8–31.2 VDC
Power Consumption: Approximately 11 W
Water Protection: IPX7
Operating Temperature: -15°C to +55°C
Weight: Approximately 2 kg
Dimensions: 224 × 260 × 61 mm
Networking: Ethernet, NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000
SIMRAD also specifies a sounder output power of 1 kW for the S2009.
One of the important features of the S2009/S2016 is CHIRP sonar technology.
Rather than relying only on a traditional single-frequency pulse, CHIRP technology can provide improved:
• Target separation
• Bottom definition
• Image clarity
• Underwater-object identification
SIMRAD states that its implementation can also provide CHIRP functionality with certain traditional single-frequency transducers, making the S2000 series useful for retrofit applications.
The transducer is one of the most important parts of any echo sounder installation.
SIMRAD states that the S2009 provides a plug-and-play connection for compatible Simrad and Airmar transducers using the blue seven-pin connector, with adapters available for some other transducer types.
Depending on the exact sounder and transducer configuration, marine applications may use different frequencies and CHIRP ranges.
Before replacing a transducer, always verify:
Transducer Model
Frequency
Connector Type
Power Rating
Installation Type
Existing Cable Arrangement
The S2009 is not limited to standalone depth measurement.
SIMRAD supports:
Ethernet – sonar information can be shared with compatible Simrad displays.
NMEA 2000 – allows integration with compatible vessel-navigation sensors and equipment.
NMEA 0183 – provides conventional marine serial-data integration.
SIMRAD specifically lists support for depth-related sentences including DBT and DPT, along with position, heading, speed and other navigation information.
The two models use the same general S2000-series echo sounder concept.
SIMRAD S2009
9-inch portrait display
SIMRAD S2016
16-inch widescreen display
Both were marketed with integrated Broadband Sounder/CHIRP capability, high depth penetration, direct-access controls and marine networking.
The larger S2016 display provides more horizontal viewing area, while the S2009's portrait layout is useful where bridge-console space is limited.
For broader SEO coverage, SIMRAD marine sonar equipment also includes products and families such as:
S2009
S2016
S5100 Sounder Module
SonarHub
SIMRAD CHIRP Sounder Systems
SIMRAD / Airmar Compatible Transducers
The S5100, for example, is a high-performance CHIRP sonar module with three fully independent channels.
This means SM MARINE SERVICE™ can target not only S2009 searches, but also customers looking for SIMRAD echo sounder displays, sonar modules, transducers and replacement parts.
SIMRAD echo sounders can be used on:
• Commercial Vessels
• Cargo Ships
• Fishing Vessels
• Offshore Support Vessels
• Workboats
• Survey Boats
• Tugs
• Patrol Craft
• Other marine vessels requiring underwater depth or target information
The supplied image itself displays a “Depth missing – This unit” alert.
When this occurs, inspect:
• Transducer connection
• Transducer cable
• Connector condition
• Correct transducer selection/configuration
• Sounder settings
• Transducer installation
• Sounder electronics
If the unit is being tested on a workshop bench without a connected/operating transducer in water, a missing-depth indication can also be expected.
Check:
• Transducer condition
• Frequency/configuration
• Gain setting
• Range setting
• Transducer cable
• Installation position
Possible causes include incorrect gain, unsuitable transducer settings, damaged transducer, cable losses or poor transducer installation.
If menus and screen functions operate normally but no depth is displayed, focus first on the transducer and sounder signal path rather than immediately replacing the display.
The supplied screen also shows a “No time source” alert.
Check the connected navigation-data source and NMEA/network configuration when the installation requires external time information.
Check:
• Ethernet connection
• NMEA 2000 network
• NMEA 0183 wiring
• Device configuration
• Network power and termination
• Inspect the transducer regularly.
• Check transducer cable for physical damage.
• Keep connectors dry and corrosion-free.
• Check depth reading against known water depth.
• Verify draft offset settings.
• Test shallow-water and depth alarms.
• Inspect NMEA connections.
• Keep the display and ventilation area clean.
• Check software/configuration before replacing hardware.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ can support sourcing of SIMRAD echo sounder equipment and spare parts depending on availability.
Typical requirements include:
• Complete SIMRAD Echo Sounder
• S2009 Display
• S2016 Display
• S5100 Sounder Module
• Sonar Modules
• Transducers
• CHIRP Transducers
• Airmar Transducers
• Transducer Cables
• Transducer Adapters
• Keypad Components
• Rotary Control Parts
• LCD / Display Components
• Main PCB
• Processor PCB
• Sounder Board
• Power Supply Components
• Ethernet Components
• NMEA Interface Parts
• Mounting Brackets

Replacing only a faulty display, transducer, sounder module, PCB or cable can often be much more economical than changing the complete bridge installation.
Existing vessel installations may already have:
• Transducer cabling
• Hull-mounted transducer
• NMEA connections
• Network cabling
• Bridge console cut-out
• Power wiring
Therefore, compatible replacement parts can save installation time and reduce vessel downtime.
