depth finder transducer frequency question
Hey! Great discussions. Thanks for the thoughtful inputs.
}}} Others have suggested ways to determine the resonant frequency, but that won't tell you how much peak power it will handle. I don't know how you can do that without destroying it. {{{ Guess and go by weight is the only clue I'd have on these unmarked ones. }}} If one can determine the Resonate Frequency of the transducer, then it would make sense to go ahead and hook up the sounder head. If it blows the tranducer your not really out anything since it would have to be replaced anyway, during the next haulout. {{{ Right on. Nothing to lose, really. Maybe something gained. |

Just a guess, but if the impedance is mis-matched, you could blow out the output stage of the unit. I'd be careful. -- Larry email is rapp at lmr dot com |

Henry,
It's called ultrasound when the application is audio. Regards, Ron I don't recieve e-mail at this address because of spam. E-mail me at crtsrATmsnDOTcom. |

Larry,
I don't believe the power rating would be tied to the failure level. More than likely it is tide to the temperature rise in a specified ambient. If I were working with such a device on the bench, I would monitor temp so it did not exceed a reasonable rise. Regards, Ron I don't recieve e-mail at this address because of spam.
