CONSILIUM E1 MARINE ECHO SOUNDER

The Consilium E1 is a high-performance navigation echo sounder that meets all IMO requirements for depth sounding equipment. It features a large, high-contrast digital display that provides real-time depth information, history logs, and draught adjustments. The system is designed to be user-friendly, with a straightforward menu system that allows officers to set shallow-water alarms and manage depth recording for legal compliance.

A key advantage of the E1 is its flexible transducer compatibility. It can be installed as a single or dual-frequency system (typically 50 kHz or 200 kHz), allowing for accurate bottom tracking in both shallow coastal waters and deep-sea environments. Its modular design ensures easy integration with other bridge equipment, such as VDRs and Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS), via standardized NMEA outputs.

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

-- High-Resolution Color Display: Provides a clear graphical representation of the seabed, making it easy to identify bottom characteristics and obstacles.

-- Draft Offset Capability: Allows the operator to manually enter the vessel’s current draught to display depth-below-keel or depth-below-surface.

-- Built-in 24-Hour Memory: Automatically records depth history, which can be reviewed on-screen to comply with navigational record-keeping requirements.

-- Dual Transducer Support: Can be configured to monitor depth at both the bow and stern, which is critical for large tankers and bulk carriers during docking or narrow channel transit.

-- Simplified Calibration: Features an easy-to-use menu for adjusting gain, pulse length, and power levels to suit the specific salinity and temperature of the local water.

-- Compact Flush Mount Design: The display unit is designed for space-efficient installation in modern consoles or as a standalone tabletop unit.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Our refurbished Consilium E1 units from the Alang ship-breaking yards undergo a strict bench-testing protocol. We verify the Transceiver PCB for signal strength and sensitivity across all frequencies. The LCD display is checked for backlight consistency and pixel integrity. We specifically test the NMEA output ports to ensure they are providing accurate DPT strings for VDR and ECDIS integration. Every unit is supplied with a factory-reset history log and is calibrated to standard gain settings.
