PRE OWNED JRC JFE-570S JRC JFE-570S MARINE ECHO SOUNDER

The JRC JFE-570S is a robust, dual-frequency navigation echo sounder that has long been a staple on commercial vessels. In the Bhavnagar and Alang ship-supply markets, it is highly valued for its mechanical durability and its high-resolution paper-recording capability, which provides a permanent, physical record of a vessel's depth history.

JRC JFE-570S DUAL-FREQUENCY ECHO SOUNDER

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The JRC JFE-570S is an IMO-compliant echo sounder designed for precise depth sounding in both shallow and deep waters. It features a high-contrast digital depth display paired with a high-resolution dry-paper recorder. This combination allows bridge officers to view instantaneous digital depth while maintaining a continuous, hard-copy echogram of the seabed profile, which is often a requirement for specific maritime authorities and insurance standards.

The system is engineered for reliability, utilizing a dual-frequency transceiver (typically 50 kHz and 200 kHz) to ensure accurate sounding regardless of water temperature or salinity. The 200 kHz frequency provides excellent detail in ports and shallow coastal areas, while the 50 kHz frequency offers the power necessary to track the bottom in deep-sea environments. Its rugged construction makes it particularly suitable for the high-vibration environments of engine-forward vessels and large cargo ships.

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

-- Permanent Paper Record: Provides a physical echogram on dry thermal paper, ensuring a reliable backup of depth history that is immune to digital file corruption.

-- Dual-Frequency Versatility: Allows the operator to switch between 50 kHz for deep-sea penetration and 200 kHz for high-resolution shallow-water navigation.

-- High-Brightness LED Display: The dedicated digital display ensures the depth can be read from across the bridge, even in bright sunlight.

-- Adjustable Depth Alarms: Features a user-programmable shallow water alarm that provides critical warnings when the vessel enters hazardous depths.

-- Time and Position Stamping: When interfaced with a GPS via NMEA 0183, the recorder can print coordinates directly onto the paper for precise voyage documentation.

-- Rugged Modular Design: The internal components are organized into easy-to-service modules, which is a major benefit for maintenance in remote maritime locations.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Our refurbished JFE-570S units from the Alang yards undergo a comprehensive mechanical and electronic restoration. We focus heavily on the paper feed mechanism and the thermal stylus, ensuring the recording is sharp and clear. The Transceiver PCB is tested for output stability at both frequencies, and the digital LED display is checked for full segment clarity. Every unit is supplied with a fresh roll of recording paper and is bench-tested to verify NMEA output accuracy before leaving our Bhavnagar facility.
