The Simrad S3009 is updated for BAM compliance

Software version 2.0.0-57.5.42 was recently released for the update of Simrad S3009 professional color Navigation Echosounder. This latest software update allows certification under the new IEC standard IEC 62923-1:2018, which outlines operational and performance requirements for connection to Bridge Alert Management (BAM) systems.

Systems using previous software versions are not considered certified anymore and as such their use onboard SOLAS vessels is not approved. Nevertheless, updated certification applicable for updated systems is already completed and available. Systems with older software can be very easily updated to the latest software and EU Directive requirements, even while onboard. The latest software is available online for download or in physical form (SD-card) from the extensive global network of Simrad Professional Support Centers.

In all cases, Simrad S3009 Navigation Echosounders must be installed, connected, verified, and tested according to Installation & Operation Manual for their certifications to be valid.
