Fish Finder – Sonar RFI Kit
Fish Finders/Sonar units can cause RFI “noise” in other electronic devices on a boat including audio and video systems, radar, SSB, wind/speed/depth instruments, etc. Likewise other electronic devices can also interfere with the fish finder and cause erroneous depth/temperature readings.
Palomar Engineers has developed a simple to install fish finder/sonar RFI suppression kit to solve the RFI noise problem aboard recreational and commercial boats.
Just slip a split bead on the transducer cable (1" ID) and use the 5 1/2" ID split beads on the fish finder/sonar readout unit transducer input and DC cables. Use the extra ferrites on other equipment needing protection like the Radar, radio, etc.

Christmas lights or yard lights with switching DC power supplies are often the RFI source and a clamp on ferrite bead on the AC AND the DC side feeding the lights is needed to help suppress the switching power supply RFI noise. Suitable snap on beads are FSB31-1/2 for the 1-250 MHz range.
We have also had reported wireless HDTV boxes, and FOSCAM and AMCREST security camera systems causing RFI to garage door remote openers. Use our Garage Door Opener RFI kit to suppress the interference to the opener (VICTIM) – you need one kit for each opener. Maximize the distance from the camera to the openers may also help. Additionally shield cable to the garage door sensors may be needed depending on severity of the camera RFI.
Obvious Tech Note: make sure your remote batteries have enough energy to activate the GDO or the signal they transmit may not be large enough to over ride the RFI signal, but a fresh battery may be able to overcome the weak RFI source and allow the GDO to operate correctly.
