Product Description
Key Features at a Glance:
- Advanced 2D Sonar: Exclusively features Humminbird's premier Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar for best-in-class performance.
- High-Wide CHIRP Element: The "HW" designation means this transducer delivers crisp, well-defined fish arches, excellent target separation, and two distinct sonar modes for searching or precision targeting.
- Accurate Temperature Sensing: A built-in, fast-response temperature sensor provides critical surface water temperature readings to your fish finder display.
- Robust Transom Mount: Features a durable composite design and includes a rugged, impact-release mounting bracket to protect the transducer from underwater obstacles.
- Complete Installation Kit: Ships with a 20-foot cable and all the stainless steel hardware required for a secure and straightforward transom installation.
The Power of Dual Spectrum CHIRP Technology
The XNT 9 HW T moves beyond the limitations of single-frequency sonar. Instead of transmitting a single pulse, its Dual Spectrum CHIRP technology sweeps through a continuous range of high frequencies (150-220 kHz). This process gathers significantly more information, resulting in a sonar return that is richer in detail and far less cluttered.
Key benefits include:
- Clearly Defined Fish Arches: See fish as distinct, long arches, making them easy to differentiate from surrounding structure or bait balls.
- Incredible Target Separation: See individual fish, even when they are positioned closely together or holding tight to the bottom.
- Reduced Noise: CHIRP technology naturally filters out interference, providing a cleaner on-screen view.
Anglers have full control with two unique CHIRP modes:
- Wide Mode (140-200 kHz): Uses a wide cone angle to scan the largest possible area, making it perfect for searching new water and locating schools of fish quickly.
- Narrow Mode (180-240 kHz): Uses a tight, concentrated beam for maximum detail. This mode is ideal for picking out individual fish within structure or for precise vertical jigging presentations.
Primary Compatible Models
The XNT 9 HW T is the official, factory-supplied transducer for Humminbird HELIX models that feature Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar but do not have Down Imaging (DI) or Side Imaging (SI). It is engineered to provide these specific units with their full 2D sonar capabilities.
This transducer is standard equipment for models including:
- HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3
- HELIX 7 CHIRP GPS G3
- HELIX 7 CHIRP GPS G3N
- HELIX 7 CHIRP GPS G4
- HELIX 7 CHIRP GPS G4N
Crucial Compatibility Information: This is a 2D sonar transducer only. It does not contain the necessary internal components to generate Down Imaging or Side Imaging sonar beams. If your Humminbird fish finder model name includes "DI" or "SI" (e.g., HELIX 7 CHIRP DI GPS G4N), you require a different transducer model to use those imaging features. This transducer will only provide 2D sonar functionality.
