Raymarine RVX1000 3D CHIRP Sonar Module, 1kW CHIRP, RealVision 3D

Overview

The Raymarine E70511 is the RVX1000 3D CHIRP black box sonar module for adding advanced fishfinding and bottom-imaging capability to a Raymarine multifunction display system. It combines RealVision 3D, CHIRP SideVision, CHIRP DownVision, high-frequency CHIRP, and up to 1 kW RMS CHIRP sonar output in one remotely mounted module, giving anglers and cruisers a wider view of fish, structure, bottom shape, and deeper water targets.

This module works on 12 V DC and 24 V DC vessel systems, with an operating voltage range of 10.8 V DC to 31.2 V DC and 10.4 W power consumption. The enclosure is rated IPX6 and IPX7, so it is suitable for protected marine mounting areas where spray, washdown moisture, vibration, and changing temperatures are part of normal boat use.

With a 1 kW transducer in suitable conditions, the RVX1000 supports depth readings up to 1,524 m or 5,000 ft. It also gives Raymarine eS and gS Series displays a strong sonar upgrade path, while pairing naturally with Axiom and Axiom Pro displays running compatible LightHouse software.

Key features

• Five sonar channels in one black box module: RealVision 3D, CHIRP SideVision, CHIRP DownVision, high-frequency CHIRP, and 1 kW CHIRP sonar.
• Up to 1 kW RMS sonar output for offshore fishing and deeper sounding when used with a compatible 1 kW transducer.
• Depth capability up to 1,524 m or 5,000 ft in optimum conditions with a 1 kW transducer.
• RayNet network connection for integration with compatible Raymarine multifunction displays.
• Two transducer connections, including a RealVision port and an 11-pin 1 kW transducer port.
• IPX6 and IPX7 water ingress rating for marine installation areas exposed to spray and washdown moisture.
• 10.8 V DC to 31.2 V DC operating range for use on 12 V and 24 V electrical systems.
• Sonar Scroll Back lets the operator pause, rewind, and review up to 10 minutes of sonar history before placing waypoints.
• TruZoom magnification helps show target detail without reducing image resolution.
• Compact black box format measures 299.4 mm wide, 188.0 mm high, and 84.4 mm deep for concealed mounting near power, network, and transducer cable runs.

Compatibility and fit

The RVX1000 is built for Raymarine systems using compatible Axiom, Axiom Pro, eS Series, and gS Series multifunction displays. It is a practical upgrade for boats that already have a Raymarine helm network and need more sonar capability without replacing the entire display setup.

Transducer selection matters with this module. RealVision transducers can connect to the 25-pin RealVision port, while compatible 1 kW CHIRP transducers connect through the 11-pin port. Some CPT-S, DownVision, and Airmar transducers require Raymarine adapter cables, so the transducer model and connector style should be checked before installation.

Installation and setup

The black box should be mounted in a dry, serviceable location with room for cable bends, ventilation, and access to the power, RayNet, and transducer connections. Good locations often include the electronics cabinet, helm console interior, or a protected equipment locker rather than an exposed deck area.

The unit uses a 5 A fuse and draws 2.4 A peak or 1.2 A RMS. Power wiring should follow normal marine electrical practice, with secure strain relief and routing that keeps sonar and network cables away from sources of interference where possible.

Use cases on board

This module is a good match for fishing boats and cruising boats that need clear structure views inshore and deeper sounding offshore. RealVision 3D, SideVision, and DownVision help when working reefs, ledges, wrecks, drop-offs, and channels, while the 1 kW CHIRP channel supports deeper water searching with the right transducer.

It also suits refits where the boat already has a compatible Raymarine display but needs modern sonar processing in a separate module. The dedicated processor helps run multiple sonar channels at the same time, which is useful when the skipper wants chart, sonar, and fishfinding views active during a run.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
