    1-3. HANDLING OF TRANSDUCER AND WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR WARNING Work on the board is too unstable and risky. Installation and maintenance of transducer and water temperature sensor should be done after you land and fix the boat. Unless you keep it, human damage resulting in death or serious wound will occur.

  • Page 9: Caution On Operation

    1-5. CAUTION ON OPERATION Be sure to put the power switch off when you start to run the engine! When the engine starts to run, voltage of battery varies heavily. It may influence to the unit. Be sure to put the power switch of the unit off when you start to run the engine.
  • Page 10 2. GENERAL IMFORATION OF ECHO SOUNDER/FISH FINDER THEORY OF ECHO SOUNDER/FISH FINDER Theory of echo sounder/fish finder is same as echo. Ultrasonic pulses transmitted from the transducer into the water are reflected from fish school or the sea bottom and then they are received by transducer. Echo sounder/fish finder converts round-trip time between the time and the ultrasonic wave is transmitted and the time the reflected wave is received into distance and measures the depth It displays size or density of fish school, the outline of bottom or...
  • Page 11 HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE FISH SCHOOL Important is comparison between display of fish school and catch It is possible to distinguish the fish sort by display of fish school to some extent. But even if fish sort is same, it’s form making school is different according to difference of fishing ground and difference of time (day and night, four seasons, variation of current).
  • Page 12 HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE NATURE OF BOTTOM In case you distinguish the nature of bottom, you judge from the thickness of bottom image and the situation of second reflection. At the hard bottom like rock, reflection of transmitted wave becomes strong and bottom image becomes thick and the second reflection becomes easily to appear.

    14-3. CLUTTER KEY Clutter [Clutter] Fish school or bottom is displayed while the strength of reflected echo is corresponded with pre-set color configuration. As this can delete colors in turn from color of weakest echo, it will be enable to distinguish this school easily be deleting the weak echoes like plankton, stain in the water or etc.
