1.12 How to Use the Tilt Controls
You can adjust the tilt angle with the TILT knob. Depending on the display mode in
use, the changing the tilt affects the echo differently.
The current tilt setting always appears at the top-center of the display, which gives you
a clear image of the angle for the scan beam.
1.12.1 Tilt control for horizontal modes
The tilt angle is the direction in which the ultrasonic wave is emitted. A tilt angle of 0°
is horizontal and an angle of 90° is vertical. You can change the tilt angle depending
on your needs by using the
TILT knob.
When the tilt angle is changed, the selected angle appears at the top-center of the
screen for a few seconds. The selected angle is always visible at the top-right of the
echo screen.
1.12.2 Tilt control for vertical mode
The tile angle, in vertical mode, adjusts the angle for the beam center. A tilt angle of
0° is vertical and an angle of 90° is horizontal. You can change the tilt angle depending
on your needs by using the
TILT knob.
When the tilt angle is changed, the selected angle appears at the top-center of the
screen for a few seconds. The selected angle is always visible at the top-right of the
echo screen.
1.12.3 Tilt control for echo sounder mode
You can point the transducer in any direction between the bottom of the ship (90°) and
to the front of the ship (0°).
To change the title angle, rotate the TILT control. The tilt is adjusted in 1° increments
and the selected angle appears at the top-center of the echo display area for a few
seconds.
