Max Depth
(Advanced)
Max Depth
adjusts the maximum depth of operation. The performance of
your 900 Series™ can be tuned to the maximum depth you will be fishing in
by setting the Max Depth. When a maximum depth is set, your 900 Series™
will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth, thus increasing
overall performance.
NOTE:
Max Depth controls the down beam reading. The SI Range (Side Imaging
Range) controls the side beams and down beam reading at the same time. If SI
Range is set to a deeper range than the Max Depth setting, your 900 Series
TM
will
default to the SI Range setting. For example, if you set the Max Depth to 50 feet
and then set the SI Range to 150 feet, your 900 Series
TM
will acquire bottom
readings from 150 feet (see
Side Imaging X-Press
TM
Menu: SI Range
).
When Max Depth is set to Auto, the 900 Series™ will acquire bottom readings
as needed (within the capacity of the unit). If the bottom is deeper than the
Max Depth setting, the digital depth readout will flash, indicating that the 900
Series™ cannot locate the bottom. The Max Depth menu choice is available
when User Mode is set to Advanced (see
Setup Menu Tab: User Mode
).
To change the Max Depth setting:
1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Max
Depth on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the
Max Depth setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet; 3 to 500 meters
[International models only]
, Default = AUTO)
Water Type
(Advanced)
Water Type
configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. The
Water Type menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced
(see
Setup Menu Tab: User Mode
).
NOTE:
In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10
times bigger than a large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you
are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size
adjustment to account for this. Also, make sure that the Water Type is set
accurately, especially in salt water, as this affects the accuracy of deep water
depth readings.
To change the Water Type setting:
1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Water
Type on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the
Water Type setting. (Fresh, Salt, Default = Fresh)
