The Wide Paramount has the ability to positively identify a Tri-beam transducer. If this identification is
made, the unit operates normally with no further input from the user. If a transducer other than the Tri-
beam transducer is connected, the Wide Paramount will assume this transducer is a Wide Side
transducer (available as an accessory) and the screen layout will change automatically to show the Wide
Side display.
In the event that a non-standard transducer other than the Wide Side is connected (Dual Beam), the user
must manually identify this transducer so that the Wide Paramount can interpret the information received.
Once this identification is made, the unit defaults to this setting whenever a non-standard transducer is
detected.
The Transducer Option menu provides four options: Auto, Tri-beam, Side and Dual. Note: if two non-
standard transducers are connected to the Wide Paramount through a transducer switch, the Transducer
Options menu must be used to manually identify which transducer is in use, as the Wide Paramount
cannot identify non-standard transducers.
Once the transducer selection is made, use the MENU button to advance to the next Option.
The transducer setting is remembered when the unit is powered off.
Display Speed
Display Speed controls the rate at which the graphic information moves across the display. There are 5
possible speeds; the fastest rate (5) is the factory setting. If your boat is stationary or moving very slowly
for extended periods, it may be desirable to update the display at a slower rate. The closer the update
rate matches boat speed, the more accurate is the graphic depiction of the terrain beneath your boat.
Use the UP and DOWN ARROWS to select the desired update rate. (1) is the slowest, (5) is the fastest.
Use the MENU button to advance to the next menu.
The Display Speed setting is remembered when the unit is powered off.
Menu Timing
The amount of time a menu remains on-screen after the last button is pressed is variable. The default is 3
seconds. Users new to the menu system may select a longer time, (up to 5 seconds) and experienced
users may select a shorter time.
Menu timing is remembered after power is disconnected. Press MENU to advance to the next option.
Depth Offset
Depth offset allows the user to select the point on the boat from which the depth measurement is made.
Selecting a positive value adds distance to the measurement. If the transducer is mounted 3 feet beneath
the waterline, a positive 3 will show the correct depth from the surface of the water.
Another frequent use of depth offset is to show the depth beneath the deepest point of the hull. A
negative value equal to the distance from the transducer location and the deepest point of the hull will
have the same effect as mounting the transducer at the deepest point.
Depth offset is remembered after power is disconnected. Press MENU to advance to the next option.
Speed Offset
Speed Offset allows the user to compensate for differences in hull design, and its effect on the accuracy
of the speed measurement. If there is a discrepancy between the indicated speed and another speed
measurement device on the boat, the speed measurement can be varied to improve accuracy.
Remember, the speed paddle wheel measures speed through the water, not speed over ground.
Speed offset is remembered after power is disconnected. Press MENU to advance to the next option.
