General Information
T
hank you for your selection of the
Interphase iScan V90
Forward Scanning Sonar. The
iScan V90’s ruggedly built,
compact design makes it ideal for installation on nearly any
boat. It will display water depth, bottom conditions and
submerged objects such as fish, or objects in your path, on its
high resolution display. The
iScan V90 is available with either
a thru-hull or two transom-mount scanning sonar depth
transducers.
To ensure that you receive the maximum benefits available
from the outstanding features of the
Interphase iScan V90,
please carefully follow the steps outlined in this manual. An
instructive demonstration simulator has been designed into the
iScan V90 and we highly recommend that you spend some
time using the demo mode prior to actual use of the unit. We
also recommend that you read this entire manual before
attempting to either install or operate your
iScan V90.

WARNING
Navigation based solely on one method or
one instrument should never be practiced.
While the iScan V90 can be quite useful in
showing underwater structure and changing
bottom conditions both below and in front
of your vessel, there are many situations
and conditions which can cause erroneous
or distorted readings.
In addition, there are many situations that
can cause “blind spots” in the iScan V90’s
field of view including the presence of
temperature inversion layers (thermoclines),
water turbulence, and high concentrations
of suspended particles in the water.
While the iScan V90 can be considered as a
useful aid to navigation, it should never be
the only means of navigation.
