8. TCG Control
This function is optimized for high power output sonar sys-
tem. It enables the sonar to work correctly in a noisy envi-
ronment.
The sensitivity is automatically changed in different depths.
The diagram below shows the sensitivity changes according
to depth. This is done to control the surface noise and self-
ring of the transducer.
Note: on the diagram, the TCG function only controls the signal
between 0~5 meters. If the environment is noisy, and you want
to see the underwater conditions in the shallower layer near
0~5m, the TCG Control must be set on “On”.In air, the signal
consumption is much bigger than in water. If you try to test the
sonar sensitivity in the air, the TCG Control must be set on “Off”.
