• Scale
—controls the appearance of the depth scale shown
vertically along the right side of the graph. You can configure
the depth scale to appear in one of four different ways: as an
Overlay
, in the
Corners
,
Basic
, or
No Scale
.
•
Water
Temperature Number
and
Water Speed Number
—
hides or shows temperature and water speed on the Sonar
Page. When set to
Auto
, the unit automatically shows this
information, only if it is received from the transducer.
•
Color Scheme
—sets the colors for the Sonar and Flasher
Pages.
NOTE:
If the unit is unable to track the bottom for any reason,
the digits in the depth window flash on and off to alert you that
the unit is not tracking the bottom.
Transducer Coverage
The area covered by the transmitted sound waves is determined
by the cone angle of the transducer and the water depth. The wide
cone angles (40°) associated with low frequencies (50 kHz/80kHz)
provide a large coverage area for finding fish within a coverage
width that is approximately 2/3 of the water depth. However, this
also means that wide cone angles produce less bottom detail and
resolution. As shown in the drawing on
, the 40° cone angle
produces a coverage area of approximately a 20-foot diameter
circle at a 30-foot depth.
The narrow cone angles (10°) associated with the high frequencies
(200 kHz) provide better bottom resolution and crisper detail, but
cannot show a large coverage area for finding fish. The 10° cone
angle provides a coverage width that is approximately 2/10 of the
water depth. As shown in the drawing on the far right, the 10° cone
angle produces a coverage area of approximately a 6-foot diameter
circle at a 30-foot depth.
Dual frequency or dual beam modes combine both frequencies to
get the best coverage area and contour/depth readings.
