GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FL-8SE is a compact
and lightweight depth sounder
designed for serious anglers.
Besides indicating depth, the
unit also shows changes in
bottom content and conditions.
It can also discriminate between
large underwater targets, such
as fish, and smaller targets such
as bait fish and plankton.
The unit transmits bursts of
high frequency pulses, which
are converted from electrical to
mechanical energy by the transducer. These "sound" pulses radiate from
the transducer downward and are reflected back up to the transducer
where the energy is converted back to electrical signals. The FL-8SE then
processes these signals and displays them.
The circular display is accomplished by attaching an LED (Light
Emitting Diode) to a wheel, which is then spun at a high speed in the
clockwise direction. This allows for an extremely high speed update.
The bottom, as well as other targets, can be displayed as red, orange, or
green to indicate strong, medium and weak signals respectively. The
FL-8SE also has patented Interference Rejection (IR) Technology. This
lets the user "filter out" unwanted interference from another nearby depth
sounder. With two models available, deep and shallow, and a wide
variety of accessories to choose from, the Vexilar FL-8SE is a powerful
tool for today’s angler.

Beam Angle:
If your transducer is not marked, you can determine the beam angle
by the dimensions of the transducer face. Measure the shortest distance
across the face of the transducer. 19˚ puck and Ice-Ducer transducers mea-
sure about 1 1/2”. 9º and dual beam transducers will be about 2 1/2”
across the face.
