stronger echo against a high frequency rather than a low frequency. This is done as below.  
1. If a high frequency echo is stronger than the corresponding echo on the low frequency, the  
high frequency echo is displayed.  
2. If the low frequency echo is stronger than or equal to the high frequency echo, it is less  
likely to be a tiny fish and therefore is displayed in blue.  
3. If the echoes on both frequencies have the intensity corresponding to reddish brown or red,  
they are displayed in reddish brown or red: this is necessary to display the zero line and  
bottom in reddish brown or red.  
In other words, the echoes displayed in orange thru light-blue may be considered to be tiny fish  
such as whitebait.

Ship’s speed dependent mode  
With speed data provided by a speed log, current indicator or navigation equipment, the display  
advance speed may be set according to ship’s speed, the ship’s speed dependent mode. As  
shown in the figure below the horizontal scale of the display is not influenced by the change of  
ship’s speed, thus the speed-dependent picture advance permits judgement of fish school size  
and abundance at any speed. The picture advance speed indication is suffixed with an “S” when  
the ship’s speed dependent mode is active. For example, “1/1S.” For how to enable the ship’s  
speed dependent mode see page 2-9. This function is available with ship’s speed of 2-20 kt.

PRR LEVEL  
Changes pulse repetition rate. Normally, the highest rate (20) is used. When in shallow waters  
second reflection echoes may appear between surface and actual bottom echo. In this case  
lower the PRR level.  
The choice “S” means the ship’s speed dependent mode, where the PRR changes  
automatically with ship’s speed. (Requires ship’s speed input.) For further information about the  
ship’s speed dependent mode, see page 1-20.  
STC (High and Low Frequencies)  
Adjusts STC level for the high and low frequencies, and is useful for suppressing surface noise.  
The setting range is 0-10; the higher the setting the greater the extent of suppression. Setting  
10 suppresses noise up to about 5 m. Turn off the STC when there is no noise on the screen,  
otherwise weak echoes may be missed.  
GAIN ADJ (High and Low Frequencies)  
Adjusts gain (range: -50 to +50) of transceiver unit selected. Adjust the setting when the GAIN  
control cannot effectively adjust the gain.

When NARROW is selected, the noise suppression is greater however resolution is lower in  
shallow water. Normally, set to STD. For more effective resolution, select WIDE.  
TX PULSE (High and Low Frequencies)  
Sets TX pulselength for high and low frequencies. The available choices are SHORT1,  
SHORT2, STD, LONG, and MANUAL. Pulselength (without MANUAL) automatically changes  
with range and shift.  
PULSE LENGTH (High and Low Frequencies)  
When selecting MANUAL on TX PULSE, this setting (setting range: 0.2 msec – 5.0 msec) is  
active. The smaller digit, the greater the detection resolution; the larger digit, the longer the  
detection range.

The color bar shows the relation between echo intensity and echo color on the screen. The top  
color (reddish brown) is the strongest color and the lower colors the weakest. The bar can be  
used as a reference to estimate density of a fish school, fish species and hardness of the  
bottom. The background color can be selected on the menu screen.

4.3 Bottom Echoes  
Bottom echoes are normally strongest and displayed in reddish brown or red, but colors and  
width will vary with bottom material, depth, sea condition, installation, frequency, pulselength  
and sensitivity.  
Bottom profile  
A hard and rough bottom appears with a longer tail because it reflects more of the ultrasonic  
pulse. Because of their stronger return, shallow echoes appear wider than deep ones even  
when all botom conditions are equal. Also, a longer bottom tail appears on slopes because of  
the difference in traveling time at both edges of the beam angle. In the rugged bottom, echoes  
are reflected on many different planes, overlapping to present a 3D effect.

Bottom nature  
The nature of the bottom is known from the intensity and length of the bottom tail. Generally,  
when observing the bottom nature, the lower sounding frequency is used, the pulselength is set  
to long, and the gain setting is not disturbed. In the hard and craggy bottom, the bottom appears  
more reddish and with a long tail. However, the bottom with a sediment may give a short tail if a  
low frequency sounding is used.

Fish Schools  
Fish quantity  
Fish quantity can be estimated to a certain extent from fish echoes on the screen if fish school  
size and fish school density are kept in mind.  
Fish school size  
Usually the size of fish echoes on the screen is proportional to the actual size of the fish school.  
However, if two fish echoes appear at different depths with the same size, the fish school at  
shallower depth is smaller because the ultrasonic beam widens as it propagates and a fish  
school in deep water is displayed larger.

Fish school density  
If two fish scools appear with the same color at different depths, the one in deeper water is  
denser because the ultrasonic wave attenuates as it propagates and the fish school in deep  
water tends to be displayed in a weaker color.

Surface noise  
When the sea is rough or the ship passes over a wake, surface noise may appear at the top of  
the screen. It can be suppressed with the CLUTTER function.  
Surface Noise  
Surface noise  
Aerated water  
When the sea is rough or the ship makes a quick turn, gaps in the bottom echo on the screen  
may appear. This is caused by air bubbles which block propagation of the sound wave.  
Generally low frequency ultrasonic waves are interrupted more easily than high ones.

False image  
Every time the ultrasonic pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam,  
called “side lobes.” Echoes from side lobes show on the display as false images as below.
