The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic pulse the better the resolution. Therefore, the high

*Mix
This mode compares echo intensity between low and high frequencies, and displays echoes
from tiny fish in discriminative colors. This is done by utilizing the fact that tiny fish return a
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.

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.

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.

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.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for continued performance. Important points to be checked
from time to time are shown below.

If conductors are exposed, replace cable.
Power cable plug, transducer cable plug If loosened, secure tightly.
Grounding
If corroded, clean.
Ship’s mains voltage
Transducer cleanliness
If out of ratings, correct problem.
Marine life on the transducer will result in a At
gradual decrease in sensitivity. Check the
transducer face each time the boat is
drydocked. Carefully remove any marine
life with piece of wood or fine sandpaper.
dry-dock
Display unit cleanliness
LCD screen
Dust or dirt may be removed with a soft
cloth. Water-diluted mild detergent may be
used if desired. DO NOT use chemical
cleaners to clean the display unit; they
may remove paint and markings.
Wipe the LCD carefully to prevent
As
necessary
scratching, using tissue paper and an LCD
cleaner. To remove dirt or salt deposits,
use an LCD cleaner, wiping slowly with
tissue paper so as to dissolve the dirt or
salt. Change paper frequently so the salt
or dirt will not scratch the LCD. Do not use
solvents such as thinner, acetone or
benzene for cleaning.

5.2 Fuse Replacement
A fuse in the display unit and processor unit protects the equipment against overcurrent and
reverse polarity of the ship’s mains or internal fault. If a fuse blows find the cause before
replacing it.
CAUTION
Use the proper fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
equipment damage.

5.3 Troubleshooting
This section provides simple troubleshooting procedures which the user may follow to restore
normal operation.
If…
Then…
there are no echoes but the scale appears
•
•
check if the transducer is properly connected.
there is no zero line or zero line is not in correct
position
check if the range shifted. (Zero line does not
appear when the range is shifted.)
•
press the [-] key so as the scale appears from
0.
you suspect low sensitivity
•
•
check that gain control is properly set.
the bottom is traced in zigzag pattern or you
experience occassional loss of echo
the sea may be rough. Bottom is traced zigzag
when the sea is rough.
•
•
•
•
•
own boat may have passed over other boat’s
wake, which blocks propagation of sound wave.
there is no depth readout
check to see if bottom is present on the normal
picture range.
check if bottom echo is strong enough (red,
reddish brown in color).
automatic shift is inoperative
picture is distorted
check if bottom echo is strong enough (red,
reddish brown in color)
check if magnetic field generating equipment
(transformer, rectifier) are nearby.
color is strange in a given area
occasional noise is seen
•
•
check if a magnet is near the equipment.
check if the cables of pulse generating
equipment are near the equipment.
there is noise and interference
•
check that GAIN and CLUTTER properly
adjusted.
•
•
check the setting of the noise limiter.
check the equipment’s ground.
