Single Beam Sonar
Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The Matrix Fishing System uses sonar to
locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth
directly below the transducer.
Your Matrix 10, 12 or 20 uses a 200 kHz single beam sonar
system with a 20° area of coverage. Depth capability is
affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom
hardness, water conditions and transducer installation.
Your Matrix Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by
measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the
sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then
location, size, and composition of an object.
PLUS™ Sonar
7 or 27 uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS™
with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam
returns can be blended together, viewed
compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS™ is ideal
nge of conditions - from shallow to very deep
fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected
s as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness,

The Matrix Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area
under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items:

Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm
when the water becomes too shallow.
Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can

Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS
Receiver is attached, the Matrix can display the
speed of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of
nautical or statute miles traveled.
Structure - where fish may be hiding.
Fish - fish are displayed as arches and/or
fish icons, and the unit can be set to alarm
when a fish of a certain size is detected.
When a target is detected and Fish ID+ is on,
a Fish ID+TM symbol with depth is displayed.
The size of the symbol shows the intensity of
the sonar return. The unit will clearly show
schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different
shapes and sizes, depending on the number
of fish and boat speed.
Temperature - water surface temperature.
Timer - elapsed time with Temp/Speed
Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Distance - distance traveled with Temp/Speed
Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Average Speed - average speed reading with
Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.
200 kHz, Narrow Beam Shaded Fish Symbol
Thermoclines - layers of water with different
temperatures that appear at different depths
and different times of the year. A thermocline
typically appears as a continuous band of
many gray levels moving across the display at
the same depth.

A Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window appears on the right side of the display in the

depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure and fish

intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu - RTS® Window).
Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that
are very close together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom
or within structure. In Zoom View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the

Bottom Presentation
(QuadraBeamTM Only)
As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile
of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted
on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a
thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker
line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance.

Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar

83 kHz Sensitivity
(Advanced: DualBeam PLUS™and QuadraBeamTM Only)
Fish Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the Fish ID+TM
detection algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to be
displayed as fish. This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish.
Selecting a lower setting displays fewer fish from weak sonar returns. This is helpful
when seeking larger species of fish. Fish Sensitivity is used in conjunction with Fish
ID+TM. Fish ID+TM must be On for Fish Sensitivity o affecthe ablty of he Fshing
System to identify sonar returns as fish.
83 kHz Sensitivity changes the sensitivity of the 83 kHz beam. Increasing the 83 kHz
Sensitivity will display additional weak returns and decreasing the 83 kHz Sensitivity
will display fewer weak returns. The 83 kHz Sensitivity menu choice is only available

Display Problems
Before contacting the Humminbird Customer Resource Center, please read the
following section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines may
allow you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid sending
your unit back for repair.
There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause
problems with the quality of the information displayed on the control head. Look in
the following table for some symptoms of display problems and possible solutions:
