7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.2.5 Bottom discrimination display The bottom discrimination display, which requires a bottom discrimination capable transducer or Bottom Discrimination Sounder BBDS1 or Network Fish Finder DFF1UHD, identifies probable bottom composition. The display is available in all screen divisions, single or dual frequency mode, and occupies the bottom 1/6 of the screen in the full screen display. Use this feature with ship speed 10 knots or less and depths between 5 and 100 m.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.3.2 How to select an automatic fish finder mode There are two types of automatic fish finder modes: [Auto Fishing] and [Auto Cruising]. [Auto Fishing] searches for schools of fish, and [Auto Cruising] tracks the bottom. [Auto Cruising] uses a higher clutter removal setting than [Auto Fishing]. Do not use [Auto Cruising] when your purpose is to find fish, because the clutter removal circuit can erase weak echoes.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.4.4 How to adjust the gain The gain controls how echoes of different strengths are displayed. Set the gain to show a slight amount of noise on the screen. Increase the gain for greater depths and lower the gain for shallow waters. Gain too high Gain too low Gain proper Note: This function is not available in the auto mode. 1. Tap the screen to open the pop-up menu, then tap [Adjust]. 2. Tap [HF Gain] or [LF Gain]. 3.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.5 Picture Advance Speed The picture advance speed controls how quickly the vertical scan lines move across the screen.

Turn off the interference rejector when there is no interference, so that you do not erase weak echoes. Interference from other sounder Interference from electrical equipment 1.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.8 Echo History Display You can view past echoes which are off the screen. Swipe the screen to the right to display past echoes. To return to the active display, tap [Cancel Hist] at the top righthand corner of the screen. 7.9 How to Balance Echo Strength A school of fish at a depth deeper than a school of equal strength in shallow water appears in weaker colors. This condition is caused by the attenuation of the ultrasonic wave.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.10 Fish Finder Alarms Two types of fish alarms release audio and visual alarms to tell you that echoes from fish are in the area you selected. These alarms are [Fish Alarm] and [Fish Alarm for Bottom Lock]. The [Fish Alarm] function tells you when an echo above some strength (selectable) is within the alarm range you specify. The [Fish Alarm for Bottom Lock] function tells you when fish are within some distance from the bottom.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.10.2 How to activate or deactivate an alarm Fish alarm 1. Open the home screen, then tap [Settings] - [Sounder]. 2. Turn [Fish Alarm] on or off. The fish alarm can also be activated or deactivated with [Fish Alarm] on the pop-up menu. Bottom lock fish alarm Open the home screen, then tap [Settings] - [Sounder]. Turn [Fish Alarm for Bottom Lock] on or off. 7.10.3 Alarm sensitivity You can select the echo strength that releases the fish alarms. 1.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) • Use this feature with ship speed of 10 knots or less and depth between 5 and 100 m. • The signal attenuation on the inside-hull transducer is different between 50 kHz and 200 kHz. This attenuation causes some fish to get ignored and the fish length indicated can be shorter than the true length. • Echoes from a school of fish can be in more than one layer, which can cause wrong length indication.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.11.2 Fish size correction The fish size shown on the screen can be different from the true size. If the size is wrong, add an offset to the measured value to get a more accurate indication on the screen. 1. Open the home screen, then tap [Settings] - [Sounder]. 2. Drag the slider at [ACCU-FISH Size Correction] to set correction percentage (setting range: -80% to 100%). Setting +100 +50 -50 -65 -75 -80 Revised size Two times 1.5 times 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 3.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.12 RezBoost™ With connection of a RezBoost™ capable transducer, echo resolution can be improved. In the example below, it is difficult to distinguish fish from the bottom. With [Enhanced] RezBoost™, however, fish near the bottom are clearly seen. Enhanced mode Standard mode RezBoost™ is available with the following transducers.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.13 Temperature Graph With connection of a water temperature sensor, you can plot sea surface temperature over time. Open the pop-up menu and turn on [Temperature]. The temperature graph runs across the screen from right to left, the latest temperature at the right edge. The temperature scale is at the left edge of the display. The unit of measurement (°C or °F) can be selected with [Temperature] in the [Units] menu.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.14 Sounder Menu This section describes the fish finder functions not described in previous sections. Open the home screen, then tap [Settings] - [Sounder]. ACCU-FISH Info ACCU-FISH Symbols ACCU-FISH Size Correction Smoothing [Day Background Color]: Select the background color for use during daylight hours. The options are [White], [Light Blue], [Black] and [Dark Blue]. [Night Background Color]: Select the background color for use at nighttime.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) [Transmit Rate Auto]: Automatically set the transmit rate according to ship’s speed, and is inoperative when there is no speed data. [Transmit Rate Manual]: Change the TX pulse repetition rate in 21 levels (21 is highest power.). Use 20 in normal use. Lower the TX rate in shallow waters to prevent the second reflection echo. [Sounder Transmit]: Turn on or off the sounder transmission. Sounder initial setup [Zero Line Rejection]: Turn the zero line (transmission line) on or off.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) [Transducer Setup]: Select the method to setup the transducer, by model, manually, or TDID (transducer ID). See the installation manual for details. [Transmission Power]: Interference can appear on the screen when the fish finder on your ship and another ship have the same TX frequency. To prevent this interference, lower your TX power and ask the other ship to lower their TX power.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) 7.15 Interpreting the Display Zero line The zero line (transmission line) shows the position of the transducer. The line disappears from the screen when the range is shifted. Zero line Range shifted Bottom echoes The strongest echoes are from the bottom, and are normally shown in reddish-brown or red. The colors and the width change with bottom material, depth, sea condition, installation, frequency, pulse length and sensitivity.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) Bottom contour The tail from a hard bottom is longer than the tail from a soft bottom, because the hard bottom reflects more of the ultrasonic pulse. An echo from shallow water gives a stronger reflection than the echo received from deep water. A longer bottom tail appears on slopes, because of the difference in travel time at both edges of the beam angle. For the rough bottom, echoes are reflected on many different planes, which displays echoes in many layers, giving a 3D effect.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) Size of a school of fish Usually the size of fish echoes on the screen is proportional to the actual size of the school of fish. However, if two fish echoes appear at different depths with the same size, the school of fish at the shallower depth is larger because the ultrasonic beam widens as it propagates and a school of fish in deep water is displayed larger.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) Plankton A plankton layer appears as a large amount of green or blue dots, and is a possible location for fish. A plankton layer moves down in the day and up at night. School of fish Plankton Current rip When two ocean currents of different speeds directions and water temperatures meet, a current rip occurs. A current rip appears on the screen as shown in the right illustration.
7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER) False echo When an ultrasonic pulse is transmitted, some energy leaves from each side of the beam. This energy has the name “sidelobe”. Echoes from sidelobes show on the screen as false images like in the illustration shown below.
