6 Fish Finder FOR SKY X5 FISH & COMPACT X5 FISH The Fish Finder consists of a high power transmitter, sensitive receiver and a transducer. The Fish Finder sends an electrical pulse to the transducer which contains an element that converts the pulse into acoustic (sound) wave which is sent through the water. As this wave travels from the transducer to the bottom, it may strike fish, structures, thermoclines (temperature changes in the water).

correct interpretation of the Echogram allows retrieving useful information about what is under the boat. See the following Par. 6.2.2 for more information. Color Bar Colored scale located on the left side of the screen that shows the colors used in the Echogram to represent the echoes strength. The color on the top of the bar represents the maximum sonar strength, while the color on the bottom of the bar represents the minimum sonar strength. Digital Depth Readout of the current bottom depth.
6.2.1 UNDERSTANDING THE ECHOGRAM DISPLAY The main elements that can be easily distinguished into an Echogram are: Fig. 6.2.1 - The Fish Finder echogram Fishes Fishes are represented as arcs because of the cone angle of the transducer. In fact as the boat passes over the fish the leading edge of the cone strikes the fish, causing a display pixel to be turned on. As the boat passes over the fish, the distance to the fish decreases turning each pixel on at a shallower depth on the display.
Surface Clutter Appears like noise at the top of the screen extending many feet below the surface. It’s caused by many things, including air bubbles, bait fish, plankton and algae. Structures Generally, the term “structure” is used to identify objects like wrecks and weeds rising from the bottom. Bottom Echo Profile Bottom profile recorded by the Fish Finder. When the echo sounder is set in auto-range mode it is automatically kept in the lower half of the screen.

BRG = Bearing Angle between the North (True or Magnetic) and a destination. It represents the direction to follow. Chain Selects the preferred chain. The Loran chains are groups of transmitting stations that use timed radio pulse transmissions. In each of these chains there is a master station and two or more slave or secondary stations. Stations belonging to a same chain transmit pulses in timing groups: a different time base identifies each chain.
Depth Lines Imaginary lines connecting points of equal water depth. DGPS = Differential GPS Provides even greater positioning accuracy than standard GPS. DSC = Digital Selective Calling Method of establishing a VHF radio call; it is used to announce urgent maritime safety information broadcasts. This system allows mariners to instantly send Distress Call or/and Position Request to the other vessels equipped with a DSC transceiver within range of the transmission.
