19.1 Fishfinder overview and features The Fishfinder application uses a sonar module and a suitable sonar transducer. The sonar module interprets signals from the transducer and builds up a detailed underwater view. Various sonar technologies are available, all of which work on the same basic principles. The sonar transducer sends pulses of sound waves into the water and measures the time it takes for the sound waves to travel to the bottom and back.
• Depth • Range The context menu also provide the following menu items: • Place Waypoint • * Place Marker • * Move Marker (only available when a marker has been placed.) The Fishfinder window includes the following features: • The bottom together with any bottom structure such as reefs and shipwrecks etc. • Target images indicating fish. • A status bar indicating the current sonar module and channel in use. • Bottom depth. • * On-Screen controls.
19.2 Sonar technologies CHIRP Sonar overview Traditional sonar technology CHIRP sonar produces a conical shaped beam, the coverage of the conical beam is the water column directly beneath the vessel Traditional sonar uses a single carrier frequency or carrier wave for the sonar ping. The sonar works by measuring the time it takes the ping echo to return to the transducer to determine target depth.
DownVisionTM is effective at lower vessel speeds. In deeper waters the CHIRP bandwidth is automatically optimized to improve bottom lock and the detection of moving objects (e.g. fish) in the wider water column. The wide, thin beam produces clear target returns. The use of CHIRP processing and a higher operating frequency provide a more detailed image, making it easier to identify bottom structures around which fish may reside.
19.3 Raymarine sonar modules 19.4 Multiple sonar module support You can find details on Raymarine’s sonar modules below. Your multifunction display supports multiple active sonar modules on the same network. The depth shown below for DownVisionTM and the range for SideVisionTM sonar modules are typical achievable depths / ranges, depending on the connected transducer in optimum water conditions.
Channel Description Sonar module Displaying multiple sonar channels SideVisionTM Gives a clear view of fish and structure either side of your vessel. • CP200 Up to 4 sonar channels can be viewed at the same time by creating a custom splitscreen page that includes multiple Fishfinder application instances. Sonar (200 kHz CHIRP) Targets bait and predator fish with wide sonar beam • CP100 • DownVisionTM variant MFDs Note: 1.
Depth data source 19.5 Sonar crosstalk interference Where multiple sources of depth data exist on a system and the depth Data Source is set to Auto the system will automatically select the optimum source for depth data. There are 2 types of potential sonar crosstalk interference in a Raymarine sonar system: 1. SideVision sonar crosstalk interference 2.
modules simultaneously in a Raymarine system, it may not always be necessary to do so. If you are in a scenario that requires only one sonar module to be active at a time, disable any other sonar modules by changing the Fishfinder application pane to a single one which only displays the output from one sonar module. Alternatively, disable the ping for any unused sonar modules by selecting MENU > Channel > Ping > OFF in the Fishfinder application.
19.6 Custom channels Renaming custom channels When connected to an External Traditional sonar module such as the CP300 or an External CHIRP sonar module such as the CP450C, custom channels can be created from the sonar module’s default channels; excluding Auto channels. This enables some settings to be customized and saved as a separate channel. These channels can then be assigned to individual Fishfinder application panes. Up to 10 custom channels can be created for each compatible sonar module.
19.7 The sonar image Size of the target Interpreting the bottom using sonar It is important to understand how to correctly interpret the bottom structure represented on-screen. The bottom usually produces a strong echo. The larger the target, the larger the return on the fishfinder display. The size of a fish target is also dependent upon the size of the fish’s swim bladder rather than its overall size. The swim bladder varies in size between different breeds of fish.
19.8 Depth Range The Depth Range function enables you to define the range of depth that you see in the Fishfinder application. In Auto Range, the Fishfinder application automatically adjusts the range to ensure the water column and bottom are always displayed. In Manual Range, you can adjust the range displayed on-screen to suit your needs.
19.9 SideVisionTM Range 19.10 Fishfinder scrolling The SideVisionTM Range function enables you to define the distance to the left and right of the vessel that is displayed on-screen. The range displayed on-screen can be adjusted to suit your needs. The fishfinder image scrolls from right to left. You can pause the scrolling or adjust the scroll speed, to ease placing of waypoints or VRMs onscreen. The table below shows examples of the SideVisionTM Range function.

19.14 Depth and distance DownVisionTM Legacy, Traditional CHIRP and sonar modules use there respective transducers to obtain depth readings. SideVisionTM can only display depth readings when a separate source for depth is available on the network. The Fishfinder application provides a number of features to help you determine depth and distance. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Note: The VRM is only available in Bottom Lock mode when viewing the display mode in Split screen.
19.15 Waypoints in the Fishfinder application Placing a waypoint in the Fishfinder application enables you to mark a position so that you can return to it later. When a waypoint is placed its details are added to the waypoint list and a vertical line showing the waypoint symbol is displayed on-screen. The waypoints can then be navigated from the Chart application. 19.16 Sensitivity settings The Sensitivity settings menu provides access to features and functions that enhances what is displayed on-screen.
Gain The gain settings alter the way the sonar module processes background noise. Adjusting the gain settings can improve the sonar image, however for optimum performance in most conditions, we recommend that you use the auto settings. The gain control determines the strength above which echoes are displayed on-screen. 20% Manual Gain Auto Gain 80% Manual Gain Auto In Auto mode the sonar module automatically adjusts the gain setting to suit current conditions.
1. Select Sensitivity Settings. 2. Select Auto Gain Mode. 3. Select the required auto gain mode. Color gain Traditional, CHIRP and Legacy sonar channels use different colors to determine the strength of an echo. You can adjust the color gain manually between 0% and 100% or set it to automatic. 20% Manual Color Gain Auto Color Gain 80% Manual Color Gain Color gain sets the lower limit for the strongest echo color. All echoes with a signal strength above this value are displayed in the strongest color.
On-screen TVG controls Touch only and HybridTouch multifunction displays have on-screen TVG controls. 0% TVG 30% TVG Setting TVG to Automatic The TVG setting can be set to automatic by following the steps below. From the Fishfinder application: 1. Select Menu. 2. Select Sensitivity Settings. 3. Select TVG. The TVG slider bar control is displayed. 4. Select Auto so that a tick is placed in the auto box.
3. When connected to external CHIRP sonar modules (excluding DownVisionTM) and external traditional sonar modules (excluding legacy) you can select an auto TVG mode, Noise Filter The Noise Filter is available on DownVisionTM sonar modules. The Noise Filter reduces the amount of clutter displayed on-screen by varying the gain throughout the column of water. The Noise Filter can be set to automatic or adjusted manually: • Automatic — In Auto mode the Noise Filter is set to 20%.
19.17 Fishfinder alarms The following Fishfinder alarms can be set when a depth data source is available. • Fish — alarm sounds when a target meets the specified sensitivity level and, is within the depth limits (if enabled). • Fishfinder Deep — alarm sounds when the detected depth is greater than the deep limit. • Fishfinder Shallow — alarm sounds when the detected depth is less than the shallow limit. Setting up fish alarms 1. Select Fishfinder Shallow. 2. Select Shallow so that On is highlighted.
The frequency is dependent on the sonar module and transducer in use. When using a non-CHIRP sonar module or a CHIRP sonar module that is operating in non-CHIRP mode then the transducer’s frequency can be manually fine-tuned. The advantages of being able to tune the frequency include: • Optimization for particular species of fish and water conditions. • Avoiding interference from other sonar operating nearby (at the same frequency). • Use of wide or narrow beam on a particular transducer.
19.19 Sounder set-up menu options This section details the options available in the Sounder set-up menu: (Menu > Set-up > Sounder Set-up).

20.1 Radar overview Radar is used to provide information that can help you to track targets and measure distances and bearings. Radio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) is used at sea to detect the presence of objects (known as ‘targets’) at a distance, and if they are moving, detect their speed. Radar works by transmitting radio pulses, then detecting reflections of these pulses (echoes) from objects in the area and displaying the reflections as targets on your display.
