15.1 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.
DownVision™ 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.
Interpreting SideVision™ images The following illustration shows how SideVision™ images on your multifunction display are related to the water column and sea floor to the sides of your vessel. Interpreting SideVision images SideVision™ images are constructed line-by-line, similar to the way a television picture is composed of many horizontal lines. Each successive ping from the SideVision™ transducer adds a new line of image data to the top of your display.
15.2 Raymarine sonar modules 15.3 Fishfinder overview and features The depth shown below for DownVision™ and the range for SideVision™ sonar modules are typical achievable depths / ranges, depending on the connected transducer in optimum water conditions. The depths shown for Traditional and CHIRP sonar modules are the maximum depths achievable depending on connected transducer in optimum water conditions. The Fishfinder application uses a sonar module and a suitable sonar transducer.

4. Select Speed Transducer. A list of transducers is displayed. 5. Select your speed transducer from the list. 15.5 Checking the sonar Sonar checks are made using the fishfinder application. 1. Select a fishfinder page from the Homescreen. 2. Check the fishfinder display. With the fishfinder active you should see: • Depth reading (indicates the transducer is working). The depth is shown in a databox in the bottom left of the screen.
15.6 Fishfinder Transducer Calibration Your fishfinder transducer must be calibrated correctly to achieve accurate depth readings. The multifunction display receives the image from a sonar module which processes sonar signals from a transducer mounted in the water. If the transducer is equipped with a speed paddle wheel and temperature-sensing thermistor, the sonar module calculates speed and temperature.
15.7 Multiple sonar module support Your multifunction display supports multiple active sonar modules on the same network. You can select which sonar channel you want to be displayed. Only 1 channel can be displayed at a time in a single Fishfinder application pane. Multiple channels can be displayed at the same time using custom splitscreen pages. Alternatively multiple custom pages could be set up to suit individual requirements.
Refer to the Changing an existing page on the homescreen section to find out how to create a page. Note: 1. The channels available are dependent on the sonar module and its connected transducer. 2. DownVisionTM sonar modules include both a DownVisionTM channel and a traditional sonar channel. 3. SideVisionTM sonar modules include 1 SideVisionTM channel, the view icons can be used to switch between left and right views.

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.
15.9 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.
15.10 Dual channel ping modes 15.11 The sonar image The CP570 sonar module features 2 CHIRP sonar channels that can transmit and receive independently of each other. Ping modes are available that balance the ping rate Vs interference between the 2 channels. Interpreting the bottom using sonar Ping modes: The bottom usually produces a strong echo. • Auto — The system selects the best mode based on your chosen range settings.
Size of the target 15.12 Depth Range 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. The Depth Range function enables you to define the range of depth that you see in the Fishfinder application.
Range shift 15.13 SideVisionTM Range The Range Shift function enables a specific area of the water column to be displayed on-screen.

All Raymarine products are, prior to packing and shipping, subjected to comprehensive test and quality assurance programs. However, if you experience problems with the operation of your product this section will help you to diagnose and correct problems in order to restore normal operation.
26.2 Power up troubleshooting Problems at power up and their possible causes and solutions are described here. Product does not turn on or keeps turning off Possible causes Possible solutions Blown fuse / tripped breaker 1. Check condition of relevant fuses and breakers and connections, replace if necessary (Refer to the Technical Specification section of your product’s installation instructions for fuse ratings.) 2.
26.3 Radar troubleshooting Problems with the Radar and their possible causes and solutions are described here. No connection can be made to the scanner Possible Causes Possible Solution Radar powered down • If the scanner unit has shut down, awaken it by using the Power Up Radar option on the Shortcuts page, accessible on your MFD by momentarily pressing the power button.
26.4 GPS troubleshooting Problems with the GPS and their possible causes and solutions are described here. Problem Possible causes Possible solutions “No Fix” GPS status icon is displayed. Geographic location or prevailing Check periodically to see if a fix is obtained in better conditions preventing satellite conditions or another geographic location. fix. GPS connection fault. Ensure that external GPS connections and cabling are correct and fault free. External GPS antenna in poor position.
26.5 Troubleshooting automatic route generation The information below details the warnings that can be displayed when using automatic route generation, a description of what the warning means and actions to be taken to correct the issue. Example warning message Description Resolution Route generation completed successfully The Route maybe followed AFTER it has been reviewed to ensure that the generated route is safe for your vessel to follow.
Example warning message Troubleshooting Description Resolution The start and end point of the desired route are further than 100 nm apart. Create smaller route legs. e.g. instead of trying to create a route from point A to point B, create a route from point A to point B to point C to point D, this will enable a route longer than 100 nm to be created for each route leg. A safe route could not be generated The first waypoint will be placed but the end waypoint will not.
26.6 Sonar troubleshooting Problems with the sonar and their possible causes and solutions are described here. Scrolling image is not being displayed Possible causes Possible solutions Sonar disabled Select Ping Enable from the Sounder Set-up menu. Incorrect transducer selected Check that the correct transducer is selected in the Transducer Set-up menu. Damaged cables 1. Check that the transducer cable connector is fully inserted and locked in position. 2.
Possible causes Possible solutions 6. With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check for high voltage drop across all connectors/fuses etc (this can cause the Fishfinder applications to stop scrolling or the unit to reset/turn off), replace if necessary. Vessel speed too high Slow vessel speed and recheck. Bottom too shallow or too deep The bottom depth may be outside of the transducers depth range, move vessel to shallower or deeper waters as relevant and recheck.
Possible causes Possible solutions Transducer does not have a speed element Install transducer with speed element to enable speed readings. Incorrect transducer selected (no speed displayed) Select a transducer that supports speed measurement from the Transducer Set-Up menu.
26.7 Sonar crosstalk interference There are 2 types of potential sonar crosstalk interference in a Raymarine sonar system: 1. SideVision sonar crosstalk interference 2. Multiple sonar crosstalk interference The types of crosstalk interference that you may experience in your system depend on the combination and type of sonar equipment installed, and the way in which the equipment has been installed.
Note: Due to physical size and other constraints that vary from vessel to vessel, it may not be possible to completely eliminate crosstalk interference from your system. However, this will not impede your ability to benefit from the full capabilities of your sonar system. Being able to easily identify the way in which interference is displayed in the Fishfinder application can sometimes be the best and easiest route to dealing with it.
26.8 Thermal camera troubleshooting Problems with the thermal camera and their possible causes and solutions are described here. Problem Possible causes Possible solutions Video not displayed. Camera is in Standby mode. The camera will not display video if it is in Standby mode. Use the camera controls (either the thermal camera application or JCU) to “wake” the camera from standby.

26.11 Wi-Fi troubleshooting Possible cause Before troubleshooting problems with your Wi-Fi connection, ensure that you have followed the Wi-Fi location requirements guidance provided in the relevant installation instructions and performed a power cycle/reboot of the devices you are experiencing problems with. Bulkheads, decks and other 1. heavy structure can degrade and even block the Wi-Fi signal. Depending on the thickness and material used it may not always be possible 2.
Connection extremely slow and or keeps dropping out Possible cause Possible solutions Wi-Fi performance degrades over distance so products farther away will receive less network bandwidth. Products installed close to their maximum Wi-Fi range will experience slow connection speeds, signal drop outs or not being able to connect at all. • Move devices closer together. Interference being caused by other Wi-Fi enabled or older Bluetooth enabled devices (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi both operate in the 2.
26.12 Bluetooth troubleshooting Aspects of the installation can cause problems with the data shared between wireless devices. Such problems, their possible causes and solutions are described here. Problem Possible causes Possible solutions No wireless connection. Smart Device does not have a Bluetooth connection established with the multifunction display. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on the MFD.
