Note!

Insert or remove C-MAP cartridges ONLY through SETUP menu or when

unit is off. All electronic navigation equipment is subject to external factors

beyond the control of the manufacturer. Therefore such equipment must be

regarded as an aid to navigation. The prudent navigator will, for that reason,

never rely on a single source for position fixing and navigation.

CE34/44/54 Echo menu Chapter 4-1 4. Echosounder operation The echosounder function of the CEXX determines the distance between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or sea bed. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave strikes an underwater object such as fish or sea bottom, part of the sound wave is reflected back toward the source.

PAGE 60
Chapter 4-10 CE34/44/54 Echo menu 4.8 How the echosounder works When the CEXX is turned on, a transmitter begins to send electrical pulses to the transducer. The ceramic resonators in the transducer has a special property which enables it to change dimensions slightly when a varying voltage is applied. The voltage is thus converted to mechanical vibrations (sound waves) which are then transmitted down through the water. See Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Transmi ed ‘ping’ from the transmi er/receiver.
PAGE 61
CE34/44/54 Echo menu Chapter 4-11 4.9 Transducer beamwidth The transducer mounted to the hull of your vessel serves as both a ‘speaker’ when transmitting, and as a ‘microphone’ when the echosounder is receiving. Similar to the way a flashlight focuses light, most of the sound from your transducer is focused downwards with a smaller amount going out to the sides. The amount of focusing of the sound beam is expressed as a ‘beamwidth’.
PAGE 62
Chapter 4-12 CE34/44/54 Echo menu 4.10 Effects of the vessel’s speed The presentation of fish on the CEXX depends directly on the vessel’s speed, as well as on the depth of the fish. When the vessel is at rest, the echo traces will appear stretched and flattened. As the vessel’s speed becomes greater, the echo traces will become shorter and more arched. The reason for this change in appearance is that as the vessel speed increases, fewer number of sound ‘pings’ strike each fish.

CE34/44/54 Glossary of terms Appendix A-1 General Almanac – a satellite’s almanac data, is data which determines an approximate lane for satellites in orbit. The almanac data is used by the GPS receiver to find and lock onto the satellite signal. CEXX has a built-in basic almanac. AVN – Approximate Velocity Necessary – to arrive at a specific waypoint at a specific time. Bearing – is the direction of where to go e.g. towards a specific waypoint. Course – Course Over Ground, magnetic or true.

Appendix A-2 CE34/44/54 Glossary of terms Navigation simulator - the chartplotter function features a built-in navigation simulator which can be used for demonstration purpose or for practicing ‘live’ navigation in ‘off season’. Navigation to cursor or waypoint, in route or in track is started as described in chapter 5.
PAGE 155
CE34/44/54 Glossary of terms Appendix A-3 UTC – Universal Time Coordinates, which is equal to standard time in London (GMT). UTC is not affected by the local summertime adjustments. Velocity – speed towards approaching waypoint. Waypoint name – a name can be added to each waypoint for easy identification. XTE – Cross-Track-Error (-Distance), measured magnitude of the position error perpendicular to the intended track line.
