OPERA TIONAL OVERVIEW

T urning the Power On/Off

Turning the power on

Press the ON switch on the main panel. The lamp above the key should light. If it doesn’t press the TX switch on sub panel 1.

Turning the power off

Retract the transducer with the c switch and then press the OFF key on the main panel.

Note: The transducer is automatically retracted into the tank even if the OFF switch is pressed before retracting the transducer. However, make it a habit to retract the transducer before turning off the power .

Adjusting Screen Brilliance, Control Panel Backlighting

The BRILL control adjusts screen brilliance, and the DIM control adjusts control panel backlighting. These controls are on the lower part of the main panel.

Lowering the T ransducer

Press d or d switch. The lamp above the key blinks during lowering of the transducer and lights when the transducer is completely lowered. In normal use fully lower the transducer. The transducer extends 1200 mm below the ship’s hull, providing stable and cavitation-free soundings. If the transducer may become entangled in the net, after shooting the net, for example, partially raise the transducer with the the transducer by 400 mm (transducer extends 800 mm from ship’ s hull).

Selecting a Display Mode

The CSH-53 provides three display modes: normal sonar picture, echo sounder combination, and history display combination. Those modes may be selected with the NORM, E/S and HIST keys.

Table 2-1 Display mode description

Mode Description

The sonar picture appears over the entire screen. This mode is useful for detecting and tracking fish schools. The default display area is 1.3 times the range, but it can be changed to

1.6 times the range on "EXT KP/TM DSP" in the SYSTEM menu. Navigation information can be displayed in the text window at the screen bottom by turning on

NORMAL

"DATA DISPLAY" in the user menu.

Text window

E/S

Normal scanning picture appears on the upper 5/8 of the screen and the signal fed from the echo sounder on the lower 3/8. This mode is suitable for judging fish school concentration. When two echo sounders are connected, each pressing of the E/S key alternately selects echo sounder 1 or echo sounder 2. Note that a net recorder can be connected as echo sounder 2; select it on the "ES" sub menu in the INIT SET/TEST menu.

Normal scanning sonar picture appears on the upper 5/8 of the screen and the history display on the lower 3/8. Three types of history displays are available: Audio, Port/Starboard and Horizontal Slice. You can select which one to display on the USER menu.

Selecting a Display Range

Operate the RANGE control to select a display range. The range selected appears at the top center of the screen.

Setting the Tilt Angle

The tilt angle shows the direction to which the sound wave is emitted. When the sound wave is emitted horizontally, the tilt angle is said to be zero degrees and when emitted vertically, 90 degrees.

To set a tilt angle, operate the TILT lever. W atch the tilt angle indication at the top right

corner on the screen. The tilt angle can be set in one-degree steps from -5° (upward) to 60° (downward).

Finding a proper tilt angle is important when searching for fish. Below are tips for selecting tilt angle.

Seabed echo and tilt angle

Case 1: Tilt angle 30 to 40 degrees This tilt angle will display the entire seabed since it is captured

by the full width of the beam. Case 2: Tilt angle 10 to 20 degrees This tilt angle will only display half the seabed since it is only

captured by the lower half of the beam. Case 3: Tilt angle 0 to 10 degrees This tilt angle may or may not capture the seabed since the re-

turning echo is weak.

2-3

Page 20

How to discriminate fish echoes from the seabed

The figure below illustrates how two fish schools a and b are displayed on the screen using three different tilt angles.

Case 1: Tilt angle 30 to 40 degrees. Fish school is obscured by the seabed.

Case 2: Tilt angle 10 to 20 degrees. Fish school is located above the seabed (midwater).

Case 3: Tilt angle 0 to 10 degrees. Fish school is located close to the seabed.

Points to consider

• Normally , a vertically distributed fish school is a better sonar target than the seabed, because it reflects the transmitted pulse back toward the transducer .

• In case 3, both fish schools a and b are presented. Generally speaking, however, midwater fish schools tend to be lar ger than bottom fish schools and they are often displayed near the seabed on the display.

• It is difficult to detect bottom fish when they are not distributed vertically .

Page 21

Tilt angle for surface fish

Sound emitted from the sonar transducer forms a circle-shaped beam with a width of approximately 16 degrees in the vertical direction (vertical beam width). The tilt angle is indicated by the angle between the center line of the beam and the horizontal plane. Then, if the tilt angle is set to 0 degrees, the center line is parallel with the sea surface and one half of the emitted sound goes upward, toward the sea surface.

This causes one half of the emitted sound to be reflected toward the transducer and displayed on the screen as sea surface reflections. When the sea is calm, since the sound is reflected just like a light hitting a mirror at a narrow incident angle, it propagates away and the sea surface reflections become negligible.

However if the sea is not calm enough, they will become dominant and interfere with observation of wanted echoes. To minimize these sea surface reflections and to search surface fish schools effectively, the tilt angle is usually set between 5 and 6 degrees so the upper portion of the beam becomes almost parallel with the sea surface. When the sea is rough, it is often set to a little larger angle.

Adjusting the Gain

The GAIN control adjusts receiver sensitivity (gain). Adjust it so fish echoes are clearly displayed with minimal noise on the screen. Too high a setting not only displays excess noise and makes it difficult to discriminate wanted echoes but also causes seabed echoes to be painted in strong colors, resulting in echoes being masked by seabed reflections. Normally, set the control somewhere between positions “3” and “7”.

FINE TUNING THE PICTURE

Eliminating Unwanted Feeble Echoes

Echoes from targets such as seabed and fish return to the transducer in order of distance to them, and when we compare their intensities at the transducer face, those from nearer targets are generally stronger when their reflecting properties are nearly equal. The sonar operator will be quite inconvenienced if these echoes are directly displayed on the screen, since he can not judge the actual size of the target from the size of echoes displayed on the screen. T o overcome this inconvenience, the TVG function is incorporated. It compensates for propagation loss of sound in water; amplification of echoes on short range is suppressed and gradually increased as range increases so that similar targets are displayed in the similar intensities irrespective of the ranges to them.

The CSH-53 has three TVG functions, NEAR, MEDIUM and F AR, and they mainly compensate for propagation loss on short, middle and long ranges respectively , centered at the ranges shown below . The higher the TVG setting the greater the amplification of echoes.

Near

About 100 m

Med

About 400 m

Far

Figure 3-1 Principle of TVG

The TVG is also used to suppress unwanted echoes and noise which appear in a certain range area on the screen such as sea surface reflections and cruising noise. To set TVG properly, do the following:

How to adjust TVG

1. Open sub panel 2.

2. Select TVG•TX.

3. Set TVG NEAR, MEDIUM and FAR to 5.

3-1

Page 26

4. When sea surface reflections or plankton layers disturb the

picture, decrease appropriate TVG option by one or two steps by pressing – (minus) key.

5. Locate fish school on a long range setting (about 800 meters)

which is approaching own ship.

6. Adjust the tilt to keep the fish school in the center of the

sonar beam, namely, fish school is displayed in strongest colors possible. Confirm that the fish echo is displayed in the same color as it approaches. If the color suddenly changes to weaker colors as the fish enters MEDIUM and NEAR areas, the TVG is improperly set. Adjust the TVG. If this again produces sea surface reflections and noise try to remove them with AGC and NL controls.

Note: If the above procedure does not produce satisfactory results, the TVG curve can be changed on the SYSTEM menu. The 15 log setting is useful for searching fish schools near shorelines or shallow waters. The 30 log setting raises the gain on a long range and is suitable for tuna and bonito, which are usually searched with high gain setting.

3-2

Page 27

Suppressing Seabed Tail

AGC (data setting window: SIGNAL, SIGNAL PROCESS)

The AGC functions to automatically reduce the receiver gain only against strong echoes such as the seabed or a large fish school. Since weak echoes remain unaffected, a small fish school becomes easier to detect. Adjust it so that the AGC works only on seabed reflections. Do not set it too high; weak echoes may be missed.

Pulselength (data setting window: TVG • TX, PL)

The pulselength control determines the length of the transmission pulse emitted into the water. While a longer pulse is advantageous for long range sounding, it has the disadvantage of being poor in discrimination of targets, that is, ability to separate several closely located targets. When searching bottom fish, therefore, it is useful to shorten the pulselength in order to separate fish echoes from seabed reflections. Decrease the PULSELENGTH setting to shorten the pulselength. For search of surface and midwater fish in which seabed reflections are not so strong, use the longest pulselength “10”.

2AGC (data setting window: SIGNAL, SIGNAL PROCESS)

While it is ideal to suppress seabed echoes with the AGC control alone there are some fishing grounds where this is not possible. (The high power sonar has the advantage of long-range detection but this can also be a disadvantage, since weaker echoes may be hidden in strong, unwanted echoes such as the seabed.)

If you cannot suppress seabed echoes or sea surface reflections by the AGC control alone, use the 2AGC control. Normally a setting of 2 or 3 is suitable. For especially strong echoes, use a setting of 4 or 5.

AR, -4 to 1: Adjusts horizontal beamwidth

2AGC function is fixed at “3”. 0: 2AGC function is off. 1 to 5: Larger the number, the greater the effect of

2AGC.

Suppressing Seabed and Sea Surface Reflections in Shallow Waters

Data setting window: TVG•TX, OUTPUT

In shallow fishing grounds with hard or rocky bottom, seabed reflections often interfere with wanted fish echoes and they can not be eliminated sufficiently with the aforementioned TVG and AGC controls, especially when the TILT is set to a larger angle in order to track fish schools approaching within 400 m. In such cases try to reduce the output power by adjusting the OUTPUT control instead of turning down the gain. The picture becomes clearer when output power is reduced rather than when the GAIN is decreased as illustrated below.

Rejecting Sonar Interference and Noise

While observing the sonar picture, you may encounter occasional or intermittent noise and interference. These are mostly caused by on-board electronic equipment, engine or propeller noise, or electrical noise from other sonars being operated nearby.

Identifying noise source

T o eliminate noise effectively , you should first identify the noise source as follows:

3-4

Page 29

1. Turn off the TX switch and operate all on-board equipment

one by one while observing the picture.

2. Run the boat at various speeds to check if the noise is speed

dependent.

If neither of the above two steps has effect on the picture, adjust one of the following:

Interference rejector (data setting window: SIGNAL, SIGNAL PROCESS)

This control is similar to the interference rejector on echo sounders and radars. It is effective for rejecting random noise and sea surface reflections in rough sea conditions. Set it so that noise is just eliminated. Do not use an unnecessarily high setting since it may also reject small wanted echoes.

Changing Tx cycle (data setting window: TVG•TX, CYCLE)

When other sonars operate nearby at the same transmission interval as that of own ship’s sonar , an interference ring caused by other sonars is displayed. To erase the interference ring from the screen, reduce the CYCLE on the data setting window.

Interference

Tx cycle high Tx cycle lowered

Figure 3-3 How CYCLE works

Note: When the sonar is used in shallow water with the range set between 60 m and 200 m and Tx cycle at “9”, seabed reflections caused by the 2nd-to-the-last transmission may appear on near ranges. Reduce the Tx cycle setting to “2” or “3” to suppress them.

3-5

Page 30

Setting F-shift (data setting window: SONR•BEAM, SONAR)

If interference cannot be suppressed by the interference rejector (IR) or Tx cycle, change the setting of F-SHFT from 1 to 2.

Noise limiter (data setting window: SIGNAL, SIGNAL PROCESS)

W eak, unwanted reflections, colored light-blue or green, appear when the water is dirty, plankton layers exists, or due to ship’s noise. The noise limiter (NL) can reduce the effects of these unwanted reflections–raising the setting causes them to become bluish to background color. Normally a setting of 3 or 4 is suf ficient.

Detecting Fish Schools Aurally

Sometimes you may be preoccupied with other tasks and unable to concentrate on watching the sonar picture. In such cases it would be a good choice to use the audio function. This function enables you to monitor echoes from fish schools and seabed through the built-in speaker.

After you’ve become accustomed to monitoring fish aurally , you should be able to detect a fish school from a range longer than you can detect it on the screen. In addition you may judge whether the fish school is approaching or going away; the tone becomes higher when the school is approaching and lowers when the school is going away.

1. Operate the trackball to place the trackball mark to the direction you want to monitor through the speaker.

2. Press the R/B key. The bearing mark appears on the display. Echoes in a 30°, 60°, 90°, 180° or 330° sector centering the bearing mark are monitored through the speaker. You can adjust speaker volume with the AUDIO control.

3. To change coverage area, open the data setting window (sub panel 2) and change width of AUDIO SECTOR.

4. To scan the coverage area, open the data setting window, turn on AUTO SCAN and set scanning WIDTH.

Note: You can display the signal monitored through the loudspeaker on the history display combination window by pressing the HIST key, if AUDIO is selected on the HIST Window DSP menu in the USER menu.

Figure 7-11 Event mark description

Plotting an event mark on the display is equivalent to dropping a buoy with an anchoring chain that extends from surface to bottom. The buoy is fixed at its present geographical location, but the marker on the display moves to a point where present beam plane intersects the anchor chain of the buoy as the ship moves or the tilt angle is changed. This can be said of other marks as well such as fish mark and trackball mark.

Erasing an event mark

Open the data setting window (sub panel 2) and select DELETE MK. Press appropriate EVENT key to erase mark.

True Motion Display

The relative motion display places the own ship mark at the screen center, and echoes from fish and the seabed move on the screen relative to own ship’s movement. This means that even when the ship is dead in water, fish echoes move on the display.

In the true motion display , however , stationary objects are fixed and own ship and fish echoes move on the display in accordance with their true courses and speeds. Thus you can observe own ship and fish echo movement with respect to the seabed.

Open the data setting window and select SONR•BEAM. Set UP/ TM in the SONAR menu to TM. This function requires speed and heading inputs.

Although the true motion mode is available for use in all modes, use in the combination mode is not recommended since the own ship mark may move into the combination picture area.

Plotting Net Location Mark

Before shooting net, you will decide the shoot timing considering the water current direction, distance to fish school and moving direction of the fish school. Use the net location mark as a guide to decide the timing.

This function requires speed and heading inputs.

1. Place the trackball mark on fish school to be caught.

2. Press the NET COURSE key. The net location mark is depicted by dotted ring with a diameter equivalent to that of your purse seine net, being centered on the trackball mark.

Observing Net Behavior

With net sonde connection you can observe net behavior after the throwing of the net, on the echo sounder combination mode. Accurate depiction of net sonde position depends on proper setting of the distances between net sonde transmitters. You can set those distances on NET SONDE XMTR in the DAT A SET menu.

This function requires speed and heading inputs.

1. Press the SHOOT key just upon throwing the net into the water.

Then, the net shooting mark ( mark and also at the right edge of the echo sounder picture. Afterwards, whenever a net sonde transmitter on the net is thrown into water, a net sonde mark appears on own ship mark and moves with ship movement. The depths of net sonde transmitter units are digitally displayed at the lower left of the screen after the receiving transducer is placed into water. The net sonde marks appear also on the echo sounder picture as below , where the length of vertical line shows the depth of the net sonde transmitter unit.

2. To erase net sonde mark and associated data, press the SHOOT key again.

Reducing Sea Surface Reflections

Sea surface reflections can be reduced by sharpening the horizontal Rx beam width with the NARROW key. You may preset the reduction level with NARROW in the SONR•BEAM menu in the data setting window . The normal setting is 0. Increase the setting when, for example, searching small fish. Note that it is also useful to increase the setting when observing bottom conditions, since the picture is more detailed.

Boosting Tx Power

INTERPRETING THE DISPLA Y

Seabed Echoes

When the tilt angle is widened, the seabed echo illustrated below will appear on the display. When the tilt is narrowed, the seabed trace becomes wider and weaker . By observing the seabed condition on the display, the skipper can prevent net damage.

(A) Flat seabed

Tilt angle: 10° to 15°

Narrow tilt angle Only half of vertical beam width captures the seabed.

(B) Flat seabed

Tilt angle: 20° or more

Seabed is displayed narrower and in stronger colors when compared to (A).

Shallow bottom is displayed in a strong color and with a short tail.

A wake produced by own ship or another ship can be a strong reflecting object when a narrow tilt angle is used. As the wake appears as a thick continuous line, it can be easily distinguished from a fish school. A wake contains many air bubbles which attenuate ultrasonic energy , making it dif ficult to sound beyond the wake.

False Echo by Sidelobe

An ultrasonic wave is emitted only in the direction set by the TILT lever , however there are some emissions outside the main beam. These are called sidelobes. The energy of the sidelobe is fairly weak but when the water is comparatively shallow and the bottom is rocky and hard, strong signals are detected by the sidelobe. These are represented on the display as a false echo as shown below .

WARNINGS

Overvoltage W arning

If the input voltage to this unit rises above 125 VAC, the overvoltage detection circuit activates, an alarm sounds and the message OVERVOLTAGE appears at the screen center.

If this occurs, retract the transducer , turn the power off and check the ship’s mains voltage. It should be about 100 VAC.

Unretracted T ransducer Warning

If the transducer is not completely retracted within 30 seconds after pressing c, an alarm sounds and the message XDCR NOT RETRACTED! appears at the screen center.

If this occurs, do the following:

1. The power cannot be turned off because the transducer cannot be retracted. Turn off the main breaker for the display and power supply units to stop operation.

2. Confirm that the net is not tangled in the transducer.

3. Confirm that the breaker inside the raise/lower control box (mounted on the hull unit) is on.

4. Remove the cover of the raise/lower control box. Push the (Red) reset button to reset the raise/lower control box.

5. Turn on the power and press c to retract the transducer into the tank. If it does not retract, the main shaft of the hull unit may be bent. Turn off the power and manually raise the transducer up to the highest position by using the hand crank. (See the illustration on the next page.)

Note 1: GPS has priority. Switched automatically from GPS to DR when GPS data is absent for more than 61 seconds or ship's speed measured with GPS is 0.2 kts or less. If DR is not available when switched from GPS to DR, heading readout is fixed at 0 degrees and ship's track is plotted by using the last GPS data obtained before switching to DR. If you still require speed, heading data from GPS even though ship's speed is less than 0.2 kts, set the GPS forrnat to DR. Note however that the heading direction becomes erratic if the ship's speed is less than 0.2 kts.

Note 2: Use this setting when both DR and current indicator are available. Normally DR data has highest priority, and is switched to current indicator data if the DR data is absent for more than 61 seconds. The heading data for the bearing scale is always provided from the current indicator. When DR data is taken from GPS be sure to set GPS output format to "DR." GPS with no "DR" output format cannot be used.
