1100 Series™ Introduction
Your 1100 Series™ Ultra Wide Screen Fishing System comes in several different configurations. See the following list of products, all of which are covered by this manual, to find your 1100 Series™ configuration:
•Humminbird® 1158c Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with DualBeam PLUS™ sonar and chartplotting. GPS receiver included.
•Humminbird® 1158c DI Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with Down Imaging™ Sonar, traditional 2D sonar, and Chartplotting. GPS Receiver included.
•Humminbird® 1198c SI Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with Side Imaging® Sonar, DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar, Down Imaging™ Sonar, and chartplotting. GPS receiver included.
How Sonar Works
Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 1100 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer.
Your 1100 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object.
Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal.
SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam.
The sound pulses "echo" back from objects in the water such as the bottom, fish, and other submerged objects. The returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a new echo is received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a scrolling effect.
1 |
Introduction |
When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret “graph” of the bottom, fish, and structure appears.
The sound pulses are transmi tted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability.
The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods:
•Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle.
•Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points.
The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise, better high speed performance, and enhanced depth capability.

High Definition Side Imaging® Sonar
(1198c SI Combo models only)
Your 1198c SI Combo uses Side Imaging® sonar to provide a wide yet precise survey of a large area of water, including detailed bottom topography and fish-attracting structure orientation. The Side Imaging® transducer returns are processed into an image similar to an aerial photograph.
Typically, the Side Imaging® sonar can search an area that is 480 feet wide (240 to each side), with a typical depth performance of 150 feet when the Side Imaging® Sonar frequency is set for 455 kHz. The side beams can be operated at one of two frequencies: 455 kHz or 800 kHz. Selecting 800 kHz produces the sharpest image but the search area to each side and the depth capability are limited as compared to the 455 kHz frequency. See What’s on the Side Imaging® Display and Understanding the Side Imaging® Display for more information.
The Side Imaging® transducer also provides down imaging displays on the screen. See What’s on the Down Imaging™ Display for more information.
DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar
(1158c, 1198c SI)
Your 1100 Series™ Fishing System uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers an area 20 feet wide. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately, or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS™ is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation.

Down Imaging™ Sonar
(1158c DI only, XNT 9 DI T)
Your 1158c DI Fishing System uses Down Imaging™ technology. The Down Imaging™ transducer scans the water with razor-thin, highdefinition beams. The beams are wide (side to side) but very thin front to back.
The Down Imaging™ beams can be operated at two frequencies: 455 kHz (75°) or 800 kHz (45°). Select 455 kHz for the best overall image quality and depth. Select 800 kHz for the sharpest image. See Down Imaging™ X-Press™ Menu: Imaging Frequency for more information.
The transducer also uses conical beams to provide data in traditional 2D format (see What’s on the Sonar View). Select 455 kHz for a narrowly focused 16° center beam, or select 200 kHz for a wider 25° beam (see Sonar Menu Tab: Beam Select).
Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation.
QuadraBeam PLUS™ Sonar
(optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer only [1158c and 1198c SI only])
Your Fishing System supports the optionalpurchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer. QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar provides a wide (90°) area of coverage. QuadraBeam PLUS™ starts with two fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side Structure locating sonar beams to spot fish, bait, and structure to the left and right of the boat over an area of the bottom that’s always equal to twice your depth.
For a detailed view below the boat, QuadraBeam PLUS™ uses DualBeam PLUS™ technology, with precision 20° and wide 60° beams. QuadraBeam PLUS™ finds more fish faster and can even tell you where to put your bait by showing if fish are to the left, right, or directly beneath your boat.

Universal Sonar 2
Your 1100 Series™ Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-the-art, integrated and protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of Minn Kota® trolling motors. With Universal Sonar 2, all wiring is concealed inside the indestructible composite shaft—out of sight and out of harm’s way, with no clamps, ties, or exposed wires. Universal Sonar 2 features new temperature sensing and the performance of DualBeam PLUS™ technology. An expanded view and greater bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water below, along with optimal sonar performance to help you find fish.
How GPS and Cartography Work
Your Fishing System also supports GPS (Global Positioning System) and chartplotting. It uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information.
GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.
GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 4.5 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 4.5 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.
The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the Fishing System when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:
•View current position
•View current track (breadcrumb trail)
•View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
•Save tracks, waypoints, and routes
•Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next
