Power On the Unit

How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 300 Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer.

Your 300 Series™ Fishfinder 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 uses 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.

How Sonar Works

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 transmitted 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.

How Sonar Works

DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar

Your 300 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.

How Sonar Works

How GPS Works

Your 300 Series™ Fishfinder 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 300 Series™ Fishfinder 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.

See Chart View and Introduction to Navigation: Add Maps to Your Fishfinder for more information.

How GPS Works

What’s on the Sonar Display

The 300 Series™ Fishfinder can display a variety of useful information about

Depth - Water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow.

Temperature - Water surface temperature.

Timer - Elapsed time with Temp/Speed

Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Distance - Distance traveled with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Average Speed - Average speed reading with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Speed - If a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the Fishfinder can display the speed of the boat and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled.

Second Sonar Return - When the sonar signal bouncesbetweenthebottom and thesurface of the water and back again. Use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottomswillshowa strongsecondreturn,while soft bottoms will show a very weak oneor noneat all.

Cursor Dialog Box - Indicates cursor depth on the display and the depth of the bottom directly below the cursor. The Latitude and Longitude of the cursor position, the distance to travel to the cursor position, and the bearing to the cursor position are shown with a GPS receiver. A waypoint can be marked at the cursor position for later retrieval and use with a GPS receiver.

NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either the information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view.

the area under your boat, including the following items:

High Sonar Intensity Return

Bait Ball

Fish - The Fishfinder displays fish as arches

and/or fish icons, and can be set to alarm when a fish of a certain size is detected. When a target is detected, a Fish ID+™ symbol appears on the display with the depth displayed above it. The size of the symbol indicates the intensity of the sonar return. The unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed.

Thermoclines - Layers of water with different temperatures that appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of many colors moving across the display at the same depth.

Cursor - Available in Freeze Frame and can be positioned in the Sonar View to provide depth of a sonar return and bottom depthbelow the cursor.

UUnnddeerrssttaannddiinngg tthhee SSoonnaarr DDiissppllaayy

It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does not show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected, not exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects shown on the display.

The returned sonar echoes are displayed on the screen. As a new echo is received, the historical data scrolls left across the view.

RReeaall TTiimmee SSoonnaarr ((RRTTSS™™)) WWiinnddooww

A Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The RTS Window™ updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure, and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS Window™ plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu Tab: RTS Window™).

The Narrow RTS Window™ indicates the sonar intensity through the use of colors. Red indicates a strong return and blue indicates a weak return. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale.

What’s on the Sonar Display

The Wide RTS Window™ indicates the sonar intensity through the use of a bar graph. The length of the plotted return indicates whether the return is weak or strong. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS Window™ does not use grayscale.

SSwwiittcchhFFiirree™™

SwitchFire™ controls how the sonar returns are displayed in the Sonar Views. SwitchFire™ settings are available in the Sonar Menu Tab.

To see the maximum sonar information available within the transducer beam so more fish arches and better jig tracking are shown, choose Max Mode.

To see less clutter and more fish size accuracy interpreted from the transducer beam, choose Clear Mode. See Sonar Menu Tab: SwitchFire™ for more information.

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance.

The sonar returns from the bottom, structure, and fish can be represented as WhiteLine™ or Structure ID®. See Sonar Menu Tab: Bottom View to set the bottom view.

What’s on the Sonar Display

Structure ID® represents weak returns in blue and strong returns in red.

WhiteLine™ highlights the strongest sonar returns in white, resulting in a

distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display.
