USING THE LEGEND 2000 SERIES

Performance

The

LEGEND 2000 SERIES

represents a new way of thinking about fishing electronics. It combines state-of-the-art electronics with the detail of a traditional sonar paper chart recorder to create the fishfinder of the future. Minimal, easy-to-understand knob controls provide access to the most important features. The L

EGEND

2000 S

ERIES

eliminates confusion created by

too many buttons and menus. High technology, high performance, with “back to basics” operation makes the L

EGEND

2000 S

ERIES

the ideal choice of the

serious angler. The L

EGEND

2000 S

ERIES

uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects. Sonar technology is based on sound waves sent into the water in a controlled “beam” from the transducer. Objects within this beam reflect the sonar signal back. The L

EGEND

2000 S

ERIES

very accurately measures the distance to these objects based on the time it takes for the sonar to return. Each object (bottom, fish or structure) reflects the sonar uniquely, providing information about its makeup. The L

EGEND

2000 S

ERIES

draws this returned information on the

display. The L

EGEND

2000 S

ERIES

operates in a wide variety of water conditions, from 2' to 600' (2000' for the Legend 2000 Deep and 2005 Deep Models). Actual depth capability depends on many factors such as bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation. All sonar units typically read to deeper depths in fresh water than in salt water.

Deep Models Additional Performance

If you purchased a Legend 2000 Deep or a Legend 2005 Deep Model, your Legend product is equipped with a 50kHz/200kHz dual beam transducer capable of performing to a depth of 2000 feet. In addition, your unit contains several extra features that will enhance its sonar performance in deep water.

ONAR VIEW allows you to display the sonar information from either beam or

both beams simultaneously. F

ILTER control allows the filtering algorithms to be

turned off to show the greatest amount of sonar information. F

ISH ALARM, FISH

SENSITIVITY, and FISH ID provide advanced signal processing to identify fish and show their depth and relative size from either beam.

Powering Up the Unit

After installation, turn the LEGEND 2000 SERIES on by momentarily pressing the G

AIN knob. An audible chirp sounds as the unit turns on. If the unit detects

that the transducer is connected and is in water, the L

EGEND 2000 SERIES

begins to show sonar information on the display. If the transducer is not detected, the unit starts up in S

IMULATOR mode.

To power the unit off at any time, press and hold the G

AIN knob for several

seconds until the unit turns off.

Simulator and Feature Memory

The LEGEND 2000 SERIES contains a

SIMULATOR that allows you to use the

unit as though you are on the water. The

SIMULATOR is an invaluable aid to learning the features and functions

of the

LEGEND 2000 SERIES. All controls are operational and settings can be

changed to experiment with various features. An indicator appears at the bottom left of the display when operating in

SIMULATOR mode.

There are two ways to start the

SIMULATOR.The method to use depends on

whether a transducer is connected.

Power On with No Transducer

If the LEGEND 2000 SERIES is powered on with no transducer connected, it starts up in

SIMULATOR mode. No other

steps are needed. In this mode, the

LEGEND 2000 SERIES does not remember any setting changes after power

off, but defaults to the factory settings.

Power On with Transducer Connected

If the LEGEND 2000 SERIES is powered on with the transducer connected, the

SIMULATOR must be turned on manually. To turn on the SIMULATOR

manually:

1. Press the Control Panel knob to display the list of options.

2. Rotate the Control Panel knob to scroll through the list until Simulator is visible and is highlighted on the display.

3. Turn the Range knob to turn Simulator from Off to On.

4. Press the Control Panel knob to clear the screen.

When operating with the Simulator on and the transducer connected, changes made to the following Control Panel choices are permanently remembered: Chart Speed, RTS Window, Surface Clutter, Contrast, White Line, Units, and in International Models, Language.

USER INTERFACE

The LEGEND 2000 SERIES User Interface is made up of the following components: knobs and the LCD Display, which in turn is made up of the RTS (Real Time Sonar™) and the Chart Windows.

Knobs

Three knobs on the LEGEND 2000 SERIES control all user settings: GAIN, CONTROL

PANEL and RANGE.

Gain Knob

The GAIN knob controls the gain (sometimes called sensitivity) of the sonar receiver. GAIN also powers the unit ON or OFF. When the LEGEND 2000 SERIES is off, press GAIN to turn the unit on. Press and hold GAIN to turn the unit off.

Turn the G

AIN

knob clockwise to increase the gain; turn counterclockwise to decrease the gain. As you turn the knob, only new sonar information being graphed shows the effect of the gain change.

Increasing the gain shows faint sonar returns from small bait fish and suspended debris in the water, but the display may become too cluttered in some water conditions. Increased gain is also beneficial at deeper depths to maintain a good bottom image and show adequate sonar returns from deep objects. Decreasing the gain eliminates the clutter from the display; however, if adjusted too low, the display may not show many faint sonar returns that could be fish.

Control Panel Knob

The CONTROL PANEL knob accesses features used to adjust some LEGEND 2000 SERIES settings. Push the knob to display the CONTROL PANEL list, then rotate the knob to select a feature for adjustment. A light colored background indicates the selected feature. Turn the

RANGE knob to adjust the selected feature. Remove the CONTROL PANEL list from the display by pushing the CONTROL PANEL knob again. If no adjustments are made after a

few seconds, the

CONTROL PANEL list is removed

automatically.

Range Knob

The

RANGE knob adjusts the

depth ranges used on the display. The RANGE knob has slightly different capabilities in each mode of operation. See

MODES OF OPERATION for specific

information. In all modes, turning the knob clockwise increases the range, while turning it counterclockwise decreases the range. Turning the knob slowly increases the adjustment in small increments, while turning it quickly makes large changes to the adjustment.

The LCD Display

The LEGEND 2000 SERIES uses a high-resolution LCD display to show sonar information, digital depth, temperature, speed and other readouts.

A digital depth readout ranging from 2' to 600' (2000' for the Legend Deep Models) is always displayed in the upper left corner of the LCD. When the speed/temp accessory is connected, additional digital readouts (such as MPH) are shown below the depth. A voltage readout appears in the bottom left when the input voltage to the

LEGEND 2000 SERIES

is less than 10 volts or greater than 16 volts. A depth range scale appears close to the right side of

the LCD display. This scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. For example, in 18 feet of water, a 20 foot depth range is selected. The depth range scale can be controlled automatically or manually depending on the mode of operation. In

AUTOMATIC and BTM LOCK (BOTTOM LOCK) modes, the LEGEND 2000 S

ERIES selects the depth range. In MANUAL mode, the

depth range is selected by the user.

USING THE LEGEND 2000 SERIES

USER INTERFACE / KNOBS / LCD DISPLAY

www.reelschematic.com

The sonar returns received by the LEGEND 2000 SERIES are displayed along the depth range scale in a REAL TIME

SONAR™ (RTS) WINDOW and CHART WINDOW. The RTS WINDOW

displays new sonar information within the transducer cone in an expanded, easy-to-see format; the CHART

WINDOW logs old RTS WINDOW information to show a contour

view of the bottom and structure.

Real Time Sonar™ (RTS) Window

The REAL TIME SONAR (RTS) WINDOW shows instantaneous sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS WINDOW updates with new sonar information much more quickly than the CHART

WINDOW - up to 20 times per

second in shallow water. The

RTS WINDOW responds to

quickly-changing depths in a way similar to a flasher type sonar display. Interpreting the RTS information requires some skill; comparing the RTS data with the data in the CHART WINDOW, however, makes the RTS information easy to understand.

The RTS WINDOW plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return. Sonar intensity is indicated by the length of the horizontal lines, while depth is indicated by the vertical placement of the lines next to the depth range scale. The intensity of the sonar return is divided into four levels of grayscale. The most intense returns are shown in black; less intense sonar returns are shown in progressively lighter shades of gray.

The combination of the length of the lines and the gray scale level helps to identify the bottom composition and structure. The bottom displays as the largest grouping of black horizontal lines, and typically has gray lines underneath. A harder bottom shows less gray below; a soft bottom shows more gray below. Structure appears above the bottom as a cluster of lines with varying lengths and gray shades.

Fish appear as smaller groupings of sonar returns between the bottom and surface. Often, large fish within a structure will show as a strong return within a grouping of smaller returns. When the boat is stationary or drifting very slowly, the RTS WINDOW can show the movement of the fish through the transducer beam. Moving fish appear as smaller groups of lines that become progressively larger lines, or vice versa. A grouping of lines moving vertically indicates a fish changing depth.

The width of the RTS WINDOW can be adjusted to your preference. Selecting a wider RTS WINDOW shows greater differences between the strength of the sonar returns, although doing this will reduce the amount of history on the display. See CONTROL PANELS for details on adjusting the RTS WINDOW.

The Chart Window

The CHART WINDOW creates a historical log of sonar returns from stored RTS information. As the boat moves, variations in the depth and sonar return changes are charted to form an image of the bottom contour. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display.

The CHART WINDOW also indicates the composition of the bottom. A hard bottom, such as compacted sediment or flat rock, appears as a dark, thin line across the display. A soft bottom, such as mud or sand, appears as a thicker line that contains a transition from darker to lighter grays. Bottoms made up of many rocks have a broken, random appearance.
