Reﬂections from the sea bottom are displayed in red provided that the sensitivity is properly set (☞ P. 52).

Screen images of the sea bottom provide you with information on the topographical and geological features of the sea bottom. Such information will help you search for good ﬁshing banks.

Submarine terrains may be ﬂat or hilly, just as is the case with land. On screen images, topographical features of the sea bottom are displayed, as in:

Assuming that its geological features are constant, the displayed contour of a flat terrain has a uniform width.

The displayed contour of a hilly terrain has a long tailing*

. This is because the ultrasonic sent from the transducer has a certain beam angle and hence reflections from a bank vary in time of their returning to the transducer*

*1 The depth of water immediately underneath the ship

looks shallower than the actual depth.

The displayed contour of a bank tends to be narrow.

The contour of a soft terrain is display loses redness in color and has a short railing*

. This is because soil or sand absorbs much of the ultrasonic. *

rSOUNDER MODEq HOW TO READ IMAGES

(16)-2 Reﬂection from a ﬁsh

school

Å Reading the size of a ﬁsh school

In general, reﬂections from a ﬁsh school form a light-colored downturn between the sea level and bottom on the screen.

Information provided by the screen image of a ﬁsh school includes the size and density of the shoal. Comparison, as a routine matter, between the screen image and the actual ﬁshery will permit you to read the image exactly.

The image size of s a ﬁsh school is in proportion to the actual size.

When the system detects two same-sized ﬁsh school at different depths, however, the ﬁsh school located at a deeper position will be displayed as a smaller-sized image on the screen. This is because the ultrasonic radiates at a cone-shaped beam angle from the transducer and therefore the deeper the object position is, the longer the time for which it is radiated with the beam. The relationship between the image size and the depth of an object depends on the image feed rate and the ship speed.

Larger fish school

GPS 48°21.417N 125°26.643W

The higher the density of a ﬁsh school is, the closer to red the color of the image is (i.e., the higher the strength of signals reﬂected from the object is).

When two images having the same density (same signal strength) are displayed at different depths on the same screen, however, the density of the two ﬁsh schools are different; the deeper one is actually denser than the shallower one. This is because the deeper the object position is, the more the pulses reﬂected from the object delay.

(16)-3 Secondary reﬂections

from the sea bottom

In shallow-depth areas, phantom contours of the sea bottom may often occur under the actual contour.

These phantom contours of the sea bottom are caused by secondary reﬂections from the sea bottom (bounce of the ultrasonic wave between the sea bottom and the water surface or the ship). This symptom tends to occur in particular when the ship bottom is rocky or a low frequency is used. The secondary contours will appear at depths of integral multiples of the actual depth of water.

Plankton may sometimes gather and form a layer.

Such a layer looks like a cloud on the screen and may expand to the depths. Since plankton forms the food of many ﬁsh, detection of plankton layers will lead to an increase in ﬁshery. Plankton are light-sensitive, and live in the depth in the daytime and emerge to a shallow depth at night.

Tidal current layers may occur depending on the speed or route of tidal currents.

In areas where different tidal currents encounter, air bubbles or plankton form a layer, which is displayed on the screen, as in:

(16)-6 Inﬂuence of air bubbles

If the ultrasonic beam passes through air bubbles, reﬂections from a shoal of ﬁsh or the sea bottom may deteriorate or be interrupted, resulting in voids occurring on the screen image.

This symptom is apt to occur when a low frequency is used, the ship turns and passes through its own track, or the sea is rough. Voids on the screen mean that the ultrasonic energy is dissipated or absorbed by air bubbles.

ı Installing the main unit

Install the main unit as follows.

q Choose the installation position of the stand of the main unit. w Mark center points through the four mounting holes of the stand and then drill a

hole of 5 mm in diameter at each of the marked points.

e Secure the stand with the self-tapping screws, ﬂat washers and spring washers. r Mount the main unit onto the stand and secure it with two mounting screws. t Push the tilting lever down and adjust the angle of the unit as appropriate; then

return the lever to the original position.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

This system operates from an 11 to 30 VDC power source.

Connect the power cable as follows. q Connect the connectorless end of the cable to the battery as shown in the over-

all connection diagram (☞ P. 68).

* Exercise care to avoid reverse connection in polarity. Reverse connection may

cause a blowout of the fuse or damage to the system.

w Connect the connector end of the cable to the PWR connector located on the

rear panel of the system.

Be sure to ground the system properly.

Failure to do so may cause a malfunction or fault of the system. To establish a ground for the system, use a ground cable of adequate size to connect between the GND terminal and the engine block or hull in the shortest distance.

Never connect ground cables for other electronic devices to the grounding mass that is used to ground the system.

Since GPS signals reaches the system from a distance of several hundred miles, noise sources near the system may result in failure to take full advantage of the system.

Noise sources include generator, ﬁshﬁnder, radar, computer and ﬂuorescent lamp. The system should be placed apart from these noise sources as far as possible or the noise sources except the generator should not be used during the use of the system. Take the following measures against noises due to the generator among others. q Prepare an electrolytic capacitor and a ﬁlm capacitor having the follo wing ratings

depending on the system’s power source voltage.

w Solder the electrolytic capacitor and ﬁlm capacitor in parallel with each other.

And as shown in the ﬁgure on the left, connect lead wires to the capacitor combination and cover the lead connections with silicon rubber to av oid current leakage.

* The lead wires must not exceed 4 in (10 cm) in length.

e Connect the positive end of the capacitor combination to the generator output

terminal and the negative end to the grounding mass such as the engine block.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

6-4 Installing the GPS antenna

When installing the GPS antenna, observe the following.

q Install the antenna at the top of the highest and obstacle-free position of the

ship.

w Install the antenna in a horizontal position.

Install the antenna with a extention pipe and the horse bands as follows.

e Install the antenna at a position at least 1 m away from the main unit or other

electronic devices.

r Do not paint the antenna.

Doing so will deteriorate the sensitivity of the antenna due to metal components of a paint.

t Install the antenna and route the antenna cable at some distance from other

antennas or antenna cables (such as a TV antenna and radio), metal objects, and the main unit. It is recommended not to use a TV during the use of the system.

Horse bands (supplied)

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

6-5 Installing an optional transducer

Various types of transducers and ship speed/water temperature sensors are available as options to suit your application.

The performance of the ﬁshﬁnder greatly depends on the installation posi- tion of the transducer.

Transducers are mainly divided into two types: the through-the-hull type and the transom type. Install the transducer in the following area. q Area where the possibility of on-screen voids due to air bubbles or water turbu-

lence is minimized;

w Area that resists being exposed to noises from the engine; e Area where the transducer is kept horizontal e ven if the ship runs at high speed;

(The optimum installation position of the transducer is said to be at a distance of a half or one-third of the ship length from the stern for low-speed small ships, and to be located close to the stern for high-speed ships.)

r Area where the bottom plate is the thinnest in the vicinity of the stern (for inner-

hull type transducer; the ultrasonic decays when it passes through the bottom plate).

¡ Do not plug or unplug a cable into of from the TRANSDUCER connector.

Doing so may cause damage to the ship speed sensor.

¡ A transducer must be installed by a shipbuilder or an expert installer.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

6-6 Connecting an external

navigator

6-7 DGPS

An external navigation equipments can be connected to the NMEA connector on the rear panel of the system.

Connect a 4-pin microphone connector to the NMEA connector and plug the data line in the 1-pin connector and the data return line in the 2-pin connector. When using an external navigator, set “Positioning Equipment” to “NMEA” on the Positioning Menu screen (☞ P. 34). When sending positioning data obtained from the build-in GPS navigator to optional radar MR-61/610, Marine plotter VP-21 or other devices, plug these devices to the NMEA connector (3-pin/4-pin) on the rear panel of the system while referring to the overall connection diagram on page 70.

The DGPS is a newly established system intended to impro ve the positioning precision of the GSP.

Connecting RD-200, a DGPS beacon receiver, allows the system to receive correction data from a land DGPS reference station, thereby enabling the positioning precision to be further improved. The nominal positioning precision is 100 m when only the GPS is used, but using the DGPS leads to the nominal precision of 10 m. * For details, see the RD-200 Instruction Manual.

This system is designed to be easy to maintain for the operator. Proper maintenance allows to the system to be kept in a optimum state and prevents the possibility of malfunctions. As a high voltage is used in the system, be sure to read the Safety Notice on page1 before commencing maintenance work. q To remove dirt from the cover or key panel, wipe it using a soft cloth damped

with a water-diluted detergent.

w To clean the TFT display, wipe it using a soft cloth damped with an anti-static

agent or water.

e Check cable connections and the GND terminal for contamination and loose-

ness. Also check cables for wear.

r Check the transducer surface, cables and connectors for rust or adhesion of

marine organisms such as algae. To clean the transducer surface, wipe it using a soft brush damped with a detergent.

t The main unit of the system contains a lithium battery that retains data in RAM.

This backup battery has a life of approx. ﬁve (5) years. If the battery is completely dead, registered navigational marks and routes are lost. If these symptoms appear, contact your dealer or our local sales ofﬁce.

All the circuits of the system are fuse-protected. If the [POWER] key is inoperative, proceed as follows.

q Open the fuse holder of the power cable, remove the burnt fuse. w Locate and remove the cause of a fuse blowout, install a new fuse.

Use the replacement fuse rated at 3 A.

* Fuses are contained in the main unit.

If replacing the fuse of the power cable fails to remove the symptom, contact your dealer or our service personnel for inspection.
