ECHO SOUNDING GENERAL INFORMATION
An echo sounder is a device which transmits an ultrasonic energy wave into the
water; listens for echoes from that ultra-
-:
TRANSDUCER
sonic wave and then displays the returning
echoes onto the LCD panel or CRT video
display. The elapsed time that it takes for
ENERGY WAVE
the pulse energy to travel down through
the water and be reflected back as echoes
can be measured and converted into units
of depth in the echo sounder.
ifthe
The frequency of this “ultrasonic” wave, the beam angle at which it is
transmitted, and the power at which it is sent will all
play
an important part
in determining the appearance of the echoes on the display.
The normal components of an echo sounder are a display unit containing
the electronic circuits, and a transducer for sending and receiving the sonic
energy. The echo sounder is one of the most useful pieces of electronic
equipment aboard a boat. In addition to indicating the depth of the water,
it can indicate whether the bottom is hard or soft, smooth or irregular in
contour and
whether
fish are present below the boat.
Echo returns from the bottom, from fish or fish schools, seaweed, grass,
bubbles, or plankton are received by the echo sounder in various echo
strengths. The bottom echo is usually the strongest echo return while
returns from fish are generally very weak. In color echo sounders, such as
the
V8010,
these different echoes are displayed in distinct colors (up to 16
colors can be used) for easy recognition by the operator. Whether fish
INTRODUCTION 3
Page 12
echoes are displayed on the echo sounder (or not) can depend on several
factors including:
*The type or species of the fish
l
Number and sires of the fish
l
Depth of fish below the boat
l
Gain control setting
*Transmitter Power and frequency
l
Transducer beam angle
l
Speed of the boat
l
Turbulence in the water
1.3.l
DETERMINING
To understand how bottom conditions affect the bottom echo’s appearance on the display, consider the signal transmitted from the transducer as
a cone-shaped beam of approximately 10 degrees. If the sea bottom were
as hard and flat as a mirror, only the signal directly under the transducer
would be reflected back to the transducer, and there would be a narrow
bottom echo line printed on the display screen.

This type of echo line is typical characteristic of hard sandy sea bottoms.
Sometimes when the depth is shallow and the bottom is
echo can appear at exactly double the depth of the true bottom echo.
If the sea bottom is softer (sea grasses or muddy), the echo bottom line
would print thicker on the screen. This is because the echo consists not only
of that weaker echo reflected from the top surface of the grass or mud, but
very hard

includes some energy that penetrates into the grass
, soft
sand, or mud and
then reflects back to the transducer slightly delayed in time. Under some
conditions, the sonic energy is strong enough to penetrate the soft bottom
and show a harder sub-botton such as an oyster beds or ledges.
If the sea bottom is made up of coral beds, wrecks, or rock piles, the
irregular surfaces of the bottom structures provide a series of closely spaced
echo returns from the various angles of the bottom. On screen, the bottom
line appears irregular with long tails as shown in the “Live Bottom”
figure.
Generally, these bottom conditions provide an ideal habitat for locating
fish.
On your display the echoes are printed on the CRT screen beginning at
the right edge adjacent to the range scale marks. Each time the echo
sounder transmits and receives, the new echoes replace the old echoes at
the right edge and the picture is
shifted
to the left. You can see the received
echoes even more clearly when you turn on the A-Scope feature of the

from orbiting satellites.
These satellites transmit accurately timed signals along with a navigation message containing
the satellite’s position, precise time correction
signals, as well as almanac data for all of the
satellites in the constellation.
The
RAYSTAR
100
GPS sensor measures the time-of-arrival ofeach satellite
signal and calculates the range to each tracked satellite. If the range to the
satellites is known, the position of your vessel can be determined by
triangulation of the range data of the satellites in view, and presented in
Latitude and Longitude.

If it were possible to measure true satellite ranges directly, it would only
be necessary to track data from any two satellites to obtain a vessel’s
latitude/longitude. In actual practice, for marine navigation the receiver
must trackaminimum

satellites.This
is necessaryto resolve timing errors including
the receiver’s own internal clock timing bias

range calculations.

highly accurate position fixes for navigation. (+ I- 15M rms).
Continuous tracking of each satellite signal allows the receiver to perform
this timing adjustment process and to calculate accurate measurements to
the satellites. The
RAYSTAR
100
uses high-speed multiplexed scanning in a
single channel receiver. This receiver design method provides fast efficient
acquisition and accurate position updating, while saving in overall unit size
and weight, cost, and power consumption.
Unfortunately, the Department of Defense has included a special mode
into the GPS satellite system design which introduces variable timing errors
into the satellite signals. This mode is known as “Selective
Availability”and
when it is enabled, it is designed to provide less accurate fixes for all users
(except authorized military users). Accuracy in the order of + /- 100 meters
rms 95 % of the time is obtained when SA is ON. This means that 95 % of
the time the actual position will be within a radius of
100
meters; 5 % of the
time it will be outside of this 100 meter circle. Selective Availability has
been enabled

will be adequate to reach to the source of DC power. The 3 pin watertight
connector plugs into the rear panel receptacle in the lower left comer of
the unit marked DC 12-40V.
The power leads should normally be routed to the ship’s DC power
distribution panel on larger boats. The unit requires 5 amps of current; is
fused at 10 amps. So connection to a 10 amp or (maximum of) 15 amp circuit
breaker is recommended. On smaller vessels, the power leads may be
connected directly to the main battery isolation switch or breaker. For best
noise immunity from the other shipboard electronics avoid grouping the
unit’s power connections together with the radar, radio, or other navaids,
such as loran or GPS on the same circuit breaker. The power leads should
be separated as much as possible from other devices.
Although the unit’s power consumption is approximately50 watts, if the
power cable leads need to be extended more than 10 feet, the gauge of the
wire leads should be increased accordingly to minimize line losses. For
runs of
20-35
feet # 12 AWG is recommended.
Confirm the power leads are connected to the correct terminal polarity!
The WHITE wire should be connected to the Positive (+ ) source terminal;
the BLACK wire should be connected to the Negative (-) source terminal.
If the power leads are accidentally reversed, the rear panel fuse will blow.
If this happens, recheck the polarity of the power cord connections with a
voltmeter (VOM) and, if necessary, reverse the leads for a proper polarity
connection. Replace the fuse.

Grounding The Echo Sounder
One very important requirement in installation of shipboard electronics
is to obtain the cleanest, noise-free environment possible so each piece of
electronic equipment can work to its best performance levels. This requirement isaccomplished byassuringaproper connection from each equipment
to the ship’s RF ground system. The ground provides a drain for shipboard
noise transmission and pickup.
A separate ground wire of # 10 or # 12 AWG (# 10 recommended) should
be connected from the ground screw marked
“E”on
the rear of the unit to
the nearest connection point of the ship’s ground system.
Normally,on a steel hull

good clean connection to the hullprovides

plate or to the engine block and other bonded groundwork should be
acceptable.

transducer installation considerations for locating transducers on the ves-

-

transducer and the
2528B
The transducer element is that portion
of a sounder system that converts the elec-
tricalpulse from the sounder into a sound
wave which is transmitted downward to
the bottom and returned as an echo. This
TRANSDUCER
echo is picked up by the transducer and
sent to the sounder which, through time
comparison, converts the difference for
display on your
V8010.
ENERGY WAVE
The transducer, the heart of the Fishfin-
der, is a delicate instrument and although
it is designed to survive in the toughest
marine environment it should not be
dropped or manhandled during installation.
The transducer element assemblies are constructed into either molded
resin or bronze caste housings and covered with an epoxy window surface.
The epoxy “window” is the surface through which ultrasonic pulses must
travel. This epoxy surface must be kept as clean and smooth as possible so
the ultrasonic energy path is uninterrupted. Caution is advised when han-
dling the transducer to prevent any damage to the transducer face.
Also, when handling the transducer, avoid lifting or pulling on the
transducer by the cable. Although the cable appears thick and substantial,
the internal cable wiring could become damaged due to stress by the sheer
weight
ofthe
transducerunit and malfunctionat the most inopportune time.
252 General Mounting Considerations
In any transducer installation acoustic noise is always present. The noise
is usually a combination of “ambient” as well as “vessel generated” levels.
Ambient noise is often generated by waves and air bubbles, fish and mam-
mals, ram and hail on the surface, other nearby vessels or shore noises.
Sources of vessel generated noise include: propellers
&
propeller shaft
vibrations, machinery, main engines, generators & pumps, flow of water
INSTALLATION 21
Page 30
across the hull, boundary layer turbulence, and interference from other
onboard echo sounders.
While very little can be done to combat ambient noise, carefully selecting
the transducer mounting location can help to minimize the influence of the
“vessel generated” noise. Of course, the lower the acoustic noise level; the
better the signal-to-noise ratio and the higher the echo sounder gain setting
that can be used.
Mounting Location-Displacement Hulls
Study the shape of the vessel hull carefully to determine the best
transducer mounting location. To achieve optimal echo sounder system
operation, the transducer should be mounted in a spot which will minimize
acoustic noise reception and the chance that aerated water will flow across
the transducer’s acoustic window (transmitting surface).
One of the main sources of vessel generated noise is from the propeller.
It is very important to pick a mounting position to keep the transducer
clearly away from this noise source to minimize pickup.
As an additional precaution tilt
the transducer forward slightly so
that the transducer acoustic win-
dow is facing away from propeller
noise.
Generally
a
5’ forward tilt is
recommended. Any tilting is normally accomplished in the shaping
of the fairing block.
Mount the transducer on the side
of the hull where the propeller
blades are moving downwards.
The upward motion of the propeller generates pressure waves
which pushes air bubbles up
against the hull. By mounting the
transducer on the downward side,
the hull will tend to protect the
transducer from this effect.
INSTALLATION 22
Page 31
Aerated water can blind an echo sounder by reflecting the ultrasonic
energy. Water near the bow and water near the keel can become quite
aerated. Aeration occurring near the transducer can be minimized by
keeping the transducer mounted away from the keel, and by mounting the
transducer in the after
and water line, if possible.
2/3
of the vessel’s length midway between the keel
Generally, this provides the best compromise
between obtaining aeration-free water and minimizing propeller noise.
Keep in mind that the deeper the transducer protrudes into the water, the
less chance of aeration.
NOTE:
The transducer should not be mounted near any water discharge fittings.
Never position a transducer behind any struts or fittings that may cause
turbulence.

2532 Preparation 2 - The Fairlng Block
Nearly all vessels have some
location. If the transducer were mounted directly to the hull, the sound
beam will be tilted off from the vertical at the same angle as the deadrise.
A fairing block (usually constructed of wood such as mahogany or teak)
providing a level mounting
surface is strongly recommended. A Resin Fairing

for use with the
transducer is available from
your Raytheon dealer for

To
reduce drag, best results are obtained with sharp vertical leading edge
fairings because their wedge shape helps to divert aerated water off to the
sides of the transducer and not over the acoustic window.

symmetrical and either end of the transducer could be positioned forward.
253.4 lkansducer Installation
The order of assembly for the transducer is to first mount the
stuffing
tube
into the hull. Follow by mounting the fairing block and backing blocks to
the hull with the two stainless steel rods provided. Finally the transducer
gets bolted onto the hull. Each step is
detailed in the following paragraphs.

the threads of the stuffing tube to where the flanged nut will be, inside the
hull. This will seal and hold the flanged nut securely in place inside the hull
Push the stem of the stuffing tube through the hull and fasten the bronze
flanged nut from inside the hull. For a fiberglass hull, tighten this nut
securely.
NOTE:
If the hull is wood and has been out of the water for a prolonged period,
it is suggested that the stuffing tube nut be hand tightened only, since wood
will swell after the boat is in the water and exert considerable pressure on
the stuffing tube hardware. After the hull has expanded, the nut should be
tightened securely.
2. Install the
Faking
Block:
Slide a backing block, washer, and a nut onto each of the threaded rods.
Feed the rods down through the hull.
Cut a piece of tarred felt (not provided) as a gasket to fit between the hull
and the fairing block (see the figure below). Cut a hole in the center of the
felt for the cable to pass through.
Following the caulking manufacturer’s directions, apply 3 mm
(l/S”)
thick layer of caulking to the surface of the fairing block that fits against
the hull. Lay the tarred felt on top of the coated fairing block.

From outside hull, slide fairing block up onto the threaded rods, and press
up against the hull. Verify that the length of the rods extending below the
flat face of fairing block is between 2.75” to 3” in length. If not, adjust by
tightening the nuts on the rods inside the hull to obtain this length.
Secure the fairing block to hull using a stainless steel washer and nut on
each rod as shown in the figure. Tighten the nuts with a torque wrench using

5. Mount the transducer.
While holding the transducer in position against the fairing block, slide a
rubber washer and a stainless steel washer (provided) onto each transducer
mounting rod. Apply some caulking to the mounting rod and then secure
the transducer with nuts provided. Tighten the nuts with a torque wrench

WARNING:
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS
Do not expose the 2528L resin transducer to any solvents while cleaning
away excess sealants. Strong solvents such as acetone and methylene
chloride will attack many types of plastics and can dramatically reduce the
strength of those materials. Accumulation of grease or grime should be
removed with a soft damp cloth and
mild detergents.

7. Plug the bolt holes.
To minimize turbulence on the
sur-
face of the transducers, a white Styrofoam plug material is supplied which
fits into the transducer mounting holes. Cut the Styrofoam to length so that,
when installed, each plug is recessed 5 to 7 mm
(3/16”
to
5/16”)
below the
surface of the housing. Push these Styrofoam plugs into the holes and
smooth out the surface using caulking. Level out and remove any excess
caulking to ensure smooth water flow over the transducer.
8. Route the cable to the echo sounder.
Be
very
careful
not to tear the cable jacket when passing the cable through
bulkheads, etc. To reduce electrical interference, keep the transducer cable
separated from electrical wiring and other sources of electrical interference. To prevent damage, secure the transducer cable in place using tywraps
or lacing twine.
9. Attaching the plug.
The wires of the cable must now be soldered to the 5 pin transducer
connector, packaged with the echo sounder using the color code shown in
the drawing.

The cable can be cut to the necessary length or extended as required. If
extending the cable, use the same type of cable and conductors to complete
the installation properly.
10. Checking for Leaks
When the boat is placed in the water, immediately check around the bolts
that fasten the transducer to the hull and around the
stuffmg
tube for leaks.
Note that very small leaks may not be readily observable, so it is best not to
leave the boat in the water unattended for more than 3 to 24 hours before
checking it again. If there is a small leak, there may be considerably water
accumulation after 8 to 24 hours. If a leak is observed, the installation
bedding procedure should be repeated to seal the leak. It is not prudent to
installa
transducer and leave a boat in the water
unchecked
for severaldays.
2535 Inside the
Hull
Installations (Fiberglass Hulls Only)
Generally, inside-hull mounting can be useful on fiberglass hulls when the
top speed of the boat is at least 25 knots and drag becomes a factor. Inside
mounting creates less turbulence and the transducer performance can
improve at speeds above 20 knots. However, inside hull mounting frequently results in ultrasonic energy losses of up to 50% or more. So the
transducer must be located where hull is solid fiberglass resin to minimize
sound transmission losses.
Generally its better to test selected areas of the hull
the transducer by
placing
the transducer face against the hull and operating
first
before installing
the echo sounder while checking for satisfactory echo returns. A coupling
medium, such as water, or gel, (Vaseline), should be used to transfer the
sonic energy to the hull more efficiently during the testing. Consult with the
boat dealer or vessel manufacturer if your not sure of the hull construction
or best locations.
Once a satisfactory location is found, always mount the transducer into a
liquid-filled box. Never bond the
25281,
resin housing directly to the hull.

TYPICAL STEEL HULL MOUNT WITH CONDUIT
Note:
Certain approval authorities require that the transducer cable be encased
in conduit. In such installations, the conduit is welded to the stuffing tube,
as shown in the figure above. In welded conduit installations, the stuffing
tube must have the packing nut tightened from outside the hull. The
stuffing tube supplied by Raytheon is “reversible”, allowing the compression bushing to be tightened from inside or outside of the hull.
Once the location for the transducer has been determined, it will be again
necessary to assure the transducer is angled to face the sea bottom directly.
On steel hulled
vesselsa
steel weldment must be fabricated
bythe
shipyard
or procured by the person installing the transducer. The exact dimensions
of the weldment are not specified, but the bottom of the weldment must be
parallel to the water surface, (slightly angled forward about
5’)
and must
be large enough to allow the mounting of the adapter plate.
The weldment should also have an access hole at least as large as the hole
in the adapter plate to allow feeding of the transducer cable up to and
through the stuffing tube. Any sharp edges on the weldment and any weld
spots should be ground smooth to minimize the chance of tearing or
abrading the transducer cable. The adapter plate can either be welded
directly to the weldment or bolted to the weldment at the four places drilled
in the adapter plate. The dimensions of the vertical sides of the weldment
will be determined by the
deadrise
of the hull at the location where the

Styrofoam plugs into the holes and smooth out the surface using caulking.
Remove excess caulking to ensure smooth water flow over the transducer.
3 Finishing Details
Slide the rubber compression bushing, compression washers, and the
packing nut down the transducer cable to the stuffing tube (see the figure
above for orientation). Make sure the rubber compression

Route the transducer cable to the echo sounder, being careful not to tear
the outer jacket when routing the cable. To reduce electrical interference,
keep the transducer cable separated from other electrical wiring. Secure
the transducer cable in place. To prevent damage, use tywraps or lacing
twine. Refer to page 29 for making the wire connections to the plug.

3. Apply a
l/8”
( mm) thick
layer of sealant on the surfacesof
the transducer and fairing block
(if used) which mate with each
other and to the hull, and bronze
housing (see the figure). A thin
layer should also be applied up
the sidewalls of the stem to a
height of
1/4”(
mm) greater than
the hull plus fairing block thick-
ness. This will ensure there is
sealant material in the threads to
seal them and hold the housing nut securely in place.
4. From the outside of the hull, push the housing (with sealant applied)
into the drilled hole. Apply a twisting motion to the housing to squeeze out
excess sealants while taking care to align the transducer
assembly
parallel
to the keel. Verify the transducer and fairing block are seated to the hull
and the transducer is also pointing straight down to the sea bottom.
5. Slip the backing block onto the transducer stem and coat the surface
contacting the hull interior with the caulking compound. Tighten the hex
nut with a wrench or large slip-joint pliers. (Allow for swelling on wooden
hulls.)
6. From the outside, remove excess sealant to assure smooth water flow
over and around the transducer.
7. Route the cable to the echo sounder, being very careful not to tear the
cable jacket when passing the cable through bulkheads, etc. To reduce
electrical interference, keep the transducer cable separated from ignition,

33.13 Saving Events
While using the Fishfinding display screens there may be numerous occa-
sions to mark a spot holding fish, the location of a wreck, or other interesting
bottom structure so you can later on return back to the same location. If
your
V8010
is connected to the optional GPS sensor or to your loran, you
can save these events in the fishtinder’s own memories.
The

appears at the top of the scale. The maximum depth of the range scale
appears at the bottom end of the scale.
IMPORTANTNOTE
If you are using manual range selections and the bottom echo is not
displayed on the screen, the digital depth indicator cannot operate, and will
just show dashed lines. When the sea bottom echo reappears on the display
screen, the digital readout resumes normal indication.
33.15.1 Auto Range Operation

Auto Range operation may become unreliable due to conditions of turbulence and may switch frequently in abnormally steep bottom contours.
Manual range operation is always recommended for best fish finding and
more stable performance whenever these conditions are encountered.
Whenever the echo sounder is turned OFF, the ‘last used” range scale is

Auto Shift and Auto Range cannot operate at the same time.
33.1.7 Setting the Gain
Knowing how to set the Gain level of the fishfinder
for the best pickup of fish echoes can make a big
difference on whether the fishing trip is successful or
not. In general the Gain sensitivity level is usually set
to produce a display screen with some noise in the
background. Then the Gain level is reduced to the
point just producing slight noise pickup in the back-
ground. At this setting point the unit is in its most
sensitive condition. The Gain (sensitivity) for each
frequency is controlled by a variable control which
can be optimized for the most sensitive detection level.
EVEL
Rotate the GAIN control marked
‘A”clockwise
to increase the Gain level
and counter-clockwise to reduce the Gain level for the 200Khz frequency.
Rotate the GAIN control marked
“B”clockwise
to increase the Gain level
and counter-clockwise to reduce the Gain sensitivity level for the 50 or
28Khz frequency.

determine and automatically change the sensitivity
level to maintain bottom echo tracking strength. To

Controlling the Chart Speed
Ocassionally the marks from individual fish may print
as small dots or slash marks on the screen and be more
difficult to see. This effect may be attributed to several factors, but by increasing the chart speed, those
echoes can become more prominently displayed on
the screen. The chart speed can be varied in 10 different steps. The speeds range from 1 (slowest) to 9

The distance value to input for the anchor alarm zone depends on many
factors, such as the amount of anchor line out and the anchor depth, the
proximity of other objects or vessels, and weather conditions. However, the
incremental distance that can be input is units of 0.01 nautical miles which

BOUNDARY
Alarm
This is a very special type of alarm and is useful when there is an area that
you need to avoid. A typical use would be to mark an area bounded by
shoals or rocks. The BOUNDARY alarm distance then becomes the safety
margin that you want to maintain from the hazardous area.
The

alarm feature can be

the waypoint’s position as a bearing and distance from your own current
position. This is easily accomplished with your
V8010.
However, while describing a range or distance from your vessel should not
be a problem, it is important to make sure your ‘bearing” information is in
“magnetic” when input into the echosounder 11 IF”’ the “Auto” magnetic
variation is “ON”.
If you are taking a bearing from your radar display, that bearing will
normally be “relative” (defines an angle from your ship’s bow)
To determine the magnetic bearing, just
add the radar’s relative bearing to your
magnetic ship compass heading. The re-
