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
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

1.4 GPS GENERAL INFORMATION
V8010.
The Navstar/GPS system is a satellite-based radio navigation system de-
signed to provide global, continuous 24 hour-per-day all weather, accurate
position data for navigators worldwide.
KNTRODUCTION 5
The GPS (GlobalPositioning System) is based
on a GPS receiver’s ability to accurately measure the propagation time of signals transmitted
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

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

range calculations.

solution until the LOP’s intersect. Theoretically, this process can produce
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

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.

slightly for it to pass by the locking tabs.
4. Push the rubber grommet forward as far as
possible~to
seat it snugly

5.Push the backshell all the
way
forward. It must first compress the rubber
grommet, then be twisted over the (2) locking posts on the connector body.
This is a tight connection. For leverage, it may be helpful to first insert and
lock the connector into its mating plug on the

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
boa&a
good clean connection to the hullprovides
a sufficient ground. On a fiberglass or wood hull, connection to a ground
plate or to the engine block and other bonded groundwork should be
acceptable.

The transducer section of the manual begins with a general discussion of
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
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.
