7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER)7-177.14 Sounder Menu This section describes the fish finder functions not described in previous sections. Open the home screen, then tap [Settings] - [Sounder].[Day Background Color]: Select the background color for use during daylight hours. The options are [White], [Light Blue], [Black] and [Dark Blue].[Night Background Color]: Select the background color for use at nighttime. The op-tions are [Black] and [Dark Blue].[Echo Color Levels]: Select the number of colors shown on the screen. The selec-tions are [8 Colors], [16 Colors] and [64 Colors].[Zoom Reference Lines]: Show or hide the zoom marker, which appears in the bot-tom lock and bottom zoom modes.[High Resolution]: When you select [OFF], smoothed echoes are displayed, howev-er, the screen resolution is lower. To get higher screen resolution and greater detail, select [ON].[Bottom Range Shift Area]: Select the area where to show the bottom echo, when [Auto Range] is active. For example, setting 75% would place the bottom echo at a position equivalent to 75% from the top of the screen.ACCU-FISH InfoACCU-FISH SymbolsACCU-FISH Size Correction

7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER)7-18[Heaving Correction]: When the ship is in rough seas, the bottom echo and the echoes from fish are not stable, because the distance to the bottom changes. To re-move this problem, the satellite compass sends pitch and roll data to the fish finder to adjust the TX and RX beams. This function requires a FURUNO Satellite Compass. Not applicable to the internal sounder.[Transmit Rate Auto]: Automatically set the transmit rate according to ship’s speed, and is inoperative when there is no speed data.[Transmit Rate Manual]: Change the TX pulse repetition rate in 21 levels (21 is high-est power.). Use 20 in normal use. Lower the TX rate in shallow waters to prevent the second reflection echo.[Sounder Transmit]: Turn on or off the sounder transmission.Sounder initial setup[Zero Line Rejection]: Turn the zero line (transmission line) on or off. When turned on, the transmission line disappears, which allows you to better watch fish echoes near the surface. The length of the transmission line changes with transducer used and installation characteristics.[Transducer Draft]: Set the distance between the transducer and the draft line to show the distance from the sea surface (Setting range: 0.0 to 99.9 ft).[Salt Water]: Select [ON] to use this equipment in salt water.[Fish Finder Source]: Select the sounder used, among DFF1, BBDS1, DFF3, FCV-1150 or DFF1-UHD.

7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER)7-19[Transducer Setup]: Select the method to setup the transducer, manually or by se-lecting the model number. [Manual]: Enter high/low frequencies and TX power. [Model Number]: Select the type of the transducer connected.[Transmission Power]: Interference can appear on the screen when the fish finder on your ship and another ship have the same TX frequency. To prevent this interfer-ence, lower your TX power and ask the other ship to lower their TX power. (Internal sounder and external sounder other than DFF1-UHD)[External KP]: Turn on to sync with external keying pulse. (For external sounder)[Bottom Level HF (LF)]: The default bottom level setting (0) determines that two strong echoes received in sequence are bottom echoes. If the depth indication is not stable in the default setting, adjust the bottom level here. (For Internal, external sound-er.)[Gain Offset HF (LF)]: If the gain setting is wrong, or there is a difference in the gain between the low and high frequencies, you can balance the gain for the two frequen-cies here. (For internal, external sounder)[Auto Gain Offset HF (LF)]: If the auto gain offset is wrong, or there is a difference in the gain between the low and high frequencies, set an offset here to balance auto gain for the two frequencies. (For internal, external sounder)[STC HF (LF)]: Delete unnecessary echoes (plankton, air bubbles, etc.) near the sur-face that hide the fish near the surface. The setting range is 0 to 10, and 0 is off. 10 deletes unnecessary echoes from the surface to approximately 16 ft. Make sure you do not use more STC than necessary, because you can erase the small echoes near the surface. (For DFF3, DFF1-UHD)[Frequency Adjust HF (LF)]: You can adjust the TX frequency of both the low- and high-frequency transducers. Use this feature when your fish finder and another fish finder operate on the same frequency, causing interference. Change the frequency of your transducer by enough percentage points to remove the interference. (For DFF3)[TX Pulse HF (LF)]: The pulse length is automatically set according to range and shift.Use a short pulse for better resolution and a long pulse when detection range is important. To improve resolution on zoom displays, use [Short 1] or [Short 2]. [Short 1) improves the detection resolution, but the detection range is shorter than with [Std] (pulse length is 1/4 of [Std]). [Short 2] raises the detection resolution, however detec-tion range is shorter (pulse length is about 1/2 of [Std]) than [Std]. [Std] is the standard pulse length, and is suitable for general use. [Long] increases the detection range but lowers the resolution (about 1/2 compared to the [Std] pulse length). (For DFF3)[Rx Band HF (LF)]: The RX bandwidth is automatically set according to pulse length.To decrease noise, select [Narrow]. For better resolution, select [Wide]. (For DFF3)[Temperature Port]: Select the data source for water temperature. (For DFF3, DFF1-UHD)[MJ]: The water temperature data from the water temperature/speed sensor[Low Frequency]: The low frequency measured water temperature[High Frequency]: The high frequency measured water temperature

(External sounder only)[Reset Default Settings]: Select this menu item to restore default settings for the [Sounder] menu.7.15 Interpreting the DisplayZero lineThe zero line (transmission line) shows the position of the transducer. The line disap-pears from the screen when the range is shifted.Bottom echoesThe strongest echoes are from the bottom, and are normally shown in reddish-brown or red. The colors and the width change with bottom material, depth, sea condition, installation, frequency, pulse length and sensitivity.Zero lineRange shiftedSecond bottom echoDifference in sensitivityDifference in depth

7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER)7-21Bottom contourThe tail from a hard bottom is longer than the tail from a soft bottom, because the hard bottom reflects more of the ultrasonic pulse. An echo from shallow water gives a stron-ger reflection than the echo received from deep water. A longer bottom tail appears on slopes, because of the difference in travel time at both edges of the beam angle. For the rough bottom, echoes are reflected on many different planes, which displays echoes in many layers, giving a 3D effect.Nature of a bottomThe nature of a bottom is known from the intensity and length of the bottom tail. To find the nature of a bottom, use a long pulse length and normal gain. For the hard and rough bottom, the bottom echo is reddish-brown with a long tail. For the mud or sand bottom, the bottom echo has less red and with a short tail. A bottom with a lot of small particles can give a long tail on the low frequency picture.Fish volumeThe size and density of a school of fish are indicators of the quantity of fish.Soft bottom Hard bottom Rough bottomRock baseMud & sandLarge schoolLarge schoolSmall schoolSmall schoolSize of school of fish

7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER)7-22Size of a school of fishUsually the size of fish echoes on the screen is proportional to the actual size of the school of fish. However, if two fish echoes appear at different depths with the same size, the school of fish at the shallower depth is larger because the ultrasonic beam widens as it propagates and a school of fish in deep water is displayed larger.Density of a school of fishIf two schools appear with the same color at different depths, the one in deeper water is denser because the ultrasonic wave attenuates as it propagates and the school of fish in deep water tends to be displayed in a weaker color.Bottom fishThe echoes from the bottom are stronger than the bottom fish echoes so that you can distinguish be-tween them by colors. The bottom echoes are normally shown in reddish-brown or red, the bot-tom fish echoes in weaker color.Sounding time for a deep school of fishp school oe for a deepe for SgSounding timeSounding time for a shallow school of fishSounding time for a shallow school of fishSchool depth and sounding timeFish echoWeak echoLess reddish (Sparse echo)Reddish (Dense echo)ak echooStrong echoDifference in signal strengthBottom fish echo

7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER)7-23PlanktonA plankton layer appears as a large amount of green or blue dots, and is a possible location for fish. A plankton layer moves down in the day and up at night.Current ripWhen two ocean currents of different speeds di-rections and water temperatures meet, a current rip occurs. A current rip appears on the screen as shown in the right illustration.Surface noiseWhen the sea is rough or the ship moves over a wake, surface noise can appear at the top of the screen.Air bubbles in the waterWhen the sea is rough or the ship makes a quick turn, there can be blank spots in the bottom echo (see the right illustration). These blank spots are caused by air bubbles which stop the movement of the sound wave. These air bubbles can occur with the low frequency ultrasonic waves.Unstable bottom echoThe bottom echoes can have a saw-tooth appear-ance. This occurs in heavy weather because pitch-ing and rolling changes the direction of the ultrasonic pulses and the vertical motion of the ship causes the distance to the bottom to change.PlanktonSchool of fishCurrent ripSurface noiseUltrasonic wave blocked by air bubblesUnstable bottom echo

7. FISH FINDER (SOUNDER)7-24False echoWhen an ultrasonic pulse is transmitted, some energy leaves from each side of the beam. This energy has the name “sidelobe”. Echoes from sidelobes show on the screen as false images like in the illustration shown below.MainlobeMainlobeSidelobeSidelobe False image
