Page 6: How Sonar Works
Analysis of the reflected signal can also be used to determine location, size, or composition of underwater objects. Humminbird® products consist of two main components: the sonar unit and the transducer. The sonar unit contains the transmitter and receiver, as well as the user controls and LCD display. -
Page 7: 3D Sonar
3D Sonar Your Matrix® Fishing System uses a six-element transducer that transmits at 455 kHz and is capable of reaching depths of 240 ft (75 m). Each transmitted beam is 16 degrees in width and is symmetrical. The six beams are lined up next to each other to provide a total coverage of 53 degrees from side to side, and 16 degrees from front to back. -
Page 8: What's On The Display (3D View)
What’s On the Display (3D View) In 3D views, your Matrix® Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow. Temperature - water surface temperature. Bottom Contour - Shows the shape of the bottom derived from depth measurements on 6 beams. - Page 9 the area under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items: Battery Voltage - the voltage of the boat’s battery; can be set to alarm if the voltage falls below a certain point. connected to the Matrix® Fishing System.

Page 20: Bottom Presentation
Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, your Matrix® Fishing System charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. - Page 21 Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display. Structure ID® represents weak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark pixels.
