Description
Hyper Ping is a setting only available on Traditional internal
and Legacy sonar modules, for use in shallow waters (depth
range set to 6 meters (20 feet) or less. In depths of over 6
meters (20 feet) the ping rate will revert to normal until depth
conditions are met.
When set to Hyper the display will provide an accurate,
undistorted image of the bottom at speeds of up to 40 kts.
Provides a speed limiter; it is useful to adjust the ping rate
limit to suit local conditions. For example, the ping rate may
be too fast when there is a hard bottom in shallow water.
Note: Ping rate limit is disabled if Ping Rate is set to
Hyper.
The sonar ping can be disabled. This is useful when other
equipment is being tested, or if someone is diving beneath
the boat. This setting reverts to Enabled when the sonar
module is powered off.
Enables non-CHIRP channel frequencies to be manually
tuned.
Removes spikes caused by other fishfinder-equipped
vessels.
Note: Interference rejection is be disabled if Ring Rate
is set to Hyper.
Adjusts the ping rate in small increments, according to the
2nd echo level. This results in better sensitivity of the image.
Note: 2nd Echo IR is be disabled if Ring Rate is set to
Hyper.
