  • Page 2: Thank You

    Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects. WARNING! The electronic chart in your Humminbird® unit is an aid to navigation designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners contain all of the current information needed for the safety of navigation, and the captain is responsible for their prudent use.

  • Page 13: 1100 Series™ Introduction

    Imaging® sonar, DualBeam PLUS™ sonar, Down Imaging® sonar, chartplotting, and an internal GPS receiver. How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 1100 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer.

  • Page 14: Universal Sonar

    When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret “graph” of the bottom, fish, and structure appears. The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution.

  • Page 34: Understanding The Sonar Display

    Understanding the Sonar Display It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time.

  • Page 35: Sonar Colors And Bottom View

    Sonar Colors and Bottom View Sonar Colors: Original Palette As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on HIGH the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The Intensity Return Sonar View displays the sonar return intensity with different colors.
  • Page 36 Structure ID™ represents weak returns in blue and strong returns in red when Sonar Colors is set to Original. If the Sonar Colors palette is changed, the Structure ID™ will display the strongest return as specified by the palette. See Sonar Menu Tab: Sonar Colors for more information.

  • Page 37: Switchfire

    SwitchFire® SwitchFire® controls how the sonar returns are displayed in the Sonar Views. SwitchFire® settings are available in the Sonar Menu Tab. To see the maximum sonar information available within the transducer beam so more fish arches and better jig tracking are shown, choose Max Mode. To see less clutter and more fish size accuracy interpreted from the transducer beam, choose Clear Mode.

Upward slopes that face the transducer reflect sonar recognizable features on the Side Imaging® display that allow for accurate interpretation of bottom Clouded Area - May indicate a bait ball and White Streaks may indicate fish.

  • Page 40: Understanding The Side Imaging® Display

    Understanding the Side Imaging® Display It is important to understand how Side Imaging® technology produces the display. The images you see on the display are produced using sonar technology. The special transducer projects three distinct beams – one beam facing down and two beams pointing out to the side. Down Beam is aimed directly below the boat and provides conical coverage.

  • Page 41: Side Imaging® Frequencies And Coverage

    The main benefit of Side Imaging® sonar to anglers is that it provides an overall survey of a large area of water. This gives you a better understanding of the bottom topography and how structure is oriented for more efficient fishing. Saltwater anglers pick up precise details of popular fishing structure like wrecks, reefs, humps and drop-offs, as well as being able to spot bait balls in open water.

  • Page 48: Understanding The Down Imaging® Display

    Understanding the Down Imaging® Display The images you see on the Down Imaging® display are produced using sonar technology. Each time the unit pings, a strip of data representing all the echoes received by the transducer are put together on the display to form the image that you see.

  • Page 49: Down Imaging® Sensitivity

    Down Imaging® Sensitivity Use Down Sensitivity to control how the sonar returns appear on the display. Increase the sensitivity to reveal weaker returns that may be of interest, especially in very clear water or greater depths. Decrease the sensitivity to eliminate the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water.

Many Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting that allows the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate (also, see Troubleshooting).
  • Page 198 A very fast sonar update rate collects more information and provides a more detailed image of the bottom, fish, and structure. Many Humminbird® units operate at up to 40 times per second when in single frequency operation. Due to the limitation of the speed of sound in water, the update rate begins to slow as depth increases to deeper than 50 feet.
  • Page 199 (i.e. two fish hanging very close, or a fish hanging very close to structure). Humminbird® fishfinders provide a very good 2 1/2 inches of target separation in shallower than 100 feet of depth. Target separation decreases as depth increases due to the need for longer Pulse Pulse Width Width to achieve greater depth.
  • Page 200 Acquisition Time The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster.
