The CPN Series Chart Plotters have a menu that allows adjustments to receiver sensitivity, depth range and scrolling speed of the Fish Finder display. - Page 9 Colored scale located on the left side of the screen that shows the colors used in the Fish Finder page to represent the echoes strength. The color on the top of the bar FF525 represents the maximum echo strength, while the color on the bottom of the bar represents the minimum echo strength.

(reading shallow, example 3Ft). Its default value is SHORT for the 200 kHz frequency and MID for the 50 KHz frequency. Such values are good in most conditions. However when navigating in very shallow waters CPN and FF525 Operation Manual Page 21... - Page 20 it may be necessary to switch it to OFF, while in very deep waters with a lot of Surface Clutter it may be better to increase it to MID or LONG. In some situations it may be necessary to adjust the STC so the sounder can read through the surface noise and show the bottom.

Auto Range to hook to the second or third echo from the bottom (since in shallow waters the sound bounces more times back and forth the CPN and FF525 Operation Manual Page 29... - Page 28 surface to the bottom). Try decreasing the STC value to SHORT in shallow waters or to switch it to VERY SHORT or OFF. Auto Range fails, and the digital depth readout displays a very shallow reading. What should I do? This usually happens if the STC is off or is set to a low value causing disturbance from Surface Clutter to be stronger than bottom echoes.
- Page 29 The CPN Series Chart Plotter shows no data when viewing the Fish Finder page This may be due to the FF525 having an issue. To confirm, listen to the depth transducer for the transmit pulse. If the pulse is not heard the FF525 is defective.
