Echosounder operation The echosounder function of the CEXX determines the distance between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or sea bed. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second.

    Chapter 4-10 CE34/44/54 Echo menu 4.8 How the echosounder works When the CEXX is turned on, a transmitter begins to send electrical pulses to the transducer. The ceramic resonators in the transducer has a special property which enables it to change dimensions slightly when a varying voltage is applied.

  • Page 61: Transducer Beamwidth

    CE34/44/54 Echo menu Chapter 4-11 4.9 Transducer beamwidth The transducer mounted to the hull of your vessel serves as both a ‘speaker’ when transmitting, and as a ‘microphone’ when the echosounder is receiving. Similar to the way a flashlight focuses light, most of the sound from your transducer is focused downwards with a smaller amount going out to the sides.

  • Page 62: Effects Of The Vessel's Speed

    Chapter 4-12 CE34/44/54 Echo menu 4.10 Effects of the vessel’s speed The presentation of fish on the CEXX depends directly on the ves- sel’s speed, as well as on the depth of the fish. When the vessel is at rest, the echo traces will appear stretched and flattened. As the vessel’s speed becomes greater, the echo traces will become shorter and more arched.
