600 W RMS, ensures that the FISH 4500/4600 operates effectively in shallow and deep water. The FISH 4500/4600 can detect the bottom to a depth of 2000 feet (600 metres) depending on the clarity of the water, the ultrasonic frequency chosen and the type of transducer used. -
Page 5: How The Fish 4500/4600 Works
The depth of the object or bottom is calculated by the FISH 4500/4600 by measuring the time taken between sending a pulse and receiving the echo. When an echo has been returned, the next pulse is sent. -
