    INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Section II SONAR OPERATION WESMAR is famous for designing sonars that are easy to operate. The HD800 Series follows this tradition by having a minimum of controls. In addition, the HD800 series is the world's most advanced sonar. The technician or operator can customize the sonar to suit water conditions and fi...

    The Noise Filter will reduce interference from any other sonar/sounder equipment on board and from other boats in the area. The Noise Filter operates by eliminating targets that are not present in two consecutive transmits at the same range. WESMAR Page 25...
  • Page 26 HD800 The Noise Filter is very effective. However, when scan- ning for individual targets, WESMAR recommends a selection of NONE. Noise Filter can be activated for Sonar A only, Profi le B only, or BOTH. 1.4 TARGET FILTER Target Filter is used to fi lter out unwanted returns and reduce clutter from the screen.
  • Page 27 Select YES on short range, so the transmit sound will not mask the sound of the targets. 1.12 SYNC If you have two WESMAR sonars on board, both HD800’s or one HD800 and one HD600E, with Sync software the two can be synchronized together.
