INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PART D: INTRODUCTION WESMAR has expanded the Options Menu. Each menu offers a variety of alterations that can be made to change or modify sonar operation. These options were designed to let you tailor your SS590 specifically to your needs. -
Page 45: Menu 1: Main Options
Below is a description of the options available to you in Menu 1. 1.0 RETURN TO SONAR/SOUNDER When you place your arrow beside "Return to Sonar/Sounder" and press the RANGE RING Switch, you will return to the sonar or sounder display. WESMAR III-7 Page... - Page 46 To select or release a new range, position the arrow beside it and press the RANGE RING Switch up or down. That range will become red or white. New range selections are automatically saved by the software when you exit the menu. WESMAR Page III-8...
- Page 47 A longer pulsewidth provides greater range. The computer inside the sonar automatically changes the transmit pulsewidth, lengthening it to match longer ranges, and shortening it for close ranges. WESMAR III-9 Page...
- Page 48 This increase sensitivity automatically graduated by the gain circuitry. However, this graduation (slope) stops increasing at some time. The point at which the slope stops can be selected in Menu 1. Page III-10 WESMAR...
- Page 49 Example: Selecting 400 milliseconds allows the sensitivity to increase up to a range of 300m (1000 ft). WESMAR recommends you stay with the preprogrammed settings. However, experiment with the TVG settings if you are involved in difficult fisheries or conditions.

However, WESMAR does recommend adjusting sonar after installation. There three adjustments (transmitter, pre-amp, and receiver) that can ensure maximum performance. Before proceeding with the following adjustments set NOISE FILTER to "No".
- Page 53 Since steps 2 and 3 will affect the trans- mitter adjustment, Steps 1 through 3 should be repeated again at least once for best performance. 4.0 TVG OFFSET 4.1 Set both NEAR and FAR gain to minimum NG 0 and FG 0. Page IV-3 WESMAR...
