    TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION DANGER Any works on the vessel are very unstable and risky. Installation/maintenance of transducer should be handled after landing the vessel on ground or fixing the vessel at shipyard etc. If not, it may cause serious injuries. WARNING Be sure to ventilate well inside the vessel when installing the transducer at the bottom of vessel.

  • Page 127: Theory Of Echo Sounder

    THEORY OF ECHO SOUNDER 1 Theory of Echo Sounder Theory of echo sounder is same as echo among hills. Ultrasonic wave transmitted from the transducer directly beneath the vessel is reflected at the sea bottom and received by transducer. Echo sounder indicates the depth by calculating the round-trip time to distance. Also, the unit shows the color image of fish school size/density or sea floor condition according to the strength of reflected wave.
  • Page 128 2 Distinguish of Fish School Important tip is comparison between fish school image and actual fish. Possible to judge the fish type to some extent from the image of fish school. The shape of fish school changes even for same fish group by time (day/night, season, current change).
