HOW THIS USER MANUAL IS ORGANIZED CHAPTER 1: Overview ♦ Introduction to the basic information on the Fish Finder, its features and use. CHAPTER 2: Fish Finder ♦ Helps you understand how the chart plotter is connected to the Fish Finder and how to operate to improve your fishing. -
Page 7: Overview
Overview The Fish Finder consists of a high power transmitter, sensitive receiver and a transducer. The Fish Finder sends an electrical pulse to the transducer which contains an element that converts the pulse into acoustic (sound) wave which is sent through the water. As this wave travels from the transducer to the bottom, it may strike fish, structures, thermoclines (temperature changes in the water). -

cone strikes the fish, causing a display pixel to be turned on. As the boat passes over the fish, the distance to the fish decreases turning each pixel on at a shallower depth on the display. When the boat is directly over the fish, the first half of the arch is formed and since the fish is closer to the boat, the signal is stronger and the arch is thicker. -

Page 27: Power Supply Wiring Diagram
POWER SUPPLY WIRING DIAGRAM We recommended the installation of a switch and a (5A) fuse in the positive DC supply to the FISH PRO HD . The FISH PRO HD is active sending the digital depth through the NMEA interface even when the power (chart plotter) is turned off, thus the need for a switch. -
Page 28: Suggested Plotter Connections
SUGGESTED PLOTTER CONNECTIONS The following are suggested "Fish Finder - chart plotter" connections. NOTE On the chart plotter with software "S3" the Port 1 is optoisolated, so the Pin 4 - Green is the Input 1- and it is not the GND COMMON for the Port 2. The described connections are valid too. -
Page 29: Transducers
Transducers The transducer is a device that transmits and receives sound waves into the water. The active component inside the transducer is commonly referred to as an element but actually is a piezoelectric ceramic material. Please refer to installing instructions of the transducer manufacturer.

Yes, but note that the full auto mode suits the 90% of the cases, however in extreme situations the auto modes mail fail and thus it is necessary to switch to the Manual mode.
- Page 35 strong thermocline or surface clutter may be interpreted by the Fish Finder as the bottom. 6.11 At a very shallow range upper half of the screen appears almost completely filled by the surface clutter. How can I eliminate it? This is normal in shallow waters. To clean up the surface clutter without de- grading the digital depth readout algorithm functionality there are two modes: 1) if Surface Declutter = OFF, it is possible to set the STC value to custom...
