2. SLANT MODE Display Range The RANGE knob selects the de- Surface tection range and six ranges are Range displayed on display preset at the factory. The unit for range is set to meters Bottom (m) as factory default. Range No. Detection range (m) Note: Ranges can be preset at [5 Scan Range] (located at [5 Record/Recall/Register] [7 Register]).
2. SLANT MODE Tilt Angle The tilt angle shows the direction to which the sound wave is emitted. When the sound wave is emitted horizontally, the tilt angle is said to be 0° and when vertically, 90°. The tilt angle can be set between -5° (upward) to 90° (downward), in increments of 1°. 2.4.1 How to set the tilt angle To manually set a tilt angle, operate the TILT control.
2. SLANT MODE 2.4.2 Automatic tilt The AUTO TILT key automatically scans the tilt angle within the selected width. This is useful when you want to find the center depth of a school of fish. You can set the range for automatic tilt at [1 Auto Tilt Range] (located at [9 Installation Setting] Operation Setting] [6 Sweep/Tilt Settings]).
2. SLANT MODE 2.4.3 Relation between bottom echo and tilt angle The figure below illustrates how two schools of fish "a" and "b" are displayed on the screen using three different tilt angles. Case 1: Tilt angle 30° to 40°: This tilt angle will display the entire bottom since it is captured by the full width of the beam.
2. SLANT MODE 2.4.4 Tilt angle for surface fish Sound emitted from the sonar transducer forms an Sea Surface oval-shaped beam with a width of approximately 10° for 80kHz and 13° for 70kHz in the vertical di- Tilt Angle 0° rection (vertical beam width at -6dB).
2. SLANT MODE Sweep Angle The sweep angle is the center of the area (range) through which the sonar beam prop- agates sound waves. In Slant Mode, you can align the beam with the bow of your ves- sel when the sweep angle is set to 0°. Sweep angle can be adjusted either manually or automatically.
2. SLANT MODE 2.5.2 Auto sweep function The auto sweep function provides automatic training of the sonar beam in left and right directions to enable search over a wide area. The auto sweep range (width) can be set from [2 Auto Sweep Range] (located at main menu [9 Installation Setting] Operation Setting] [6 Sweep/Tilt Settings];...
2. SLANT MODE How to Measure Range and Bearing to a Target You can measure the range and bearing to a fish school, or other echo. 1. Operate the trackball to place the cursor on the target to which you want to mea- sure the range and bearing.
2. SLANT MODE How to Eliminate Weak Echoes Echoes from targets such as bottom and fish return to the transducer in order of dis- tance to them, and when we compare their intensities at the transducer face, those from nearer targets are generally stronger due to little propagation attenuation and lit- tle absorption.
2. SLANT MODE 2.7.2 How to set near and far gain You can set a different gain level for nearby echoes and far echoes with Near Gain and Far Gain functions. 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [2 Gain Setting], then left-click. 3.
2. SLANT MODE How to Adjust Strong and Weak Echoes 2.8.1 How to set AGC (Near, Far and Distance) The AGC functions to automatically reduce the receiver gain only against strong echoes such as a large school of fish. Since weak echoes remain unaffected, a small school of fish becomes easier to detect.
2. SLANT MODE 2.8.2 Seabed AGC While it is ideal to suppress seabed (bottom) echoes with the AGC alone there are some fishing grounds where this is not possible. To suppress bottom echoes, use the Seabed AGC feature. 1. Open the menu. 2.
2. SLANT MODE 2.8.4 Noise suppression Removing or suppressing noise from weak echoes such as surface reflections, plank- ton and distant seabeds can help you clear the display. The noise suppression func- tion adjusts the gain level for weak echoes only, leaving echoes schools of fish unadjusted.
2. SLANT MODE How to Suppress Bottom and Sea Surface Re- flections in Shallow Waters In shallow fishing grounds with hard or rocky bottom, bottom reflections often interfere with wanted fish echoes and they can not be eliminated sufficiently with the aforemen- tioned TVG and AGC functions, especially when the TILT is set to a larger angle in order to track schools of fish approaching within 400 m.
2. SLANT MODE 2.10 How to Reject Sonar Interference and Noise While observing the sonar picture, you may encounter occasional or intermittent noise and interference. These are mostly caused by on-board electronic equipment, engine or propeller noise, or electrical noise from other sonars being operated nearby. 2.10.1 How to identify the noise source To eliminate noise effectively, you should first identify the noise source as follows:...
2. SLANT MODE 2.10.3 Interference rejector This control is similar to the interference rejector on echo sounders and radars. It is effective for rejecting random noise and sea surface reflections in rough sea condi- tions. Set it so that noise is just eliminated. Do not use an unnecessarily high setting since it may also reject small, wanted echoes.
2. SLANT MODE 2.10.5 How to adjust the RX bandwidth (Auto Filter) You can adjust the inbound (RX) bandwidth automatically or manually. When this function is enabled, the Auto Filter function automatically adjusts the inbound band- width to display echoes stably, even at high speeds (up to 18 knots). The Auto Filter also compensates for propeller noise and interference from other vessels.
2. SLANT MODE 2.10.7 Reverberation You can choose the length of reverberation for the echo signal, with [4 Reverberation] (located at main menu [1 TX/RX Setting]. Adjusting the reverberation can compen- sate for echoes from plankton, surface reflections and seabed echoes. The settings available are [0] or [1].
The default setting is tracking of school of fish. Speed and bearing data are required. The FSV-75 cannot track a school of fish if the level of the echo is too weak. This function requires appropriate data input. For details, see "DATA INPUT REQUIREMENTS"...
2. SLANT MODE 2.12.2 Fish mode The automatic echo target lock function automatically tracks the operator-selected school of fish. When [2 Tilt Interlock] (located in the [8 Target Lock] menu (see previ- ous page) is set to [Tilt & Range], and the tracked school of fish goes out of the zone in the range direction, the range and tilt are automatically controlled according to the position of the school of fish.
2. SLANT MODE 2.12.4 Target lock menu description Target lock functions not previously mentioned are described below. Page 1 [2 Tilt Interlock] Provides automatic change of tilt angle and range or tilt angle in target lock. Setting range: [OFF] (no automatic change), [Tilt ] (tilt angle), [Tilt &...
2. SLANT MODE 2.13 Presentation Mode 2.13.1 Presentation mode description This sonar has four presentation modes, head-up, north-up, course-up and true mo- tion. Presentation modes require appropriate data input. For details, see "DATA INPUT REQUIREMENTS" on page AP-11. Head-up North-up Course-up Head-up: The display is oriented toward ship’s heading.
2. SLANT MODE 2.14 How to Detect Schools of Fish Aurally Sometimes you may be preoccupied with other tasks and unable to concentrate on watching the sonar picture. In such cases it would be a good choice to use the audio function.
2. SLANT MODE When the audio is deactivated When the audio feature is deactivated, the audio bearing marker is replaced with the bearing marker, regardless of whether the bearing marker was previously displayed. Further, the auto sweep marker is no longer displayed. 2.14.2 How to select the audio sector Select the audio sector as follows.
2. SLANT MODE 2.15 Fish Alarm The fish alarm sounds the buzzer when a fish echo above a preset strength enters the operator-set alarm zone. 2.15.1 How to activate/deactivate the fish alarm 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [0 Mark & Operation Support Tool], then left-click. 3.
2. SLANT MODE 2.15.2 Alarm Level The alarm level sets the minimum echo strength at which the fish alarm is activated. The echo strength is displayed in color, as shown on-screen. 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [0 Mark & Operation Support Tool], then left-click. 3.
2. SLANT MODE 2.17 How to Compare Concentration of School of Fish 2.17.1 How to compare with the fish estimate mark You can use the two ESTIMATE keys to get an estimate of the volume of two schools of fish: This function requires appropriate data input.
2. SLANT MODE Fish histogram The fish histogram shows, in graph form, signal strength distribution for the school(s) of fish marked with an estimate mark on the horizontal displays. The histogram display for each of those displays will be different since the calculation method is different. This data appears only when an estimate mark is active.
2. SLANT MODE 2.18 How to Measure the Speed of a School of Fish To ensure a good haul, it is important to estimate the direction and speed of the school of fish before shooting the net. You can do this with the FISH keys. With tidal current data plus fish speed data, you can determine the timing of the net shooting more effi- ciently.
2. SLANT MODE [FISH1] key pressed once twice three times four times Previous Latest mark mark [FISH2] key pressed once twice three times four times Previous Latest mark mark 2.18.2 How to delete fish marks Fish marks can be deleted individually with the DELETE MARK key or from the menu. With the DELETE MARK key 1.
2. SLANT MODE 2.19 Event Mark, Own Ship Position Mark The event mark is useful for finding the horizontal range, depth and bearing to a loca- tion some distance from current position. There are two types of the event marks: event mark 1 ( ) and event mark 2 ( ).
2. SLANT MODE 2.19.2 How to enter an own ship position mark Place the cursor close to the center of the own ship mark (transducer position) and press the EVENT key. Up to ten own ship position marks ( ) may be inscribed. When the capacity for own ship position marks is reached the earliest own ship position mark is automatically erased.
2. SLANT MODE 2.20 Select Mark Window You can use the [Select Mark] window to enter event, fish, estimate and target lock marks. You can also use the window to switch back to the normal cursor. This function requires appropriate data input. For details, see "DATA INPUT REQUIREMENTS"...
2. SLANT MODE 2.22 Net Data With net sonde connection you can observe net data after the throwing of the net. This requires the net and sonde details to be set correctly at [7 Net Sonde Setting]. See section 6.2.8 for detailed instructions. This function requires appropriate data input.
2. SLANT MODE 2.23 Menu Items Descriptions This section presents menu items which have been not mentioned previously. 2.23.1 Display Setting menu [2 Signal Level]: Contaminated water or reflections from plankton may be painted on the screen in green or light-blue.

[S-Scan Color Curve Setting]: Adjusts reflected echo strength versus echo color lev- el for currently selected color response number.
2. SLANT MODE 2.24 How to Interpret the Slant Display 2.24.1 Bottom echoes When the tilt angle is set at 90 degrees with the sector center faced dead ahead, the pictures illustrated below will appear on the screen. The bottom echo is represented on the screen as a thick line which realistically shows the bottom contour.
2. SLANT MODE 2.24.2 School of fish A school of fish appears as a mass of echoes on the screen. The color of the mass shows the density of the fishes and the size of the mass how they are distributed. In the following figures, the same school of fish is observed with two different tilt angles.
2. SLANT MODE 2.24.3 False echoes Sea surface reflections In the half-circle display, sea surface reflections appear as a thick line extending across the own ship mark regardless of tilt angle. When the sonar is used with a nar- row tilt angle, the sea surface reflections cover an extended area as illustrated below. Sea surface reflections Wake...
Page 71
2. SLANT MODE False echo by sidelobe An ultrasonic wave is emitted only in the direction set by the TILT control, however there are some emissions outside the main beam. These are called sidelobes. The en- ergy of the sidelobe is fairly weak but when the water is comparatively shallow and the bottom is rocky and hard, strong signals are detected by the sidelobe.
