Configuring Transducer Settings; Ping Depth Limit - Raymarine LIGHTHOUSE 3 Advanced Operation Instructions

Configuring Transducer settings

For systems set up with Sonar, you should configure your transducer settings.
1. Select Transducer from the Fishfinder app's Settings menu: Menu > Settings > Transducer
2. Select how you want your depth to appear:
i. Below transducer (default) — No offset required
ii. Below keel — Enter the distance between the transducer face and the bottom of the Keel.
iii. Below waterline —Enter the distance between the bottom of your Keel and the waterline.
3. If your transducer includes a temperature sensor then you can also configure temperature
settings as follows:
i. Enable or disable temperature readings as required.
ii. If enabled, check the temperature reading against the actual water temperature.
iii. If the current reading requires adjustment, select Calibrate temp and enter the difference
between your 2 readings.

Ping depth limit

When high powered transducers are searching for a bottom lock they can search down to a
maximum of 3,048 m (10,000 ft) during its hunt cycle this means it can take some time to acquire or
re-acquire a bottom lock. To help improve sonar bottom lock re-acquisition time on high powered
transducers a ping depth limit can be set.
When using a CHIRP or non-CHIRP high power (greater than 600 W) transducer connected to the
1 kW transducer connector on an Axiom™ Pro MFD or RVX1000 sonar module the Ping depth limit
control will be available in the Fishfinder app's Transducer settings menu: Menu > Settings >
Transducer > Ping depth limit.
