    1.17 Alarms Bottom alarm The bottom alarm sounds when the bottom is within the alarm range set. To activate the bottom alarm the depth must be displayed. Fish alarm There are two types of fish alarms: bottom- lock and normal. The bottom-lock fish alarm sounds when fish are within a certain distance from the bottom.

  • Page 21: White Marker

    1.18 White Marker The white marker functions to display a par- ticular echo color in white. For example, you may want to display the bottom echo (red- dish-brown) in white to discriminate fish ech- oes near the bottom. Note that the bottom must be displayed in reddish-brown for the white marker to function.

  • Page 25: Tvg Level

    2.5 TVG Level TVG (Time Varied Gain) compensates for propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic waves. It does this by equalizing echo pre- sentation so that fish schools of the same size appear in the same density in both shallow and deep waters. In addition, it reduces sur- face noise.

  • Page 26: Interpreting The Display

    INTERPRETING THE DISPLAY 3.1 Zero Line The zero line (sometimes referred to as the transmission line) represents the transducer’s position, and moves off the screen when a deep phased range is used. Zero line Shift Figure 3-1 Zero line 3.2 Fish School Echoes Fish school echoes will generally be plotted between the zero line and the bottom.

  • Page 27: Bottom Echo

    3.4 Surface Noise/Aeration When the waters are rough or the boat passes over a wake, surface noise may appear near the zero line. As surface turbulence is acous- tically equivalent to running into a brick wall, the bottom echo will be displayed intermit- tently.
