The Koden CVS-118Mk II screen may display only Xs instead of the background due to incorrect display color settings or interference. The manual suggests eliminating such noise by sequentially deleting display colors starting from the left side and checking changes in the rainbow color bar on the left side of the screen. Adjusting color rejection and interference rejection settings may also help resolve the issue.

Echo sounder - How it works- The echo sounder consists of a display unit and a transducer with specified frequencies (or a transducer with speed/temperature sensor.) An electronic pulse signal is generated in the transmitter section of the display unit. When coupled to the transducer, this signal is converted into an ultrasonic signal and is transmitted toward the bottom.
Name Control panel Front 5.6 inch LCD Knob Mounting bracket Rear SER DATA GPS/Loran C navigator Triducer with TEMP/SPEED sensor (6 pin) (8 pin) BUZZER Standard transducer connector (3 pin) Ground Note: Do not connect the transducer cable to both the STD and TRI connectors, otherwise malfunction may occur.
Getting started Displaying the normal image The normal image consists of two types, the fixed range and auto range. If you select the fixed range, the image is displayed on the screen within the extent between water surface and the predetermined range (depth). In the auto range, on the other hand, sea bottom is constantly kept on the screen and if water depth changes, the range is automatically switched accordingly.

Adjusting gain 1. Adjust the gain so that the bottom surface is displayed in the strongest echo color and the color becomes weaker the higher it goes on the screen. Use care so that the strongest echo color may not cover an excessively wide area. 2.
Shifting the depth range The normal image consists of two types, the fixed shift and auto shift. If you select the fixed shift, the image is displayed on the screen within the extent between the predetermined depth (Shift position) and the also predetermined range. In the auto shift, on the other hand, sea bottom is constantly on the lower part of the screen and if water depth changes, the image is automatically shifted to the direction of depth change.
Selecting multiple image Pressing the key changes the screen in the following sequence. kHz: Transmission frequency Normal Normal/Bottom Bottom zoom Normal/ zoom Normal(low)/ (hight) lock or bottom discrimination Pressing both sides of the key alternately selects the high and low frequency for the display.
Displaying the zoom image The zoom function allows you to view a desired image in an enlarged size. Two types of zoom images are available. One is the partial zoom which provides an enlarged image of the pre-specified range and the others the bottom zoom in which the bottom is constantly displayed on screen. The bottom zoom comes in three styles, namely the fixed bottom zoom, bottom quality zoom and partial bottom zoom.
Switching the zoom position Pressing the key sequentially changes the zoom image. This switching is not available when the bottom lock, bottom discrimination or partial bottom zoom is turned Note on because the zoom position is used as reference of the bottom.
Turning on or off display of the A-scope This function is used for displaying the fish image in A-scope so that you may quickly identify movement of the target fish. Display in A-scope Press to display the word A-SCOPE in right side of the screen. Deleting the A-scope Press the key once.
Storing event data The following event data is storable by pressing the key. Boat position....Position data from the connected navigation system is stored. Bottom depth....Bottom depth is stored. Water temperature...Water temperature is stored. Before it can be stored, water temperature data must be entered externally or from the water temperature sensor (option).
Menus Type of menus The echo sounder has the following menu’s: INITIAL MENU (1/2 and 2/2 pages), MENU (1/3,2/3 and 3/3 pages) consisting of five different screens. Calling the menu Initial menu : Press the key while holding down the key.
Switching the split screen layout between horizontal and vertical display You can select the horizontal or vertical layout for DISP.LAYOUT displaying the split screen image. Switching the peak hold PEAK HOLD Peak Hold: A video processing method, which compares the echoes generated from two consecutive transmissions and outputs the largest echo signal.
Correcting a displayed boat speed SPEED CORR.(-50~+50%) When the water temperature/speed sensor ST-80/90/100 is connected, you can correct currently displayed boat speed data Selecting a water temperature data source TEMP DATA INTERNAL EXTERNAL TRI connector and SER DATA connector are provided on the rear side of the incoming signal indicator unit. Both of them accept water temperature data.
OPERATION MENU 1/3 The following operations are available from 1/3 of the Menu: 1. Adjusting the operation panel illumination 2. Turning On or Off the enlarged Character Display. 3. Deleting interferences from other boats. 4. Displaying the white line on the bottom surface. 5.
5. Eliminating undesired colors COLOR REJ. Noise interference can be displayed on the screen in pale blue, white or pale green. You can eliminate such noise by sequentially deleting the display colors starting with left side. You can check changes in the display colors from the rainbow pattern that appears on the left side of the fish finding screen.
OPERATION MENU 2/3 The following operations are available from 2/3 of the Menu: 1. Selecting a color tone for the image display. 16 8 2. Changing the background color. 3. Turning on or off the alarm, and selecting the bottom or fish alarm.
6. Setting the magnitude (Color) of fish image signal for activating the fish alarm You can set a magnitude of fish image signal for activating the fish finder alarm. The alarm is activated when schools of fish having the magnitude (color) of the signal indicated in the left most part comes inside the specified depth range.
OPERATION MENU 3/3 The following operations are available from 3/3 of the Menu: 1. Adjusting the effect of auto gain. 2. Displaying boat position when a navigator is interfaced. 3. Selecting unit of boat speed. 4. Selecting unit of water temperature. 5.
Troubleshooting 1.Make sure that the display unit; triducer, and power cable are correctly installed as instructed. 2.Press POWER ON key; adjust GAIN until the bottom image is displayed in red. Adjust screen brightness for comfortable brightness. 3.If nothing happens after turning on, check power cable connection, power cable, fuse, and power source again.
