  • Page 18: Selecting A Display Mode

    Selecting a Display Mode Mode NORMAL HISTORY The CSH-53 provides three display modes: normal sonar pic- ture, echo sounder combination, and history display combina- tion. Those modes may be selected with the NORM, E/S and HIST keys. Table 2-1 Display mode description The sonar picture appears over the entire screen.

  • Page 19: Selecting A Display Range

    Selecting a Display Range Setting the Tilt Angle Operate the RANGE control to select a display range. The range selected appears at the top center of the screen. The tilt angle shows the direction to which the sound wave is emitted.
  • Page 20 Case 1 Figure 2-1 Fish echo and tilt angle Points to consider • Normally, a vertically distributed fish school is a better sonar target than the seabed, because it reflects the transmitted pulse back toward the transducer. • In case 3, both fish schools a and b are presented. Gener-...
  • Page 21 Tilt angle for surface fish Sound emitted from the sonar transducer forms a circle-shaped beam with a width of approximately 16 degrees in the vertical direction (vertical beam width). The tilt angle is indicated by the angle between the center line of the beam and the horizontal plane.

Refer to it to find out the suitable tilt angle for a given depth/detection range.

  • Page 23: Adjusting The Gain

    Adjusting the Gain Measuring Range and Bearing to a Target The GAIN control adjusts receiver sensitivity (gain). Adjust it so fish echoes are clearly displayed with minimal noise on the screen. Too high a setting not only displays excess noise and makes it difficult to discriminate wanted echoes but also causes seabed echoes to be painted in strong colors, resulting in echoes being masked by seabed reflections.

  • Page 25: Fine Tuning The Picture

    The CSH-53 has three TVG functions, NEAR, MEDIUM and FAR, and they mainly compensate for propagation loss on short, middle and long ranges respectively, centered at the ranges shown below.
  • Page 26 6. Adjust the tilt to keep the fish school in the center of the sonar beam, namely, fish school is displayed in strongest colors possible. Confirm that the fish echo is displayed in the same color as it approaches. If the color suddenly changes to weaker colors as the fish enters MEDIUM and NEAR areas, the TVG is improperly set.

  • Page 27: Seabed Echoes

    While it is ideal to suppress seabed echoes with the AGC con- trol alone there are some fishing grounds where this is not pos- sible. (The high power sonar has the advantage of long-range detection but this can also be a disadvantage, since weaker ech- oes may be hidden in strong, unwanted echoes such as the sea- bed.)

  • Page 28: Suppressing Seabed And Sea Surface Reflections In Shallow Waters

    Figure 3-2 How to suppress seabed and sea surface reflections in shallow waters While observing the sonar picture, you may encounter occa- sional 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.
  • Page 29 CYCLE) When other sonars operate nearby at the same transmission in- terval as that of own ship’s sonar, an interference ring caused by other sonars is displayed. To erase the interference ring from the screen, reduce the CYCLE on the data setting window.

  • Page 65: Measuring Fish School Speed

    Measuring Fish School Speed Latest fish mark To ensure a good haul, it is important to estimate the direction and speed of the fish school before shooting the net. You can do this with the FISH key. If the tidal current data is used together with fish speed data, you can determine the timing of the net shooting more efficiently.

    Open the data setting window and select SONR•BEAM. Set UP/ TM in the SONAR menu to TM. This function requires speed and heading inputs. Although the true motion mode is available for use in all modes, use in the combination mode is not recommended since the own ship mark may move into the combination picture area.

  • Page 69: Plotting Net Location Mark

    Plotting Net Location Mark Before shooting net, you will decide the shoot timing consider- ing the water current direction, distance to fish school and mov- ing direction of the fish school. Use the net location mark as a guide to decide the timing. This function requires speed and heading inputs.

  • Page 70: Observing Net Behavior

    Observing Net Behavior 7-16 With net sonde connection you can observe net behavior after the throwing of the net, on the echo sounder combination mode. Accurate depiction of net sonde position depends on proper set- ting of the distances between net sonde transmitters. You can set those distances on NET SONDE XMTR in the DATA SET menu.

  • Page 71: Reducing Sea Surface Reflections
