    Shift (the offset from the surface) and depth on which the Fish Finder shall operate. In Auto Range Mode the Fish Finder determines automatically the range as to keep the bottom visible in the lower bottom of the screen. In this mode, Shift is always set to 0. In Bottom Lock Mode the Fish Finder automatically tracks the range around the bottom specified by the Bottom Range value.

    Thus imposing the capability of the Fish Finder to correctly detect the weakest echoes coming from a very deep bottom. ALARMS The Alarms menu allows you to define alarm settings for Shallow Alarm, Depth Alarm and Temperature Upper/Lower/Rate. To set an Anchor Alarm, enter in a shallow water and depth value above and below your actual anchoring depth.
  • Page 28 depth below the keel or the actual water depth from the surface. If we want the Fish Finder to report the depth below the keel, we have to enter a negative value meaning the transducer is mounted above the keel. So if, the range scale is set to e.g. 20 feet, the actual depth below the transducer is 15 feet and a KEEL OFFSET of -3 feet is entered, then the digital depth shall report 12 feet because that is the depth below the keel and the scale on the graphic image shall change so that the range shown is...

  • Page 31: Transducer

    The transducer is a device that transmits and receives sound waves into the water. The active component inside the transducer is commonly referred to as an element but actually is a piezoelectric ceramic material. TRANSDUCER MOUNTING 6.0.0 Power Boats Basically there are 2 hull types of powerboats Planing and Displacement. In the pictures shown below the boxes with lines are where the transducer should be installed.

  • Page 32: Transducer Types

    6.0.2 Transducer Types Since there are many different shapes and sizes of hulls, STANDARD HORIZON offers a range of Depth transducers to fit the vessels requirements. 6.0.3 Low Profile Thru-Hull If the user is planning to mount a thru-hull transducer first he has to know the dead rise angle where the transducer will be located on the boat.

  • Page 35: Tips Of Operations

    HOW CAN I DISCONNECT THE CABLES FROM THE FF520 IN CASE I NEED TO DO SO FOR THE INSTALLATION? · Open the FF520 box unscrewing the four screws (see the following figure). · Once the screws are removed, pull out the panel and the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Unscrew the cables from the PCB.

  • Page 36: How Can I Set Optimal Operating Parameters

    · Push the panel towards the case (be sure to have well positioned the rubber gasket). Close the FF520 box screwing the four screws. HOW CAN I SET OPTIMAL OPERATING PARAMETERS. Optimal operating parameters can be set accordingly with the intended use of the Fish Finder, anyway to quickly get optimal operational parameters for fishing it is possible to select the FISH preset from the Fish Finder Setup menu, while for cruising it is possible to select the CRUISE preset.

  • Page 37: Can I Always Leave The Fish Finder In Full Auto/(Auto Gain And Auto Range) Mode?

    I SET THE PARAMETERS FOR OPTIMAL OPERATION. Setting operating parameters for optimal operation depends upon environment conditions, user feeling and intended usage of the Fish Finder (e.g. fishing or cruising), anyway a good starting point is to select a full auto preset such as CRUISE or FISH and then, after waiting a while to allow the echogram displayed to stabilize around the auto calculated parameters, switch to the MANUAL preset mode.

  • Page 38: Auto-Range Fails In Very Deep Waters Displayinga Digital Very Shallow Depth Readout. What Should I Do

    A DIGITAL VERY SHALLOW DEPTH READOUT. WHAT SHOULD I DO? The Fish Finder capability to detect the bottom decreases as the bottom depth increase. If the bottom composition is soft as mud, if the sea conditions are bad, if there are thermoclines or the water is full of materials in suspension it can further decrease thus causing the digital depth readout to fail.

  • Page 39: In Very Shallow Waters When The Auto Gain Mode Is Selected There Are Fluctuations In The Bottom Profile Width And Its Color Representation. What Should I Do

    IS SELECTED THERE ARE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE BOTTOM PROFILE WIDTH AND ITS COLOR REPRESENTATION. WHAT SHOULD I DO? In very shallow waters the environment situation (bottom/water condition) vary very quickly thus causing the auto gain algorithm to create oscillations while trying to set optimal GAIN value for each situation.
