Installation to bait boat

Install the probe

Please do not install the probe near the motor of the boat. Otherwise, the electronic noise caused by the motor and the bubbles generated by the propeller will greatly degrade the sonar performance of the product. Generally recommended to install at a distance from the bow of boat that the position of 1/3 of the length of the bait boat. And ensure that the probe draft is not less than 10CM.
Note: For different bait boats, the installation method of the probe is also different. The following is the probe installation guide for different types of bait boats on the market:

1. A bait boat without a probe mounting hole in the hull itself
   There is no specific probe mounting groove at the bottom of these bait boats. So you need to use tools to punch holes to install the probe on the bottom of the boat. The following is the installation diagram:
   probe installation Introduction
   
   
   1. Choose a flat installation location at the bottom of the boat. Drill a hole with a diameter of approximately 15 mm at the selected position.
   2. Assemble the probe and waterproof rubber pad. (Factory installed)
   3. Pass the assembled probe and rubber pad through the probe hole.
   4. Fix the probe with the lock knob inside the boat then the installation is completed.
2. A bait boat with a groove for installing the probe in the hull (No. 2 rubber sleeve)
   There is a groove at the bottom of the bait boat for installing probes. LBT-1-GPS comes with a appropriative No. 2 rubber sleeve. The installation steps are basically the same as in 1 above. The only difference is that the probe needs to be covered inside the rubber sleeve, so that it can be fully matched with the probe installation groove reserved on the boat.

Sonar settings

Sensitivity
Sensitivity is the sonar intensity. The stronger the sensitivity, the more sonar signals will be returned and displayed on the screen, and the more sensitive feedback from the underwater situation will be. But if the water is very shallow, too high sensitivity will also increase the reflected sound wave signal too much, resulting in the wrong signal being displayed. If the sensitivity is set too low in a deep water environment, it will be difficult to detect the corresponding underwater signal. Operation suggestion: In the case of deep water, increase the sensitivity; In the case of shallow water, lower the sensitivity.

Depth range
For example: the current depth is 20 meters, and you only need the fish information from 10 meters to 18 meters, you only need to set the lower limit of depth to 18 meters and the upper limit of depth to 10 meters, then only 10 meters to 18 meters fish information will be displayed on the screen.

Fish icon
Press the menu key until the fish icon menu is displayed. The fish icon function is to use advanced signal processing methods to distinguish and process the returned sound waves, so the information of the detected fish will be accurate to displayed on the screen. You can choose to turn on or turn off the fish icon.

Surface clarity
When the sonar is just launched, the closer the distance, the stronger the energy. And the stronger the detection ability to small objects. This causes the interference of the water surface to affect the normal detection, and the surface clarity function reduces the water surface the impact of normal detection.

Sonar color
The sonar color is used to change the display color of the sonar image, which can better distinguish underwater, fish, etc. Sonar colors are available in red, blue and gray.

Chart speed
Set the frequency of sonar data sampling.
Note: The more frequently the sonar data is collected, the more accurate the underwater situation displayed on the screen. However, too much data will cause the system to respond slowly.

System

Language
Language setting is to switch the languages of different countries. Under this menu, you can choose your preferred language (Chinese and English 2 languages).

Backlight
The backlight is to adjust the screen brightness.

Alarm

Fish alarm
Fish alarm refers to the alarm set when different fish icons appear. You can choose to turn off the fish alarm, or select the large, medium and small fish alarm. When you only need to make an alarm for the large fish, just set the large fish alarm. However, the prerequisite for the function of the fish alarm is that the detected fish situation can be alarmed only after the fish icon is turned on.

Shallow alarm
Shallow alarm is generally set to prevent stranding. When the actually measured water depth is lower than the set value, the fish finder will make an alarm to remind you that the current water depth is too shallow.

Main voltage
When the main device power supply voltage is lower than the set value, the fish Alarm finder will make an alarm.
For different batteries, we recommend the following settings:

Boat voltage
When the boat's battery is used to power the control box, the voltage value in the lower left corner of the display represents the voltage value of the boat's battery. When the voltage is lower than the set value, the fish finder will make an alarm. Once the alarm occurs, the battery needs to be charged in time, and overuse will affect the battery's service life.

Units
