    USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT HOW SONAR WORKS HOW SONAR WORKS Your Pro Craft unit uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects, define the bottom terrain, as well as determine distance. Sonar technology is based on sound waves. Your Pro Craft unit sends out a sound wave signal.
  • Page 5: Simulator Operation

    USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT SIMULATOR OPERATION Actual depth capability depends on factors such as bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation. Units will typically read to deeper depths in fresh water than in salt water. SIMULATOR OPERATION The Pro Craft unit contains a simulator that allows you to use the unit as if you are on the water.
  • Page 6: What You See On Screen

    USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN If you are using the Pro Craft unit in Simulator when no transducer is con- nected, any selected options are lost when the unit is powered off. The Pro Craft unit will return to Factory Settings, or options selected when last used with a transducer, if no transducer is connected.

    USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT CONTROL FUNCTIONS Fish in Fish in Wide Beam Narrow Beam There are three different size fish sym- bols used to indicate the intensity of the sonar return. While signal intensity is a good indicator of relative fish size, differ- ent species of fish have different sonar characteristics, so it is not always possi- ble to distinguish fish size between vary-...

  • Page 11 USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT CONTROL FUNCTIONS The ARROW buttons often can be used when no menu is on-screen. In these situ- ations, pressing the ARROW button affects the function of the active (last- used) menu. This is a short-cut to menu operation.
  • Page 12: Menu Functions

    USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT MENU FUNCTIONS Sensitivity. The Sensitivity function controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver. The Pro Craft unit automatically adjusts the level of receiver sensitivity based on a number of fac- tors including the depth of the water and the level of noise present.
  • Page 13 USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT MENU FUNCTIONS After an adjustment is made, the menu disappears and the new sensitivity setting is in affect. If additional time is needed to study a menu, press and hold the MENU button and the menu will remain on-screen indefinitely. If you need to make an additional adjustment, press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW button.

Using manual Depth Range control, you can view sonar information from the area near the surface in great detail. To return to automatic Depth Range control, press the MENU button until the Depth Range menu appears on-...
  • Page 15 USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT MENU FUNCTIONS The Zoom range is shown on the left side of the screen and full range information is shown on the right side of the display. Zoom can either operate automatically, in which the Zoom range is constantly adjusted to show the bottom, or manually, in which the user controls the location of the Zoom range.

  • Page 17 USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT MENU FUNCTIONS Triplog provides seven pieces of informa- tion: the current digital depth, water sur- face temperature, current boat speed, the distance traveled since the Pro Craft unit was powered up or reset, the average speed, the total time elapsed since power- up or reset, and the input voltage from your boat’s electrical system.

Eleven contrast settings, +5 to -5, are possible. The display contrast will change as the adjustment is made so the optimum level of contrast can be achieved.
  • Page 19 USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT MENU FUNCTIONS Fish ID. There are three selections available: OFF, ID+ ON, and ADJUST. The fac- tory setting is ID+ ON. With Fish ID OFF, sonar returns are displayed as “raw” information. There is no interpretation made by the unit. Selecting ID OFF also disables the fish alarm.

  • Page 21 USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT USING THE DIAGNOSTIC FEATURE Another frequent use of depth offset is to show the depth beneath the deepest point of the hull. A negative value equal to the distance from the transducer location and the deepest point of the hull will have the same effect as mounting the transducer at the deepest point.

    These accessory sensors can be purchased independently or together as a single sensor (see the Humminbird Accessories catalog). If the sensors are con- nected and working properly, a “connected” message appears.

  • Page 25 MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY TROUBLESHOOTING the digital depth readout is working but there is no bottom visible on-screen, it is possible the depth range has been adjusted manually to a range lower than what is needed to display the bottom. Also, in very deep water, it may be nec- essary to manually increase the sensitivity setting to maintain a graphic depiction of the bottom.
