The top color (reddish brown) is the strongest color and the lower colors the weakest.

  • Page 68: Zero Line

    Zero Line The zero line represents the transducer’s position. It moves off the screen when a shifted range is used, or is shown at draft depth when ship’s draft is entered. Zero Line Range shifted Zero line Bottom Echoes Bottom echoes are normally strongest and displayed in reddish brown or red, but colors and width will vary with bottom material, depth, sea condition, installation, frequency, pulselength and sensitivity.

  • Page 69: Fish Schools

    Bottom nature The nature of the bottom is known from the intensity and length of the bottom tail. Generally, when observing the bottom nature, the lower sounding frequency is used, the pulselength is set to long, and the gain setting is not disturbed. In the hard and craggy bottom, the bottom appears more reddish and with a long tail.

  • Page 70: Other Echoes

    Fish school density If two fish scools appear with the same color at different depths, the one in deeper water is denser because the ultrasonic wave attenuates as it propagates and the fish school in deep water tends to be displayed in a weaker color. Less Reddish Strong (Sparse echo)
  • Page 71 Surface noise When the sea is rough or the ship passes over a wake, surface noise may appear at the top of the screen. It can be suppressed with the CLUTTER function.
