  • Page 4: Using The Pro Tracker Unit

    USING THE TRACKER UNIT HOW SONAR WORKS HOW SONAR WORKS Your Tracker unit uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects, define the bottom terrain, as well as deter- mine distance. Sonar technology is based on sound waves. Your Tracker unit sends out a sound wave signal.

  • Page 5: Simulator Operation

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

  • Page 9: Control Functions

    USING THE TRACKER UNIT 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- ing species.

With the unit powered on, press LIGHT once to turn the backlight on “high.” Press LIGHT a sec- ond time to turn the backlight on “low,” and a third time turns the back- light off.
  • Page 11 USING THE TRACKER UNIT 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. The menu appears on-screen while the adjustment is made and times out.

  • Page 12: Menu Functions

    USING THE TRACKER UNIT MENU FUNCTIONS Sensitivity. The Sensitivity function controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver. The Tracker unit automatically adjusts the level of receiver sensitivity based on a number of factors includ- ing the depth of the water and the level of noise present.
  • Page 13 USING THE TRACKER 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- screen and use the UP ARROW to...
  • Page 15 USING THE TRACKER 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 TRACKER 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 Tracker 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 21 USING THE TRACKER 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.

    MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY • If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, simply wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened in fresh water. Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the lens. Chemicals in the solution may cause cracking in the lens of the unit.

    MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Nothing happens when I turn the unit on. Check the power cable connection at both ends. Be sure the cable is connect- ed correctly to a reliable power source—red lead to positive, black lead to neg- ative or ground.
  • 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.
  • Page 26 MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY TROUBLESHOOTING/WARRANTY 7. My unit loses power at high speeds. Your Tracker unit has over-voltage protection that turns the unit off when input voltage exceeds 20 VDC. Some outboard motors do not effectively regulate the power output of the engine’s alternator and can produce voltage in excess of 20 volts when running at high RPMs.
