Fishfinder Presets - Raymarine a series Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Water depth
As water depth increases signal strength decreases, resulting in
a lighter onscreen image of the bottom.
Size of the target
The larger the target, the larger the return on the fishfinder
display. The size of a fish target is also dependent upon the size
of the fish's swim bladder rather than its overall size. The swim
bladder varies in size between different breeds of fish.
Clutter / Background noise
The fishfinder picture may be impaired by echoes received from
floating or submerged debris, air bubbles or even the vessel's
movement. This is known as 'Noise' or 'Clutter' and is controlled
by the Sensitivity Settings. The system can automatically control
some settings according to depth and water conditions. You can
also adjust the settings manually if required.
Transducer frequency
The same target will appear differently when using different
transducer frequencies. The lower the frequency the broader
the mark.
Recovering lost bottom
If the seabed floor (bottom) is lost then follow the steps below
to recover the bottom depth.
From the fishfinder application:
1. Ensure your vessel is in clear undisturbed water.
2. If range is set to Manual, adjust the range to the known,
charted depth of your location. or
3. If range is set to Auto then switch the range to manual and
adjust the range to the known, charted depth of your location.
4. Once bottom has been regained you can switch range mode
back to Auto.

17.8 Fishfinder presets

The fishfinder provides you with four preset configurations
available from the fishfinder menu. These enable you to quickly
select appropriate settings tailored for various situations.
Each preset has been configured to provide the best operating
parameters for the fishfinder. However, it is possible to manually
adjust the presets if necessary. The four default presets are:
• Single — this preset provides quick access to a
single-frequency configuration, suitable for general fishing
conditions.
• Dual — this preset provides a dual frequency configuration.
You can either display two different frequencies at the same
time in one window, or display one frequency at full-screen on
your master display and the other frequency at full-screen on
an additional networked display.
• Shallow — this preset optimizes the fishfinder display for
shallow waters.
• Deep — this preset optimizes the fishfinder display for deep
waters.
