Description

Settings

Echo Offset

If the on-screen echo level appears to be too weak

-50 - +50

(HF, LF)

or too strong and the level cannot be adjusted

 

 

satisfactorily with the gain control, adjust echo

 

 

offset to compensate for too weak or too strong

 

 

echoes.

 

Bottom Level

If the depth indication is unstable in automatic

-100 - +100

(HF, LF)

operation or the bottom echo cannot be displayed

 

 

in reddish-brown by adjusting the gain control in

 

 

manual operation, you may adjust the bottom echo

 

 

level detection circuit, for both HF and LF, to

 

 

stabilize the indication. Note that if the level is set

 

 

too low weak echoes may be missed and if set too

 

 

high the depth indication will not be displayed.

 

KP Pulse

Selects source of keying pulse.

Internal, External (See

 

installation manual.)

 

 

Smoothing

Smoothes echoes to present stable display. The

SM1-SM4, OFF

 

higher the setting the greater the smoothing.

 

TLL Output

Outputs current position to plotter where it is

ON, OFF

 

marked with TLL mark. Use soft key to output TLL.

 

STC (HF, LF)

Adjusts STC level for the high and low frequencies,

0-10

(For ETR-30N

and is useful for suppressing surface noise. The

 

only)

setting range is 0-10; the higher the setting the

 

 

greater the extent of suppression. Setting 10

 

 

suppresses noise up to several meters. Turn off

 

 

the STC when there is no noise on the screen,

 

 

otherwise weak echoes may be missed.

 

FREQ. ADJ.

Interference from other acoustic equipment

-10 - +10 %

(HF, LF) (For

operating nearby or other electronic equipment on

 

ETR-30N only)

your boat may show itself on the display. You may

 

 

suppress these type of interference by adjusting

 

 

frequency.

 

TARGET

Sets fishing objective.

Normal, Surface

ECHO

Normal for general fishing, Surface for detecting

 

(For ETR-30N

surface. Pulse repetition rate is higher than

 

only)

NORMAL on the specified transducer.
