Transmission

Turns TX power on/off.

On, Off

TVG

TVG (Time Varied Gain) compensates

0-9

(HF,LF)

for propagation attenuation of the

 

 

ultrasonic waves. It does this by

 

 

equalizing echo presentation so that

 

 

fish schools of the same size appear in

 

 

the same density in both shallow and

 

 

deep waters. In addition, it reduces

 

 

surface noise. Note that if the TVG

 

 

level is set too high short range

 

 

echoes may not be displayed.

 

Echo Offset

If the on-screen echo level appears to

-50 - +50

(HF, LF)

be too weak 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

-100 - +100

(HF, LF)

automatic 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

SM1-SM4, OFF

 

display. The higher the setting the

 

 

greater the smoothing.

 

TLL Output

Outputs current position to plotter

ON, OFF

 

where it is marked with TLL mark. Use

 

 

soft key to output TLL.
