Surface Clutter
SURFACECLUTTER eliminates
most sonar returns
near the water surface
caused by trapped air, boat wakes and
temperature inversions. Most surface clutter
appears on the display because the strongest
sonar returns come from the shallowest objects.
The LEGEND 3000 SERIES uses a sophisticated feature
called TVG (Time Variable Gain) to overcome
surface clutter and counteract the effect of
depth on sonar return strength. The level 1
setting is optimal for making sonar information
from all depths appear uniformly. Many users,
however, prefer to see more surface clutter than
this setting shows. Selecting a higher number
shows more surface clutter, but sonar returns
nearest the surface will appear more intense
than they actually are.
The SURFACECLUTTER setting is retained in memory
after the LEGEND3000 SERIES is tur ned off. The factory
setting is 4.
50kHz Gain Offset (Deep Models Only)
The GAIN knob applies the same gain
increase/decrease to the 200kHz and
50kHz signal performance. This
menu allows for the gain applied to
the 50kHz beam to be adjusted higher or lower than the GAIN knob
setting to optimize it. An offset value of 5 applies the same gain to the
50kHz signal as the 200kHz gain set by the GAIN knob. Values higher
than 5 apply more gain to the 50kHz,values lower than 5 apply less
gain.
The 50kHz GAIN OFFSET setting is retained in memory after the Legend
3000/3005 Deep is turned off. The factory setting is 5.
White Line
WHITELINE activates and
adjusts a feature which
changes how the LEGEND
3000 SERIES draws the
bottom contour and
structure, and also
shows fainter sonar
returns more clearly.
When a WHITELINE setting
of 1 to 8 is selected, a
light gray band
highlights the strongest
sonar returns within the
sonar image and makes
a distinctive outline
along the bottom contour, structure and fish.
Selecting a larger numeric setting increases the
width of the band and makes fainter sonar
returns more noticeable, but the LEGEND3000’S
ability to show subtle differences in bottom
composition and structure is reduced. Selecting
a smaller numeric setting narrows the band and
shows greater variation in bottom composition.
Selecting OFF turns the WHITE LINE feature off.
The WHITE LINE setting is retained in memory after
the LEGEND 3000 SERIES is turned off. The factory
setting is OFF.
Filter
FILTER(DEEP Models only)
turns the filtering
algorithms on and off.
Select ONto filter excess sonar noise. Select OFF
to show the greatest amount of sonar
information.
The FILTER setting is retained in memory after the
3000 Deep/3005 Deep is turned off. The factory
setting is ON.
Depth Alarm
DEPTHALARM activates a
shallow water depth
alarm. The alarm will
sound when the digital
depth becomes equal to or less than the
setting. The tone sounds at a rapid rate for
several seconds and then sounds intermittently
until the boat moves to deeper water. The DEPTH
ALARM can be muted by pressing the CONTROLPANEL
knob; once muted, the alarm will not sound again
until the boat moves to water deeper than the
DEPTHALARM setting. International models have Depth
Alarm settings in full metres from 1 m to 99m.
Note: Remember that depth is measured from the
transducer,not from the surface of the water.
The DEPTHALARM setting returns to factory default
after the LEGEND3000 SERIES is tur ned off. The factory
setting is OFF.
