Humminbird 3D manual

The Wide 3D Paramount will help you further differentiate between fish by assigning either solid, gray or hollow fish symbols. Solid fish pointing to the right are detected in the right inside beam, solid fish pointing left are detected in the left inside beam. Gray fish pointing right are detected in the middle right beam, gray fish pointing left are detected in the left middle beam. Hollow fish pointing to the right are detected in the right outside beam, hollow fish pointing to the left are detected in the left outside beam. To help accurately locate fish, Fish ID attaches fish returns to the bottom at a point which precisely shows the left-right location of the return. ID+ also assigns a depth to each fish to help locate fish vertically. By understanding how the Wide 3D Paramount interprets and graphically depicts sonar information, the user can confidently and accurately locate fish, relative to the location of the boat.

Using the 2D View

When operating in the 2D view, the Wide 3D Paramount operates like most depthsounders. However, there are several exceptions. The six beam 53 degree transducer allows you to search for fish with a much wider area of coverage than most depthsounders. Only the two center beams provide information to draw the bottom depiction. Using a narrower beam provides much more detailed information. Also, you have the ability to quickly switch back to the 3D view for a better idea of where targets are located.

Figure H shows a typical view you can expect to see on- water, when using the 2D view. New sonar information appears on the right side of the graphic area of the display and moves to the left as new information is displayed. The Wide 3D Paramount automatically selects the appropriate depth range to show the depth of water beneath the transducer. This range is selected so that the bottom representation is typically shown about 2/3 down the display.

The graphic depiction of the bottom provides the user

with an effective tool for understanding the composition of the bottom. The FSTN type display uses 4 discrete levels of gray to indicate the intensity of the returned sonar signal. The Wide 3D Paramount can display even the smallest sonar returns with light gray pixels. Larger returns are displayed with darker shades of gray. If the bottom is hard and smooth, the bottom depiction is narrow and dense. If the bottom is soft mud or sand, the depiction will be thick and less dense. This indicates that much of the signal is absorbed by the soft bottom. If the bottom is rocky or rugged in composition, the depiction is of varying density and textured in appearance.

3D specifications

Humminbird 3D is a groundbreaking sonar technology that has revolutionized the way anglers and marine enthusiasts navigate and fish under the surface of water. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques, this system provides an unparalleled view of underwater structures, fish, and other elements, making it a vital tool for any serious angler.

At its core, Humminbird 3D employs a proprietary sonar technology that combines traditional 2D sonar with sophisticated 3D mapping capabilities. This dual functionality allows users to visualize underwater environments in a way that was previously unimaginable. The 3D views offer depth perception, enabling anglers to identify ledges, drop-offs, and other crucial fishing spots with precision. Instead of just a flat representation, users can see the terrain's contours, making it easier to understand the underwater landscape.

One of the standout features of Humminbird 3D is its ability to create real-time three-dimensional maps. This allows users to dynamically adjust their strategies while fishing, as they can continually monitor how fish are interacting with their surroundings. Furthermore, the system boasts enhanced target separation capabilities, making it easier to distinguish between individual fish and structures.

Another key technology utilized in Humminbird 3D is its integration with the CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar technology. This allows for clearer images and improved target resolution, providing comprehensive details about various underwater elements. The result is greater accuracy in identifying fish species and understanding their behavior in relation to underwater structures.

Humminbird 3D also features an easy-to-use interface, designed to be intuitive for users of all experience levels. The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing Humminbird products, enhancing the functionality of existing setups without requiring a complete overhaul. Additionally, it supports connectivity with other devices, allowing for the sharing of data and enhancing the overall fishing experience.

Durability and reliability are also characteristics inherent to the Humminbird 3D system. Designed for the harsh environments of marine use, it can withstand the rigors of fishing and boating, ensuring that users have a dependable tool at their disposal.

In summary, Humminbird 3D is a game-changer in the realm of sonar technology, providing anglers with unprecedented insights into underwater environments. Its combination of 3D mapping, CHIRP sonar, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly interface makes it a valuable asset for anyone looking to enhance their fishing experience and gain an edge on the water.
