USING THE LCR

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

Also, in the manual mode everything below the bottom is no longer blacked out, therefore a second return or double echo can be displayed if desired. (See figure 15). Also, the hardness of the bottom can be determined by the thickness of the bottom return. For example, a hard or rock bottom will give a wider bottom return as compared to a soft or muddy bottom. (See Figure 16).

You should also note that it's possible to have the sensitivity set too high such that reflection off of suspended matter or air bubbles will begin to blackout the display.

5.Zoom and Bottom Lock: You will find the Zoom feature of the LCR to be a very valuable tool. The zoom Range is controlled by the Range Up or Range Down buttons. Each time one of these buttons is depressed the zoom region will move one division If the button is held down the region will continue to move as long as the button is held down.

The zoom region is indicated by the wide group of bars at the right side of the display. On the LCR4-ID this zoom region is 15 feet wide. On the LCR40-ID the region size may be selected at 15 feet, 30 feet or 60 feet by pressing the Zoom Size button. On the 15 ft. zoom each dot represents 21/2 inches, on the 30 ft. zoom each dot is 5 inches and on the 60 ft. each dot is 10 inches.
