TRANSDUCERS

Wide side operation

The Wide Side Transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer that is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The Wide Side transducer uses three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right and

straight down from your boat. The

downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24 degree area of coverage. This

beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. The side

beams are 455 kHz with a 16 degree area of coverage. The side-looking elements can be used independently,

or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat.

The Wide Side transducer can be connectedly directly to the 450TX or used in conjunction with the standard transducer through a transducer switch. When used with a switch in conjunction with the Tri-Beam transducer, the 450TX recognizes which transducer is connected whenever the switch position is changed.
