Figure 17.10.1.2 - STC Preset values table

If in VERY SHALLOW WATER the Fish Finder display is showing a bottom or digital readout deeper than the actual depth this situation may occur if STC is set to LONG or MID when the bottom is shallow. This issue may be resolved by adjusting the STC value to SHORT or even to OFF in very shallow waters.

If in DEEP WATER the Fish Finder display is showing a very shallow bottom or digital readout this may happen because in conditions of strong Surface Clutter the Fish Finder may erroneously look on to the Surface Clutter. To solve this situation try to increase the STC to LONG or to CUSTOM increasing the STC length and strength.

If in DEEP WATER the Fish Finder doesn’t see the bottom, this may happen because the bottom is out of range or is very near to the maximum depth that can be tracked by the Fish Finder. In the latter case this may happen if the bottom composition is soft as mud, if the sea conditions are bad, there are thermoclines or the water is full of suspended materials (silt, plankton). All these factors may affect considerably the performance of the Fish Finder to be able to see the bottom. In these cases change the RANGE MODE from AUTO to MANUAL Range and manually adjust the depth range until the bottom echo becomes visible on the Fish Finder display.

17.10.2Surface Noise Filter

An automatic filter that attempts to dynamically remove Surface Clutter that causes the screen to be filled up with strong return echoes just below the surface. It may seem that the same functionality could be archived using on the STC control however there is main difference between such control in fact the STC control impacts the capability to detect and track the bottom and is not designed to cancel completely the surface noise, on the other side the Surface Noise Filter attempts to cancel completely the surface noise but it doesn’t affect the capability to detect and track the bottom.

The Surface Noise Filter has 9 settings: OFF, 1, ..., 8. When it is set to OFF the Surface Noise it is not cancelled. When it is set to 1 the Surface Noise is cancelled up to a depth of 5Ft, increasing the Surface Noise increases the depth in which the Surface Noise is cancelled up to a depth of 255Ft when the preset is set to 8, as shown in the Surface Noise Filter Table:

CPF180I, CPF300I specifications

The Standard Horizon CPF300i and CPF180i are two advanced marine chart plotters designed to enhance the navigation experience for both recreational and professional boaters. These units combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making them a popular choice among marine enthusiasts.

The Standard Horizon CPF300i is equipped with a bright 10.4-inch display that ensures excellent visibility even in direct sunlight. It features a high-resolution color screen that presents detailed cartographic information clearly. The unit integrates advanced GPS technology, providing precise positioning that is crucial for navigating complex waterways. Additionally, it comes with built-in Wi-Fi, enabling users to share their data and download updates easily.

One key feature of the CPF300i is its capability to support multiple chart formats, including C-MAP and Navionics. This flexibility allows users to select the cartography that best suits their needs, ensuring they have access to the most up-to-date navigational information available. The CPF300i also supports radar overlay and fish finder integration, making it an excellent tool for fishing and safe navigation in various conditions.

On the other hand, the CPF180i offers a slightly smaller 7-inch display but does not compromise on functionality. This model is perfect for smaller vessels, maintaining a compact form factor while delivering essential navigational features. The CPF180i also incorporates GPS functionality, ensuring accurate positioning and helping mariners stay on course. Its intuitive user interface allows for easy operation, making it accessible even to less experienced users.

Both models feature a built-in AIS (Automatic Identification System) that increases safety by displaying the positions of nearby vessels. The AIS integration allows users to monitor traffic in busy waterways and avoid potential collisions. Additionally, both units support NMEA 2000 connectivity, enabling integration with other onboard systems such as engine data and autopilot control.

In summary, the Standard Horizon CPF300i and CPF180i are equipped with high-resolution displays, robust GPS technology, and multiple chart support. The CPF300i, with its larger screen and advanced features, is ideal for those needing comprehensive navigation solutions, while the CPF180i caters to users looking for a compact and efficient unit. Together, they represent a significant advancement in marine navigation technology, providing boaters with the tools they need to enhance their on-water experience.
