1.4.1Single frequency display

Low frequency (50 kHz)

The sounder uses ultrasound pulse signals to detect bottom conditions. The lower the fre- quency of the signal, the wider the detection area. Therefore, the 50 kHz frequency is use- ful for general detection and judging bottom condition.

High frequency (200 kHz)

The higher the frequency of the ultrasound pulse signal, the better the resolution. For this reason the 200 kHz frequency is ideal for de- tailed observation of schools of fish.

Low frequency

High frequency

1.4.2Dual frequency display

The 50 kHz picture appears on the left; the 200 kHz picture on the right. This display is useful for comparing the same picture with two different frequencies.

1. OPERATION

1.4.3Zoom displays

Zoom mode expands chosen area of the sin- gle frequency picture. Three modes are avail- able: bottom lock, bottom zoom and marker zoom. The default zoom mode is bottom lock.

Bottom lock display

The bottom lock display provides a normal picture on the right half of the screen and a 10-30 feet (default: 15 feet) wide layer in con- tact with the bottom is expanded onto the left half of the screen. This mode is useful for de- tecting bottom fish.

* This section zoomed on the left half.

Note 1: To adjust the range of the zoom dis- play, go to the [Range] menu (see section 2.2).

Note 2: To show or hide the zoom marker, go to the [Display] menu.

1.14A-scope Display

The A-scope display shows echoes at each transmission with amplitudes and tone pro- portional to their intensities, on the right 1/3 of the screen. The display shows strong echoes with strong amplitude; weak echoes in weak amplitude. Thus the A-scope display is useful for estimating the kind of school of fish and bottom composition.

Note: The A-scope display is only available with the high frequency display in dual fre- quency operation.

1.Open the menu, select [Display] and press the ENTER key.

2.Select [A-Scope] and press the ENTER key.

3.Select the A-scope pre- sentation type desired and press the ENTER key.

[Off]: Turn off the A-scope display.

[Normal]: Display shows echoes at each transmission with amplitudes and tone proportional to their intensities.

[Peak]: "Normal" A-scope display plus peak-hold amplitude picture for last five seconds in dots.

4.Press the MENU/ESC key twice to close the window.

Directional angle display

With the transducer selected for other than 600 W or 1kW (FCV-587 only), directional an- gle range line, direction angle, directional ra- dius, directional radius value and directional radius line appear on the A-scope display. The directional angle display provides an at- a-glance view of the available detection range. In the example below an echo from a school of fish is at the depth of 20 m. and with- in 8. 5 m radius of the center of the transducer beam.

Note: The directional angle range lines repre- sent the transducer beamwidth. They are not an indication of echo strength.

1.15Fish Information (ACCU-FISHTM)

The ACCU-FISHTM feature measures the length of individual fish and tags the fish with a fish symbol whose size is proportional to the length of the fish. The length or depth of the fish can be indicated digitally. Connection to a

transducer that supports ACCU-FISHTM is re- quired.

Note: The fish length calculated by this fish finder is intended for reference purposes; it is not a completely accurate measurement of fish length.

Considerations for ACCU-FISHTM

???The 600 W transducers which support ACCU-FISHTM are 520-5PSD, 520-5MSD, 525-5PWD, 525STID-MSD and 525STID-PWD.

???To display fish marks and fish size using a 1 kW transducer, the integrated transducer 50/200-1T or 50/200-12M is recommended.

???Echo intensity depends on fish species. When the fish length differs between the in- dicated length and the actual length, you can compensate the difference on the [Calib] menu (see section 2.6).

???ACCU-FISHTM is inoperative when the zero line rejector is active.

???High and low frequencies are alternately transmitted when ACCU-FISHTM is active, regardless of mode selection.

???A fish whose depth is shallower than 2 m or greater than 100 m cannot be measured.

???If the transducer is installed inside the hull, the signal is attenuated by the hull. There- fore, a fish may not be detected or the fish length indicated may be shorter than actual length.

???In a school of fish, echoes overlap one an- other, so the margin of error will be greater.

???The bottom echo must be present to show the fish symbols.

???The TX pulse length changes according to ACCU-FISHTM On/Off state. This causes a difference in both sensitivity and the echoes viewed.

[TVG]: Two schools of fish of the same size are displayed in different colors between deep water and in shallow water because of the feature of the ultrasound waves. TVG com- pensates for propagation attenuation of the ultrasound waves. It does this by equalizing echo presentation so that the schools of fish of the same size appear in the same color (echo strength) in both shallow and deep wa- ters. The gain is adjusted automatically de- pending on the depth. The gain is low at short distance and increases over distance. [High] provides the greatest degree of gain reduction against short range echoes.

Note: Auto gain must be disabled to use the TVG.

[Smoothing]: Smooth echo presentation when enabled. Turn smoothing on when ech- oes appear "spotty" or ???jagged???.

4.2Display Unit

Mounting considerations

The display unit can be installed on a desktop, or flush mounted in a console. When choos- ing a location keep the following in mind:

???Locate the unit away from the air from air conditioners.

???The operating temperature range is 5??F to 131??F.

???Locate the unit away from devices that emit active gas.

???The mounting location must be well venti- lated.

???Select a location where vibration and shock are minimal.

???Select a location out of direct sunlight. Pro- longed exposure to direct sunlight can cause LCD blackout.

???A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the com- pass. Observe the compass safe distances in the safety instructions to prevent distur- bance to the compass.

Desktop mounting

1.Remove the tape from the bottom of the bracket assembly.

6.Fasten the display unit from behind with four sets of flat washers, spring washers and wing nuts (supplied).

4.3Thru-hull Mount Transducer

Transducer mounting location

The thru-hull mount transducer provides the best performance of all, since the transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbulence near the hull skin is reduced. When the boat has a keel, the trans- ducer should be at least 30 cm away from it.

The performance of this fish finder is directly related to the mounting location of the trans- ducer, especially for high-speed cruising. The installation should be planned in advance, keeping the length of the transducer cable and the following factors in mind:

???Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the boat seriously degrade the sounding capability of the transducer. The transducer should, therefore, be locat- ed in a position where water flow is the smoothest. Noise from the propellers also adversely affects performance and the transducer should not be mounted nearby. The lifting strakes are notorious for creating acoustic noise, and these must be avoided by keeping the transducer inboard of them.

???The transducer must always remain sub- merged, even when the boat is rolling, pitching or up on a plane at high speed.

???A practical choice would be somewhere be- tween 1/3 and 1/2 of the boat's length from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical loca- tion is generally rather far astern, so that the transducer is always in water regard- less of the planing attitude.

Procedure for installation of the thru-hull mount transducer

1.With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location chosen for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull.

2.If the hull is not level within 15?? in any di- rection, fairing blocks made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face parallel with the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown below and make the entire surface as

Saw along slope of hull.

Construction of fairing block

3.Drill a hole just large enough to pass the threaded stuffing tube of the transducer through the hull, making sure it is drilled vertically.

4.Apply a sufficient amount of high quality caulking compound to the top surface of the transducer, around the threads of the stuffing tube and inside the mounting hole (and fairing blocks if used) to ensure wa- tertight mounting.

5.Mount the transducer and fairing blocks and tighten the locknut. Be sure that the transducer is properly oriented and its working face is parallel to the waterline.

Note: Do not over-stress the stuffing tube and locknut through excessive tightening, since the wood block will swell when the boat is placed in the water. It is suggested that the nut be tightened lightly at installation and re- tightened several days after the boat has been launched.

Transducer preparation

Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer thoroughly with a detergent liquid soap. This will lessen the time neces- sary for the transducer to have good contact with the water. Otherwise the time required for complete "saturation" will be lengthened and performance will be reduced.

DO NOT paint the transducer. Performance will be affected.

4.4Transom Mount Transducer

The optional transom mount transducer is very commonly employed, usually on relative- ly small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor boat because turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer.

DO NOT overtighten screws; they may be damaged.

525-5PWD mounting locations

Select the installation method depending on the rise angle of the hull.

Installation procedure

A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm away from the engine and where the water flow is smooth.

1.Drill four pilot holes for self-tapping screw (5x20) in the mounting location.

2.Coat the threads of the self-tapping screws (5x14) for the transducer with sili- cone sealant for waterproofing. Attach the transducer to the mounting location with the self-tapping screws.

3.Adjust the transducer position so the transducer faces right to the bottom. If necessary, to improve water flow and minimize air bubbles staying on the trans- ducer face, incline the transducer about 5?? at the rear. This may require a certain amount of experimentation for fine tuning at high cruising speeds.

4.Tape the location shown in the figure be- low. Fill the gap between the wedge front of the transducer and transom with epoxy material to eliminate any air spaces.

4.5How to Mount a Thru-hull Trans- ducer Inside the Hull

The thru-hull mount transducer may also be installed inside the hull on FRP boats. Howev- er, this installation method affects the ability to detect the bottom, fish and other objects be- cause the ultrasound pulse is weakened when it passes through the hull.

Note: This mounting method should not be

4. INSTALLATION

Remarks on installation

???Do the installation with the ship moored at a dock, etc. The water depth should be 6.5-32 feet (2-10 meters).

???Turn off the engine.

???Install the transducer with the engine room.

???Do not power the unit with the transducer in the air, to prevent damage to the transduc- er.

???Do not use this method on a double layer hull.

???Before attaching the transducer to the hull, check that the site is suitable. Put the trans- ducer in a water-filled plastic bag. Connect the transducer to the display unit and put the transducer on the installation site. Turn on the display unit and check that the depth indication appears.

Installation procedure

If the thickness of the hull varies, then the at- tenuation of the ultrasound pulse. Select a lo- cation where attenuation is the lowest.

1.Select 2-3 locations considering the four points mentioned below. (You will finalize the mounting location through some trial and error later.)

???Mount the transducer at a location 1/2 to 1/3 of the length of the boat from the stern.

???The mounting location is between 15 to 50 cm from the centerline of the hull.

???Do not place the transducer over hull struts or ribs which run under the hull.

The optional transom mount triducer 525STID-PWD can be installed by the thru- hull method or the inside-hull method.

Pre-test for speed and temperature

Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin the paddlewheel. Check for a speed reading and the approximate air temperature. If there is no reading, return the sensor to your place of purchase.

Tools and materials needed

??? Drill bit:

For bracket holes: 4 mm, #23, or 9/64"

For fiberglass hull: chamfer bit (preferred), 6 mm, or 1/4"

For transom hole: 9 mm or 3/4" (optional)

For cable clamp holes: 3 mm or 1/8"

???Water-based antifouling paint (mandatory in salt water)

Mounting location

To ensure the best performance, the sensor must be submerged in aeration-free and tur- bulence-free water. Mount the sensor close to the centerline of the boat. On slower heavier displacement hulls, positioning it farther from the centerline is acceptable.

Allow adequate space above the bracket for it to release and rotate the sensor upward.

Height without speed sensor 191 mm (7-1/2")

4. INSTALLATION

Note 1: Do not mount the sensor in an area of

turbulence or bubbles: near water intake or discharge openings; behind strakes, struts, fittings, or hull irregularities; behind eroding paint (an indication of turbulence).

Note 2: Avoid mounting the sensor where the boat may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, and storage.

Note 3: For single drive boat, mount on the starboard side at least 75 mm (3") beyond the swing radius of the propeller.

Warning: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.

4. INSTALLATION

3.Using a 4 mm, #23, or 9/64" bit, drill three holes 22 mm (7/8") deep at the locations indicated. To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape around the bit 22 mm (7/8") from the point.

Fiberglass hull: Minimize surface crack- ing by chamfering the gelcoat. If a cham- fer bit or countersink bit is not available, start drilling with a 6mm or 1/4" bit to a depth of 1 mm (1/16").

4.If you know your transom angle, the bracket is designed for a standard 13?? transom angle.

11??-18?? angle: No shim is required. Skip to step 3 in "Adjustments".

Other angles: The shim is required. Skip to step 2 of "Adjustments".

If you do not know the transom angle, temporarily attach the bracket and sensor to the transom to determine if the plastic shim is needed.

5.Using the three #10 x 1-1/4" self-tapping screws, temporarily screw the bracket to the hull. DO NOT tighten the screws com- pletely at this time. Follow the step 1-4 in "Attaching the sensor to the bracket", be- fore proceeding with "Adjusting".

Adjustments

1.Using a straight edge, sight the underside of the sensor relative to the underside of the hull. The stern of the sensor should be 1-3 mm (1/16-1/8") below the bow of the sensor or parallel to the bottom of the hull. Note: Do not position the bow of the sen- sor lower than the stern because aeration will occur.

2.To adjust the sensor's angle relative to the hull, use the tapered plastic shim pro- vided. If the bracket has been temporarily fastened to the transom, remove it. Key the shim in place on the back of the brack- et.

2??-10?? transom angle (stepped tran- som and jet boats): Position the shim with the tapered end down.

19??-22?? transom angle (small alumi- num and fiberglass boats): Position the shim with the tapered end up.

Sensor position and transom angle

3.If the bracket has been temporarily fas- tened to the transom, remove it. Apply a marine sealant to the threads of the three #10 x 1-1/4" self tapping screws to pre- vent water seeping into the transom. Screw the bracket to the hull. Do not tight- en the screws completely at this time.

4.Repeat step 1 to ensure that the angle of the sensor is correct.

Note: Do not position the sensor farther into the water than necessary to avoid in- creasing drag, spray, and water noise and reducing boat speed.

5.Using the vertical adjustment space on the bracket slots, slide the sensor up or down to provide a projection of 3 mm (1/ 8"). Tighten the screws.

3.Maintain pressure until the pivot arms click into place.

4.Rotate the sensor downward until the bot- tom snaps into the bracket.

5.Close the retaining cover to prevent the accidental release of the sensor when the boat is underway.

Cable routing

Route the sensor cable over the transom, through a drain hole, or thorough a new hole drilled in the transom above the waterline.

Never cut the cable or remote the connector; this will void the warranty. Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.

1.If a hole must be drilled, choose a location well above the waterline. Check for ob- structions such as trim tabs, pumps, or wiring inside the hull. Mark the location with a pencil. Drill a hole through the tran- som using a 19 mm or 3/4" bit (to accom- modate the connector).

2.Route the cable over or through the tran- som.

4. INSTALLATION

3.On the outside of the hull secure the cable against the transom using the cable clamps. Position a cable clamp 50 mm (2") above the bracket and mark the mounting hole with a pencil.

4.Position the second cable clamp halfway between the first clamp and the cable hole. Mark this mounting hole.

5.If a hole has been drilled in the transom, open the appropriate slot in the transom cable cover. Position the cover over the cable where it enters the hull. Mark the two mounting holes.

6.At each of the marked locations, use a 3 mm or 1/8" bit to drill a hole 10 mm (3/8") deep. The prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape around the bit 10 mm (3/8") from the point.

7.Apply marine sealant to the threads of the #6 x 1/2" self-tapping screw to prevent water from seeping into the transom. If you have drilled a hole through the tran- som, apply marine sealant to the space around the cable where it passes through the transom.

8.Position the two cable clamps and fasten them in place. If used, push the cable cov- er over the cable and screw it in place.

9.Route the cable to the instrument being careful not to tear the cable jacket when passing it though the bulkhead(s) and other parts of the boat. To reduce electri- cal interference, separate the sensor ca- ble from other electrical wiring and "noise" sources. Coil any excess cable and se- cure it in place with zip-ties to prevent damage.
