In theory the depth fi nder picks
up a bottom signal sent through a
transducer to the helm gauge unit
which is converted to readings
in feet, meters, or fathoms and
displayed on the gauge. The unit
features shallow or deep water
alarms, both of the audio and
visual type, and keel offset.
General Description
If equipped the depth fi nder will display depths of 2-199 feet, 1-92
meters, or 1-54 fathoms. To accommodate greater depths to be
displayed in the “ft” feet mode the depth sounder will automatically
change to “F” fathoms mode and continue to display depths to around
54 fathoms.
When the depth decreases below 200 feet the display will return to the
“ft” mode. Limits on depth will vary depending on transducers and
bottom conditions.
If the reading is less than 19.9 feet, meters, or fathoms, 1/10th
increments will be displayed. If the reading is more than 19.9 feet, all
readings will be in whole numbers.
The depth fi nder features an audible and LCD displayed depth alarm
with adjustable shallow and deep limits and a depth below keel offset
feature. These settings once made are stored in memory and will remain
even if the battery is not connected.
