1-1 OPERA TIONAL OVER VIEW Equipment Overview All operations of the CSH-7 are carried out through the display unit and the remote controller (option). The uncluttered, straight- forward control panel of the display unit provides intuitive op- eration. If you change a control setting you will see the associated reaction on the display almost immedia[...]

1-4 Seabed echo and tilt angle Case 1: T ilt angle 30 to 40 degrees This tilt angle will display the entire seabed since it is captured by the full width of the beam. Case 2: T ilt angle 10 to 20 degrees This tilt angle will only display half the seabed since it is only captured by the lower half of the beam. Case 3: T ilt angle 0 to 10 degrees Thi[...]

1-5 Points to consider • Normally , a vertically distributed fish school is a better sonar tar get than the seabed, because it reflects the transmitted pulse back toward the transducer . • In case 3, both fish schools a and b are presented. Gener- ally speaking, however , midwater fish schools tend to be larger than bottom fish schools and they[...]

1-6 Suitable tilt angle The figure below illustrates the relationship among tilt angle, depth and detection range. Refer to it to find out the suitable tilt angle for a given depth/detection range. 100 (200) 200 (400) 300 (600) 400 (800) Range (m) 0° 5° 10° 15° 20(40) 40(80) 60(120) 80(160) 100(200) 200(400) Vertical width of sonar beam 16° 28[...]

1-7 Adjusting the Gain The GAIN control adjusts receiver sensitivity (gain). Adjust it so fish echoes are clearly displayed with minimal noise on the screen. T oo high a setting not only displays excess noise and makes it difficult to discriminate wanted echoes but also causes seabed echoes to be painted in strong colors, resulting in echoes being [...]

4-1 FINE TUNING THE PICTURE Eliminating Unwanted Feeble Echoes Echoes from targets such as seabed and fish return to the trans- ducer in order of distance to them, and when we compare their intensities at the transducer face, those from nearer targets are generally stronger when their reflecting properties are nearly equal. The sonar operator will [...]

4-2 4. Locate a fish school on a long range setting which is ap- proaching own ship. Adjust the tilt to keep the fish school in the center of the sonar beam, namely , fish school is displayed in strongest colors possible. Confirm that the fish echo is displayed in the same color as it approaches. If the color sud- denly changes to weaker colors as [...]

4-3 fish echoes from seabed reflections. Decrease the PULSELENGTH setting on the Scan menu to shorten the pulselength. For search of surface and midwater fish in which seabed reflections are not so strong, use the longest pulselength “10”.

4-4 Rejecting Sonar Interference and Noise While observing the sonar picture, you may encounter occasional or intermittent noise and interference. These are mostly caused by on-board electronic equipment, engine or propeller noise, or electrical noise from other sonars being operated nearby .

6-1 INTERPRETING THE DISPLA Y Seabed Echoes When the tilt angle is widened, the seabed echo illustrated be- low will appear on the display . When the tilt is narrowed, the seabed trace becomes wider and weaker . By observing the sea- bed condition on the display , the skipper can prevent net dam- age. (A) Flat seabed Tilt angle: 10 ° to 15 ° (B) [...]

6-2 Fish Schools A fish school appears as a mass of echoes on the screen. The color of the mass shows the density of fish schools on the sonar beam. T o find distribution and center point of a fish school, try several different tilt angles. (A) Sea surface fish Tilt angle: -5 ° to 10 ° (B) Midwater, bottom fish Tilt angle: 30 ° or more Fish echo[...]

6-3 Sea Surface Reflections T o reduce sea surface reflections, set the tilt angle to 5 ° or higher, so the upper edge of the sonar beam does not hit the sea surface, or adjust TVG. When a narrow tilt angle is used, sea surface reflections cover a large area as illustrated below . Sea surface Sea surface Tx 16 ° Rx 19 ° Tilt angle indication Sea[...]

6-4 False Echo by Sidelobe An ultrasonic wave is emitted only in the direction set by the TIL T lever , however there are some emissions outside the main beam. These are called sidelobes. The ennergy of the sidelobe is fairly weak but when the water is comparatively shallow and the bottom is rocky and hard, strong signals are detected by the sidelo[...]
