1-2 How the FISH 4500/4600 works The FISH 4500/4600 has two parts: - the transducer attached to the hull - the display unit. The transducer generates an ultrasonic pulse (sound that is above the hearing range of the human ear), which travels down towards the bottom at a speed of about 4800 ft/sec (1463 m/ sec), spreading out into a cone shape. When[...]

Fuel Calibrating the fuel usage can improve the ac- curacy of fuel measurements. T win engine installations require each fuel trans- ducer to be calibrated. This can be done at the same time with two portable tanks or at different times using one portable tank. Calibrating the fuel transducer(s) requires accurate measurement of the fuel consumption[...]

4-1 Interpreting the display The sonar displays do not show a fixed distance travelled by the boat; rather , they display a his- tory , showing what has passed below the boat during a certain period of time. The history of the sonar signal displayed de- pends on the depth of the water and the scroll speed setting. In shallow water , the echoes have[...]

Shadows Shadows are created around areas where the ultrasonic beam cannot ‘see’. These areas include hollows on the bottom or beside rocks and ledges, where the strong echoes returned off the rocks obscure the weak echoes of the fish and may also create a double bottom trace. See following for an example of the sonar display in such an environm[...]

When to use 200 kHz The 200 kHz frequency is especially suitable for use in shallow and medium depth water, typically less than 500 ft. (150 m) and while running at speed. At 200 kHz, the narrow cone reduces any noise caused by air bubbles. The 200 kHz frequency generates a higher definition pulse which produces little shadow and returns excellent [...]

4-3 Fish detection and display Where to find fish Underwater features like reefs, wrecks and rocky outcrops attract fish. Use the 50 kHz or 50/200 kHz frequency display to find these features, then look for fish by passing over the feature slowly several times using the Zoom display (see section 5-2 Sonar Zoom display). If there is a current, the f[...]

4-4 Gain Gain (sensitivity) controls the amount of detail displayed on the FISH 4500/4600. Understand- ing how to set suitable Gain settings is important for optimum performance. The Navman fishfinder has two gain modes, Auto Gain and Manual Gain. Normally the best results are obtained in Manual Gain, but practice and experience are required to obt[...]

4-5 Range Range is the vertical depth displayed on the FISH 4500/4600. The Navman fishfinder has two range modes, Auto Range and Manual Range: • In Auto Range, the fishfinder adjusts the depth range automatically so the bottom is always shown in the lower part of the display . The use of Auto Range is recom- mended for normal conditions. • In M[...]
