1 How Sonar W orks Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 100 Series TM Fishing Syst em uses sonar to locate and define structure, bot tom contour and c omposition, as well as depth directly below the transducer . Y our 100 Series TM Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmissi[...]

2 The sound pulses are transmit ted at various frequencies depending on the application. V er y high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for great est definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and pro vide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz)[...]

Single Beam Sonar Y our 100 Series™ Fishing System uses a 200 kHz Single Beam sonar system with a 20 ° area of coverage. The 20 ° beam is focused on the bot tom, to show you structure, weeds and co ver . How GPS and Car tograph y Work Y our 100 Series TM Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplot ting , and uses GPS and sonar to determine y[...]

GPS uses a constellation of 24 sat ellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Y our present position is determined by receiving signals from up t o 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites. All satellites broadcast a uniquely c oded signal once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat rec[...]

5 What’ s On the Display The 100 Series TM can display a variety of useful information about the area under and Timer - elapsed time with T emp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver .
