vi The FCV -582L determines the distance be- tween its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and dis- plays the results on its screen. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave trans- mitted through water travels at a nearly con- stant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave st[...]

12 1.17 Alarms Bottom alarm The bottom alarm sounds when the bottom is within the alarm range set. T o activate the bottom alarm the depth must be displayed. Fish alarm There are two types of fish alarms: bottom- lock and normal. The bottom-lock fish alarm sounds when fish are within a certain distance from the bottom. The normal fish alarm sounds [...]

13 1.18 White Marker The white marker functions to display a par - ticular echo color in white. For example, you may want to display the bottom echo (red- dish-brown) in white to discriminate fish ech- oes near the bottom. Note that the bottom must be displayed in reddish-brown for the white marker to function. 1. Press the [ ▲ ] and [ ▼ ] keys[...]

15 2.1 Displaying the Optional Mode Menu The Optional mode mainly contains less-of- ten used functions which once preset do not require frequent adjustment.

18 2.5 TVG Level TVG (T ime V aried Gain) compensates for propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic waves. It does this by equalizing echo pre- sentation so that fish schools of the same size appear in the same density in both shallow and deep waters. In addition, it reduces sur - face noise. Note that if the TVG level is set too high short range e[...]

19 3.1 Zero Line The zero line (sometimes referred to as the transmission line) represents the transducer’ s position, and moves of f the screen when a deep phased range is used. Zero line Shift Figur e 3-1 Zer o line 3.2 Fish School Echoes Fish school echoes will generally be plotted between the zero line and the bottom. Usu- ally the fish schoo[...]

20 3.4 Surface Noise/Aeration When the waters are rough or the boat passes over a wake, surface noise may appear near the zero line. As surface turbulence is acous- tically equivalent to running into a brick wall, the bottom echo will be displayed intermit- tently . Similar noise sometimes appears when a water temperature dif ference (thermocline) [...]
