The 700 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer.
531526-1_A - 747c_&_777c2_Man_Eng.qxp 10/2/2006 1:40 AM Page 7 www.reelschematic.com www.reelschematic.com The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83kHz) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability.

DualBeam PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers an area 20 feet wide.

A faster setting displays sonar information from more pings and shows more detail, but the information moves quickly across the display: a slower setting permits viewing of more sonar history, but does not display as much detail.

Higher sensitivities are often preferred, however, when the water contains debris (silt, storm debris, etc.) and it can be difficult to pick out targets. Conversely, if sensitivity is set too low, relevant targets may be missed.

This includes bottom contour features (drop-offs, humps, and holes), standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush piles) and a wide range of other potential objects (sunken boats, reefs).

Transducer: The transducer is part of the sonar system, which mounts on the boat and is in contact with the water, that converts the electrical energy from the transmitter into sound energy, and that forms the sonar beam in turn.

Wider viewing angles are better because the information remains visible even when viewing from the side.
