12 Basic operation | S3009 Echo Sounder User Manual

Alarm depth
An alarm is generated if the measured depth becomes shallower than the set alarm limit.
The depth alarm limit is indicated in the echosounder information panel (A), and a horizontal
line (B) indicates the depth settings on the image.
The alarm depth is always shown with the same reference as the measured depth.
Draft
The draft setting can be adjusted for different sailing and load conditions.
The draft value is indicated in the echosounder information panel (A).
ÚNote: If dual panels are used, the draft value can be set individually for each panel.

14 Basic operation | S3009 Echo Sounder User Manual

Setting up the echosounder image
Setting the range
The system includes a manual and an automatic range mode.
•In manual mode, the depth range can be set independent of the depth of the water. You
can select a preset range level or define a custom range
•In auto mode, the system automatically displays the whole range from the water surface
to the bottom
ÚNote: Setting a deep manual range in shallow water may cause the system to lose track
of the depth.
Preset range levels
Select a preset range level manually by:
•using the + and - icons on the Range key
•pressing the Range softkey once, and then turning the rotary knob
Auto range
In auto range, the system automatically displays the whole range from the water surface to
the bottom.
Select Auto range by:
•pressing the Range softkey twice to display the pop-up, and then selecting the Auto
option
•pressing and holding the Range softkey to toggle the Auto option on/off
Custom range
This option allows you to manually set both upper and lower range limits.
Set a custom range by:
•pressing the Range softkey twice to display the pop-up, and then selecting the Custom
option.
ÚNote: Setting a custom range puts the system in manual range mode.
Adjusting color and gain settings
Gain
The gain controls the sensitivity. The more you increase the gain, the more details are shown
on the image. However, a higher gain setting may introduce more background clutter. If the
gain is set too low, weak echoes might not be displayed.
A manual and an automatic gain mode are available. By default, the gain is set to Auto.
Adjust the gain manually by:
•pressing the Gain softkey once, and then turning the rotary knob
Auto gain
The Auto gain option keeps the sensitivity at a level that works well under most conditions.
With the gain in auto mode, you can set a positive or negative offset that gets applied to the
auto gain.
Select Auto gain by:
•pressing the Gain softkey twice to display the pop-up, and then selecting the Auto option
•pressing and holding the Gain softkey to toggle the Auto gain option on/off
In Auto mode, the gain offset can be manually fine-tuned by turning the rotary knob. The
text within the control icon will then change from AUTO to A ± XX indicating that the auto
setting is manually adjusted.

Setting up the echosounder image | S3009 Echo Sounder User Manual 15

Color
Strong and weak signals have different colors to indicate the different signal strengths. The
colors used depend on which palette you select. The more you increase the Color setting,
the more echoes are displayed in the color at the strong return end of the scale.
To set the Color:
•press the Color softkey once, then turn the rotary knob to adjust the value.
Display time
You can change the length of the depth history shown on the display. This does not affect
already collected data, so the length of depth history shown will gradually change from the
old to the new value when changing display time.
The numeric value (A) in the lower-left corner of the panel always shows the age of the
leftmost column on the screen.
A zebra scale (B) is shown at the bottom of the image, and each stripe equals one minute.
If there is a discontinuity in the depth signal, this is indicated with a triangle (C).

Optional image items
Palettes
You can select between several display palettes.
White marker
Use this option to change a specific color on the image to white. This effectively highlights
(or hides) the selected color.
Bottom line
The bottom line option makes it easier to distinguish the bottom from other objects. You can
specify the thickness of the line.
Advanced options
Frequency
The unit supports several transducer frequencies. Available frequencies depend on the
transducer model that is configured for use.
Noise rejection
Signal interference from bilge pumps, engine vibration and air bubbles can clutter the
image.
The noise rejection option filters the signal interference and reduces the on-screen clutter.
TVG
Wave action and boat wakes can cause onscreen clutter near the surface. The TVG (Time
Variable Gain) option reduces surface clutter by decreasing the sensitivity of the receiver near
the surface.
Setting up the echosounder image | S3009 Echo Sounder User Manual

Ping speed
Ping speed controls the rate the transducer transmits the signal into the water. By default,
the ping speed is set to max. It may be necessary to adjust the ping speed to limit
interference.

Panel setup
Selecting transducer source
Depth data can be obtained from more than one transducer connected to the system. Refer
to "Systemexamples" on page 26.
Select the transducer to be shown in a panel from the View menu.
Split screen options
Dual
The dual split option allows for viewing signals from two transducers at the same time.
When the function is selected, use the orientation option (A) to select if the panels shall be
arranged on top of each other or side-by-side.
Gain and color icons (B) are displayed on dual panels.
Press the rotary knob to switch focus between the panels. Active panel is indicated with a
border.
Zoom
The split Zoom mode presents a magnified view of the sounder image on the left side of the
panel.
By default, the zoom level is set to 2x, and you can increase this up to 8x.
Change the zoom level by pressing the Zoom softkey and then turning the rotary knob.
Zoom bars (A) are available from the View menu. The bars indicate the range that is
magnified and displayed on the left side.

18 Panel setup | S3009 Echo Sounder User Manual

Bottom lock
The bottom lock mode is useful when you want to view echoes close to the bottom. In this
mode, the left side of the panel shows an image where the bottom is flattened. The range
scale is changed to measure from the seabed (0) and upwards. The bottom and the zero line
are always shown on the left image, independent of the range scale. The scaling factor for
the image on the left side of the panel is adjusted as described for the Zoom option.
Show or hide the softkey bar
By default, the softkey bar is displayed on the panel.
Select the hide menu option to immediately hide the softkey bar. Pressing any softkey re-
displays the softkey bar.
Auto hide the softkey bar
Selecting the auto hide option will hide the softkey bar after a few seconds of no softkey
activity. Pressing any softkey re-displays the softkey bar.
Edit the content of the Instrument bar
The data types shown in the instrument bar gauges can be changed.
To select a gauge for editing:
