Please read the manual carefully in order to understand the full capabilities of your model. v How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 SeriesTM Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object. Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal. SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam. The sound pulses "echo" back from objects in the water such as the bottom, fish, and other submerged objects. The returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a new echo is received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a scrolling effect. 1 How Sonar Works When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret "graph" of the bottom, fish, and structure appears. The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability. The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods: · Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle. · Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points. The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise, better high speed performance and enhanced depth capability. How Sonar Works 2 DualBeam PLUSTM Sonar Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUSTM sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUSTM 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. DualBeam PLUSTM sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately, or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUSTM is ideal for a wide range of conditions from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation. 3 How Sonar Works QuadraBeam PLUSTM Sonar (with optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUSTM transducer) 35° 455 kHz 60° 20° 200 kHz 35° 455 kHz 83 kHz 90° Total Coverage Bottom Coverage = 2 x Depth Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System also supports QuadraBeam PLUSTM sonar with the purchase of an additional QuadraBeam PLUSTM transducer. QuadraBeam PLUSTM sonar provides an extremely wide 90° area of coverage. QuadraBeam PLUSTM starts with two fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side Structure locating sonar beams to spot fish, bait, and structure to the left and right of the boat over an area of the bottom that's always equal to twice your depth. For a detailed view below the boat, QuadraBeam PLUSTM uses DualBeam PLUSTM technology, with precision 20° and wide 60° beams. QuadraBeam PLUSTM finds more fish faster and can even tell you where to put your bait by showing if fish are to the left, right, or directly beneath your boat. How Sonar Works 4 WideSide® Sonar (with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer) Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System also supports WideSide® sonar with the purchase of an additional WideSide® transducer. The WideSide® transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer that is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The WideSide® transducer uses three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right, and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24° area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are 455 kHz with a 16° area of coverage. The side-looking elements can be used independently or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat. Universal Sonar 2 (compatible w/ optional-purchase Minnkota trolling motors) Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-theart, integrated and protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of Minnkota trolling motors. With Universal Sonar 2, all wiring is concealed inside the indestructible composite shaft--out of sight and out of harm's way, with no clamps, ties, or exposed wires. Universal Sonar 2 features new temperature sensing and the performance of DualBeam PLUSTM technology (available with all Humminbird® DualBeam PLUSTM models). An expanded view and greater bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water below, along with optimal sonar performance to help you find fish. 5 How Sonar Works What's On the Sonar Display The 700 SeriesTM Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow. Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the Fishing System can display the speed of the boat and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled. Temperature - water surface temperature. Timer - Elapsed time with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Distance - Distance traveled with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Average Speed - Average speed reading with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Second Sonar Return - when the sonar signal bounces between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all. Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth on the display and the depth of the bottom directly below the cursor. The Latitude and Longitude of the cursor position, the distance to travel to the cursor position, and the bearing to the cursor position is shown with a GPS receiver. A waypoint can be marked at the cursor position for later retrieval and use with a GPS receiver. NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either device information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view. What's On the Sonar Display 6 the area under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items: Bait Ball Thermoclines - layers of water with different temperatures that appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of gray levels moving across the display at the same depth. Fish - the Fishing System displays fish as arches and/or fish icons, and can be set to alarm when a fish of a certain size is detected. When a target is detected, a Fish ID+TM symbol appears on the display with the depth displayed above it. The size of the symbol indicates the intensity of the sonar return. The unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed. Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can be positioned in the Sonar View to provide depth of a sonar return and bottom depth below the cursor. RTS (Real Time Sonar) WindowTM Structure - where fish may be hiding. is connected to the 700 SeriesTM Fishing System. If both devices are connected, then only the 7 What's On the Sonar Display Understanding the Sonar Display It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does not show a literal 3dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected, not exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects shown on the display. The returned sonar echoes are displayed on the screen. As a new echo is received, the historical data scrolls across the screen. What's On the Sonar Display 8 Real Time Sonar (RTSTM) Window ) A Real Time Sonar (RTSTM) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The RTS WindowTM updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure, and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS WindowTM plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu Tab: RTS WindowTM). The Narrow RTS WindowTM indicates the sonar intensity through the use of grayscale. The grayscale used matches the Bottom View grayscale setting (Inverse, StructureID®, WhiteLineTM, Bottom Black). The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS WindowTM indicates the sonar intensity through the use of a bar graph. The length of the plotted return indicates whether the return is weak or strong. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS WindowTM does not use grayscale. 9 What's On the Sonar Display Freeze Frame and Active Cursor Freeze Frame & Active Cursor - Press any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key, and the screen will freeze and a cursor will be displayed. Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to move the cursor over a sonar return, and the depth of the sonar return will be displayed at the bottom of the screen in the cursor information box. Instant Image Update - You can change a variety of sonar menu settings (such as Sensitivity or Upper Range), and the adjustments will be shown instantly on the screen. When combined with the Freeze Frame feature, you can adjust and see the effects of many different sonar settings quickly and easily. The RTS WindowTM continues to update in Freeze Frame. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame, and the display will start to scroll. Freeze Frame is available in the Sonar, Sonar Zoom, and 200/83 kHz Split Sonar Views. What's On the Sonar Display 10 Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance. Bottom Contour Profile with RTS WindowTM Hard Bottom Soft Bottom Rocky Bottom The sonar returns from the bottom, structure, and fish can be represented as either Inverse, Structure ID®, WhiteLineTM, or Black (Bottom Black). See Sonar X-PressTM Menu: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view. 11 What's On the Sonar Display Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display. Structure ID® represents weak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that strong returns will be clearly visible on the display. WhiteLineTM highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display. Black (Bottom Black) displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength. This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and other sonar returns on the display. What's On the Sonar Display 12 Views The sonar information from your Fishing System is displayed on your screen in a variety of easy-to-read views. There are many views available on your Fishing System. When you press the VIEW key, the display cycles through the available views on your screen. When you press the EXIT key, the display cycles through the available views in reverse order. When you first power up the control head, Sonar View will be the default view. You can display and hide any view to suit your fishing preferences.
