About the sensitivity setting
・ Note that improper gain settings may result in incorrect depth measurement.
・ The reflection from sea bottom is different according to the condition of sea bottom. The reflection weakens
like sand and mud, etc. though a strong reflection returns like the bedrock.
・ It becomes impossible to recognize sea bottom when the reflection is weak and the depth value might not be
displayed. For this case, bottom of the sea is displayed in red by raising sensitivity. However, dirt and the
plankton, etc. in the sea are mistaken when sensitivity is raised too much for sea bottom, it recognizes, and a
wrong depth value might be displayed.
・ As for the setting of sensitivity, extent to which sea bottom is displayed by a red or an orange color is proper.
Note
・ When setting to an auto gain, the STC curve becomes “LONG" regardless of the setting of STC.
Sensitivity is too low.
When sea bottom is a
ed or an
orange color, the display
sensitivity is proper.
Sensitivity is too high.
