ForwardScan
ForwardScan sonar is a navigational aid that helps you monitor the underwater environment
in front of your vessel while carrying out slow speed maneuvers.
To use the ForwardScan feature you must have a ForwardScan transducer mounted on your
vessel. For installation instructions, refer to the ForwardScan transducer installation manual.
The ForwardScan transducer can be connected to a SonarHub and shared over the Ethernet
network. You can also connect the ForwardScan transducer to the Sonar2 port on your NSS
evo3 unit, leaving the Sonar1 port available for a CHIRP transducer.
Ú
Note: When a ForwardScan transducer connected to the NSS evo3 is in use. Transducers
connected to Sonar1 port will be paused.
Warning: Do not rely on this equipment as your principle source of
navigation or hazard detection.
Warning: Do not use this equipment to gauge depth or other conditions
for swimming or diving.
