How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder 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.

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

DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar (DualBeam PLUS™ models only [586c HD, 596c HD]) Your 586c HD/596c HD Fishfinder uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. 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. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately, or compared side- by-sid

Down Imaging™ Sonar (Down Imaging™ models only [596c HD DI, XNT 9-DI-T Transducer]) Your 596c HD DI Fishfinder uses Down Imaging™ technology. The Down 45° 800kHz Imaging™ transducer scans the water with 75° 455kHz razor-thin, high-definition beams. The 16° 455kHz beams are wide (side to side) but very thin 25° front to back. 200kHz The Down Imaging™ beams can be 75 Degree Total Coverage operated at two frequencies: 455 kHz (75°) or 800 kHz (45°). Select 455 kHz for the best overall image qualit

Dual Beam Ice Transducer Ice transducer (optional-purchase XI 9 20 Ice Transducer only) Your Fishfinder supports the optional-purchase XI 9 20 Ice Transducer, which provides selectable dual-frequency sonar with a wide area of coverage. Selectable dual-frequency gives you the option of two beams, and both beams will cover the bottom and provide high definition. The 20° center beam provides the highest definition, while the 60° beam provides wider coverage. Depth capability is affected by such fac

When a target is detected, a Fish ID+™ symbol appears on the display with the depth displayed above it. The size of the symbol indicates the intensity of the sonar return.

Understanding the Sonar Display It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does not show a literal 3- dimensional 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 e

SwitchFire™ SwitchFire™ controls how the sonar returns are displayed in the Sonar Views. SwitchFire™ settings are available in the Sonar Menu Tab. To see the maximum sonar information available within the transducer beam so more fish arches and better jig tracking are shown, choose Max Mode. To see less clutter and more fish size accuracy interpreted from the transducer beam, choose Clear Mode. See Sonar Menu Tab: SwitchFire™ for more information.

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 Window™ Rocky Bottom Soft Bot
