531526-1_A - 747c_&_777c2_Man_Eng.qxp 10/2/2006 1:40 AM Page 6 How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 700 Series™ 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 ref

531526-1_A - 747c_&_777c2_Man_Eng.qxp 10/2/2006 1:40 AM Page 7 The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83kHz) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability. The power output is the amount of en

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. The 20° center beam is focused on the bottom, to show you structure, weeds and co

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 p
