DEPTH LINES
The Z-9500 can
print depth
lines across the screen to make it easier for
you
to determine a
target's depth.

KEEL OFFSET
NOTE: The keel offset affects the
digital
sonar
only.
It does not
change
the
graph
scales.
Negative
Keel Onset
Many
times the transducer is not installed in the lowest
portion
of the
hull. Therefore,
portions
of the hull are
deeper
in the water than the
transducer.
This
poses
a
problem,
since
you
could
run
aground
when
the sonar unit is
showing
an
adequate
water
depth.
Most sonar units
(including
the
Z-9500)
read water
depth
from the face of the trans-
ducer.
However,
the Z-9500
gives you
an solution: Keel Offset.
Measuring
the
distance between
the lowest
part
of
the boat and the face
of the
transducer,
then
inputting
this value into the
Z-9500,
lets
you compen-
sate for the
depth
of the
boat.
The offset or correction in micro-seconds is shown for each
secondary
in the chain. Press the
key adjacent
to the station's letter that
you
wish
to
change
the TD offset. For this
example,
the
key
next to the "X" label
was
pressed.
The screen shown below
appears
next.

Now enter the desired TO offset. After
entering
the
values,
press
the
key adjacent
to the "Clear" label. The Z-9500 returns to the screen at

of this
page.
When the offsets for the stations have been
entered,
press
the

next to the "Enter label. The Z-9500 returns to
thte last used loran
