5.4.5 Setting the frequency
Screen display: F
Factory default value: Auto
The frequency at which the transmitter operates is automatically chosen by the microprocessor
to ensure optimum signal size and performance.
“Auto” sets the frequency to obtain the best echo size and optimum performance. The actual
frequency being used by the transmitter can be viewed in diagnostics (see page 46).
The limits of operating frequency are a function of the intrinsic properties of the transmitter
itself, and may be set to operate at any frequency between
49 and 58 kHz.
The transmit frequency affects the quality of the echo being received, which may be used to
improve a poor echo or reduce the quality of a false echo.
Note
This menu option is in the engineering menu “Eng”. See “Accessing the engineering
menu” on page 49 or see Figure C-3 on page 79 for a map of the menu structure.
