Lowrance electronic X-16 Marine GPS System User Manual


 
SURFACE
CLUTTER
Algae,
plankton,
air
bubbles,
boat
wakes,
and schools of bait fish
near the
surface of the water
can create
large
surface echoes
on the
paper.
These echoes can extend
far
down the
paper
and
interfere with
fish or
other
target
echoes.
Lowrance
has a
special
feature
called
"Surface
Clarity
Control" or
"5CC"
that combats surface
clutter
effectively.
THERMOCLINE
Junction of dif-
ferent
temperature
layers.
When
the warm and
cool
temperature
layers meet,
a
discontinuity
in the
water is formed that
reflects sonar
signals.
This is
called a thermo-
dine.
TRANSDUCER The "antenna"
of
a sonar unit.
This contains a small.
crystal
that
converts the electrical
energy
from
the transducer into
sound
energy
and
sends it into
the water. It then
converts
any
sound in its
frequency range
back
into electrical
pulses
for the
receiver. Transducers
have a van-
ety
of
styles
including
"Thru-Hull"
which bolt thru a hole
drilled in the
hull,
"Shoot-Thru-Hull"
epoxied
directly
to
the inside of a
solid
fiberglass
hull with no holes
required,
and "Transom
Mount"
bolts
directly
to the transom of
the
hull,
either
below or flush with the
bottom of
the boat.
TRANSPORT
ASSEMBLY The
mechanism that
holds and
pulls
the
chart
paper
from the full
paper
roll,
past
the
stylus,
and rolls it
up
on
the
takeup
side. It
also con-
tains the
paper
drive
motor and
gear
train.
