TRANSDUCER SELECTION
Lowrance offers
you
the choice
of transducers with
either an 8 or
20
degree
cone
angle
that will
interchange
with
any
of our 192
kHz sonar units. In other
words,
any
Lowrance
sonar instrument
can be used with
any
Lowrance
transducer of the same
frequency
without
retuning
of
any kind,
and
no loss of
performance. However,
the use of
any
other manufac-
turer's transducer will result in a
loss of
performance.
Now
you
can select the trans-
ducer
design
and cone
angle
to
best fit
your
specific
needs. Gen-
erally,
wide cone
angle
transdu-
cers
(20
degrees)
are
ideally
suited for
operating
in shallow
water or at medium
depths.
The
20
degree
cone
angle
allows
you
to see more of the underwater
world. In 15 feet of water the 20
degree
cone covers an area of
the
bottom thath about 6 feet across.
The 8
degree
transducer covers
only
about a 2 foot circle.

The
chart below
gives
the
range
of
the
Paper

amount that
each level slows
the
paper.
To
enable the
Paper

function, simply press
the level of

desired,
then
2nd,
then 6. The
paper
should slow
immediately.
For
example,
suppose you
wish to
slow the
paper
down to 1/4 its

speed.
Press 3

times slower than its
previous
speed.
When the
Paper

is
enabled,
the X-16 will
print
PSV=

that
you
selected. For
example,
in
our
previous
example
the

3. The X-1 6 will
print
PSV=3 on the
bottom line of
the chart

PRINT INTENSITY
Three levels of
print intensity
are
provided
for different conditions.
The
stylus printing
can be
adjusted
to
print lighter
or darker
by using
the Print
Intensity
mode.
When the X-16 leaves the
factory,
the Print
Intensity
is set to level 1.
To
change
this
setting,
press
the
level of
intensity
desired,
from 0 to
2
(0
is
lightest,
2 is
darkest)
and
then

if the

This feature is useful when a
stylus

By
using

the
printing
can
improve. If,
when
