How Sonar W orks Sonar technology is based on sound wav es. The 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly belo w the transducer .
2 When all the echoes ar e viewed side by side, an easy to interpret "graph" of the bottom, fish and structure appears. The sound pulses ar e transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. V ery high frequencies (455 kHz) are used f or greatest definition but the operating depth is limited.
3 Single Beam Sonar Y our Humminbird® 515, 525 or 535 Fishfinder uses a 200 kHz single beam sonar system with a 20° area of cov erage. Depth capability is affected by such f actors as boat speed, wa ve action, bottom hardness, wa ter conditions and transducer installation.
4 QuadraBeam PL US™ Sonar (575 Fishfinders only) Y our Humminbird® 575 Fishfinder supports QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar . QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar pro vides an extremely wide 90° area of cov erage.
5 What’s On the Displa y The 500 Series™ F ishfinder can display a variety of useful informa tion about NO TE: Entries in this view that list (with T emp/Speed) are av ailable only if the optional-purchase Timer - elapsed time with T emp/Speed Accessory .
6 the area under and adjacent to your boa t, including the following items: device is connected to the Fishfinder . Battery V oltage - the voltage of the boat’s battery; can be set to alarm if the voltage falls below a certain point.
7 Vi ew s The vie ws available on your F ishfinder are: Sonar views: • Sonar Vie w • Zoom Vie w • 200/83 kHz Split Sonar Vie w (575 Fishfinder only) • Big Digits Vie w • Side Beam Vie w (575 Fishfinder only).

Sonar V iew Sonar V iew presents a historical log of sonar r eturns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts f or temperature and speed ar e automatically displa yed if the appropriate accessory is connected.
9 Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the display . T he display does NO T show a literal 3-dimensional representa tion of what is under the water .
10 Bottom Presentation As the boat mov es, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour . T he type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display . A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appear s as a thinner line across the display .
11 Inver se is a method where weak returns ar e shown with dark p ix els and strong returns with lighter pixels. T his has the benefit of ensuring that w eak signals will be clearly visible on the display . Structure ID® r epresents weak returns as light pixels and str ong returns as dark pixels.
12 WhiteLine® highlights the str ongest sonar returns in white, resulting in a distinctive outline. T his has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display . Bottom Black displays all pixels belo w the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength.
13 Sonar Zoom V iew Sonar Zoom V iew increases the display ed resolution to separate sonar r eturns that are v ery close together , such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom V iew , the display is split to sho w a narrow slice of the full r ange view on the right and the zoomed view on the left.
200/83 kHz Split Sonar V iew (575 Fishfinders only) Split Sonar V iew displays sonar returns fr om the 83 kHz wide beam on the left side of the screen and displays sonar r eturns from the 200 kHz narrow beam on the right side of the screen and is only av ailable on the 575 Fishfinder .
15 Big Digits V iew Big Digits V iew provides digital da ta in a large, easy-to-see f ormat. Depth is always displa yed. Readouts for tempera ture, speed and T riplog information ar e displayed automa tically if the appropriate accessory is connected to the system.
Side Beam V iew (575 Fishfinders only) Side Beam V iew shows sonar informa tion from both the left and right 455 kHz beams and the 200 kHz down-looking beam in one view and is only a vailable on the 575 Fishfinder .

66 Grayscale, In verse: In ver se Grayscale is a Humminbir d® feature tha t re verses the correlation of sonar signal str ength and the shade of gray typically used to represent it. T he strongest sonar signals are r epresented b y "white", and progressiv ely weaker signals are r epresented in pr ogressively dark er shades of gray .
67 Hydrodynamic noise can be ov ercome by proper tr ansducer installation. Man y Humminbird® products ha ve a Noise Filter menu setting that allo ws the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to elimina te. Pixels: Pixels are the "picture elements", or small square blocks, tha t make up the image on the LCD.
68 QuadraBeam PLUS™: Quadr aBeam PLUS™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration tha t uses four sonar beams for a more detailed bottom image. QuadraBeam™ uses the DualBeam PLUS™ configur ation for downlooking, and also adds two additional beams to look to the left and right.
69 Sensitivity: Sensitivity is a user fea ture that adjusts the sensitivity of the sonar system to show more or less detail in the w ater . Higher sensitivities are often preferr ed, howev er , when the water contains debris (silt, storm debris, etc.) and it can be difficult to pick out targets.
70 Structure: Structure is a general term for objects on the bottom tha t present a discontinuity and are a likely a ttractor for fish. T his includes bottom contour featur es (drop-offs, humps, and holes), standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush piles) and a wide range of other potential objects (sunken boa ts, reefs).
71 new range, and the old sonar inf ormation would continue to scroll off the scr een at the old range. T ransducer: T he transducer is part of the sonar system, which mounts on the boat and is in contact with the wa ter , that con verts the electrical energy fr om the transmitter into sound energy , and that forms the sonar beam in turn.
72 V iewing Angle: Vie wing Angle is an attribute of an LCD tha t characterizes visibility of the display when viewing fr om off the central access, such as when standing to the side of the fishfinder . Wider vie wing angles are better because the information r emains visible even when viewing fr om the side.
