Funcionamento do transdutor
Once installed and connected, the transducer works in conjunction with your Lowrance fish finder to provide accurate depth readings, fish detection, and water temperature data.
Dual Frequency Operation
The transducer operates at dual frequencies: 50KHz and 200KHz. The 200KHz frequency provides excellent detail and target separation in shallower waters, while the 50KHz frequency offers deeper penetration for offshore or deeper water fishing.
Ángulos do feixe
With beam angles of 35° and 12°, the transducer provides a wide coverage area for detecting fish and underwater structures, enhancing your ability to locate productive fishing spots.
Sensor de temperatura
The built-in temperature sensor provides real-time water temperature readings, which can be a critical factor in locating fish.

Mantemento
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your transducer.
- Limpeza: Periodically clean the transducer's surface with mild soap and water to remove marine growth, dirt, or oil. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the transducer face.
- Inspección: Regularly inspect the transducer cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Ensure the mounting hardware is secure and free from corrosion.
- Invernización: If storing your boat in freezing temperatures, ensure the transducer is either removed or protected from ice formation, which can cause damage.
Resolución de problemas
If you experience issues with your transducer, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Sen lectura de profundidade: Check all cable connections for security. Ensure the transducer is properly submerged and free from air bubbles or obstructions. Verify the fish finder unit is powered on and configured correctly.
- Lecturas inexactas: Ensure the transducer is mounted correctly and not experiencing turbulence. Check for any interference from other electronic devices. Adjust the sensitivity settings on your fish finder.
- Lecturas intermitentes: Inspect the cable for damage or loose connections. Ensure the power supply to the fish finder is stable.
If problems persist, consult the full fish finder manual or contact Lowrance customer support.
