5. Instrucións de funcionamento
The Active Imaging 3-In-1 Transducer combines multiple sonar technologies to provide a comprehensive view do ambiente subacuático.
5.1 Sonar Frequencies and Modes
- Med/High CHIRP: Provides traditional sonar views for fish arches and bottom tracking.
- SideScan: Offers wide, high-resolution views of structure and fish to the sides of your boat.
- DownScan: Delivers picture-like views of structure and fish directly below your boat.
Refer to your Lowrance display unit's manual for detailed instructions on selecting and optimizing these sonar modes.
6. Mantemento
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your transducer.
- Limpeza: Periodically clean the transducer face with mild soap and water to remove marine growth, dirt, or oil. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspección: Regularly inspect the transducer cable for cuts, kinks, or damage. Check the mounting bracket for looseness or corrosion.
- Invernización: If operating in freezing conditions, ensure the transducer is not exposed to ice formation, which can cause damage.
7 Solución de problemas
