3.2 Установка преобразователя

The SplitShot Skimmer Transducer is crucial for sonar functionality. Proper placement is essential for optimal performance. It should be mounted in a location with minimal turbulence and clear water flow.

1. Крепление на транце: The most common installation for the SplitShot transducer is on the transom of the boat. Ensure the transducer face is submerged and clear of obstructions like propellers or strakes.
2. Прокладка кабеля: Проложите кабель преобразователя вдали от источников электрических помех и закрепите его, чтобы предотвратить повреждение.
3. Связь: Connect the transducer cable to the corresponding port on the back of the HOOK Reveal unit.

3.3 Подключение питания

Connect the power cable to a 12V DC power source on your boat. Ensure the fuse and fuse holder are correctly installed in the positive (+) line of the power cable to protect the unit from power surges.

• Подсоедините красный провод к положительной (+) клемме аккумулятора.
• Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the battery or a suitable ground point.
• Убедитесь, что все соединения надежно закреплены и водонепроницаемы.

4.2 Sonar Modes: CHIRP, DownScan, and FishReveal

Your HOOK Reveal unit utilizes advanced sonar technologies to provide clear views of fish and underwater structure.

• ЧИП-сонар: Provides excellent target separation, making fish easier to identify. It uses a range of frequencies to create a clearer, more detailed image of the water column.

• DownScan Imaging: Offers high-resolution images of structure below your boat, allowing you to distinguish between different types of underwater features like brush piles, rocks, and ledges.
• FishReveal: This feature combines the target separation of CHIRP sonar with the high-resolution structure views of DownScan Imaging. Fish targets "light up" on the display, making them easier to distinguish from structure.
