USING ALTERNATIVE
TRANSDUCERS
Wide side operation
The Wide Side Transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer that is
extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The
Wide Side transducer uses three
different sonar elements that
transmit signals to the left, right and
straight down from your boat. The
downward beam is 200 kHz with a
24 degree area of coverage. This
beam maintains a continuous digital
depth readout from the bottom
directly beneath your boat. The side
beams are 455 kHz with a 16 degree
area of coverage. The side-looking
elements can be used independently,
or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of
your boat.
The Wide Side transducer can be connectedly directly to the 450TX or used
in conjunction with the standard transducer through a transducer switch.
When used with a switch in conjunction with the Tri-Beam transducer, the
450TX recognizes which transducer is connected whenever the switch
position is changed.
