2 How Sonar W orks Sonar technology is based on sound wav es. The 500 Series™ F ishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structur e, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the tr ansducer .
3 How Sonar W orks When all the e choes are view ed side by side, an easy to interpret “gr aph“ of the bottom, fish, and structure appear s. The sou nd pu ls es are t rans mi tte d at var iou s frequencies depending on the applica tion. V ery high frequencies (455 kHz) ar e used for grea test definition but the opera ting depth is limited.
4 DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar (DualBeam PLUS™ models only [587ci HD, 597ci HD]) Y our 587ci HD/597ci HD Fishfinder uses a 20 0/8 3 kH z Du al Be am PL US™ so na r sy st em wi th a wi de ( 60° ) ar e a of c ov era ge .
