For maximum benefit, please read this manual carefully before installation and use. This manual describes how to install and set up the FISH 4500/4600 and the associated dual-The FISH 4500/4600 is a high quality, dual- frequency sonar fishfinder that is supplied with a dual-frequency transducer. It uses TFT (Thin Film Transistor) technology to provide a color display for easy daylight viewing that can be dimmed for night fishing. The bracket mounting option also allows the fishfinder to be tilted and swivelled for optimum colors on the sonar displays are customiz-able, with a choice of four 16 color palettes and one 8 color palette.

6 The colors represent differ-ent signal strengths, making the sonar displays easy to interpret. The dual frequency capability enables the FISH 4500/4600 to operate and display: At a high frequency of 200 kHz. At a low frequency of 50 kHz. Both frequencies side-by-side on a split dis-play. Both frequencies combined together into a single display. This capability, combined with a variable power output of up to 600 W RMS, ensures that the FISH 4500/4600 operates effectively in shallow and deep FISH 4500/4600 can detect the bottom to a depth of 2000 feet (600 metres) depending on the clarity of the water, the ultrasonic frequency chosen and the type of transducer navman fishfinder can be used to find fish, to locate features on the bottom such as reefs or wrecks and to help recognize favourite fishing spots from the bottom profile. 1-1 Benefits of the FISH 4500/4600 ImportantIt is vital to the performance of the fishfinder that the transducer is installed in the best location.

7 Please follow the installation instructions very manual also explains how to operate the FISH 4500/4600 effectively and provides trou-bleshooting information and performance tips. The navman fishfinder can also assist with navigation by providing depth information to help identify the depth contours marked on charts. The FISH 4500/4600 is particularly suited to work with the TRACKER 5500/5600 - navman s color display GPS chartplotter with worldwide coverage. The two instruments can be connected together using either NavBus or NMEA, so they can share NOTE ON USE. While any fishfinder can be used as an aid to navigation, accuracy can be limited by many factors, includ-ing the location of the transducer. It is the user s responsibility to ensure the navman fishfinder is installed and used the optional fuel kit, the FISH 4500/4600 also becomes a sophisticated and easy-to-use fuel of the navman 4000 Series fishfinders use new proprietary SBN-II Technology for sonar processing to improve Signal enhancement, Bottom recognition and Noise rejection.

8 SBN-II Technology uses digital adaptive filter algorithms to enhance all returned signals. At the same time, SBN-II Technology uses active noise control to reject interference, which can often be mistaken by fishfinders for true returns. Using SBN-II Technology, the navman fishfinder analyses the reflections from each pulse, filters false returns and displays what is in the water under the boat. See section 4-1 Interpreting the display, for more transom transducer. (If a through hull transducer is used, refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with that transducer.) 1 IntroductionFISH 4500/4600 Installation and Operation Manual4 navman 1-2 How the FISH 4500/4600 worksThe FISH 4500/4600 has two parts:- the transducer attached to the hull- the display transducer generates an ultrasonic pulse (sound that is above the hearing range of the human ear), which travels down towards the bottom at a speed of about 4800 ft/sec (1463 m/sec), spreading out into a cone the pulse meets an object, such as a fish or the bottom, it is partly reflected back up towards the boat as an echo.

9 The depth of the object or bottom is calculated by the FISH 4500/4600 by measuring the time taken between sending a pulse and receiving the echo. When an echo has been returned, the next pulse is FISH 4500/4600 converts each echo into an electronic signal, displayed as a vertical line of pixels. The most recent echo appears on the extreme right of the display, with the older echoes being scrolled towards the left, eventually disap-pearing off the display. The scroll speed depends upon the water depth and scroll speed setting. See section 3-2 Setup > Sonar and section 4-1 Interpreting the display, for more information. The appearance of echoes displayed are af-fected by: the fishfinder settings (frequency selected, range and gain settings) echoes (different fish types, different bot-tom types, wrecks and seaweed) noise (water clarity and bubbles).
