How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The Matrix Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your Matrix Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object. Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal. Your Matrix Fishing System will either have Single Beam, DualBeam PLUS or QuadraBeam sonar. Find the correct sonar description that applies to your unit.

Single Beam Sonar

Your Matrix 10, 12 or 20 uses a 200 kHz single beam sonar system with a 20 area of coverage. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation.

DualBeam PLUS Sonar

Your Matrix 17 or 27 uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS sonar system with a wide (60) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation.

QuadraBeam Sonar

Your Matrix 37 Fishing System uses QuadraBeamTM sonar. QuadraBeamTM sonar provides an extremely wide 90 area of coverage. QuadraBeamTM starts with two kHz beams for a continuous 90 of uninterrupted side to side coverage to 160 feet. These Side Structure locating beams reveal fish and structure to the left and right of your boat near the bottom. For structure directly below your boat, QuadraBeamTM uses DualBeamPLUS technology.

Whats On the Display

The Matrix Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area
Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow. Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the Matrix can display the speed of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled. Temperature - water surface temperature. Timer - elapsed time with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Distance - distance traveled with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Average Speed - average speed reading with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can depth of a sonar return and bottom depth
under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items:
be positioned in the Sonar View to provide below the cursor. 83 kHz, Wide Beam Hollow Fish Symbol (DualBeam PLUS Units Only) Structure - where fish may be hiding. Fish - fish are displayed as arches and/or fish icons, and the unit can be set to alarm when a fish of a certain size is detected. When a target is detected and Fish ID+ is on, a Fish ID+TM symbol with depth is displayed. The size of the symbol shows the intensity of the sonar return. The unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed. 200 kHz, Narrow Beam Shaded Fish Symbol Thermoclines - layers of water with different temperatures that appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of many gray levels moving across the display at the same depth.

Bait Ball Hard Bottom Rocky Bottom
Second Sonar Return - when the sonar signal bounces between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all.

The views available on your Matrix Fishing System are: Sonar View Zoom View 200/83 kHz Split Sonar View (DualBeam PLUS and QuadraBeamTM Only) Big Digits View Side Beam View (QuadraBeamTM Only). Sonar View is the default view. When the VIEW key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views. When the EXIT key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views in reverse order. Any view can be hidden or displayed as part of the view rotation using Select View from the Advanced Setup Menu.
NOTE: When you change any menu settings that affect the sonar, the view will update immediately (i.e. you dont have to exit the menu to apply the change to the screen). For instance, by switching between "Inverse" and "Structure ID" from the X-PressTM Menu it is possible to quickly alternate between the two viewing methods.

NOTE: If the Depth number is flashing, it means that the unit is having trouble locating the bottom. This usually happens if the water is too deep, the transducer is out of the water, the boat is moving too fast, or for any other reason that the unit cant accurately receive continuous data.
Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar X-PressTM Menu). Either five or six additional Digital Readouts (depending on your model) display information from optional-purchase accessories. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Setup Menu Tab, Select Readouts).

200/83 kHz Split Sonar View
(DualBeam PLUS and QuadraBeam Only) Split Sonar View displays sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam on the left side of the screen and displays sonar returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam on the right side of the screen. Depth is always displayed in the upper left hand corner. You can use the Split Sonar View to make side by side comparisons between the sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam and the 200 kHz narrow beam. The digital readouts in the Split Sonar View cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are unavailable in the Split Sonar View.

Depth Upper Depth Range

Big Digits View
Big Digits View provides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature, speed and Triplog information are displayed automatically if the appropriate accessory is connected to the system. The Triplog shows distance traveled, average speed, and time elapsed since the Triplog was last reset. The digital readouts in the Big Digits View cannot be customized.

Side Beam View

(QuadraBeam Only) Side Beam View shows sonar information from both the left and right kHz beams and the 200 kHz down-looking beam in one view. The top portion of the display presents a historical log of sonar returns from the 200 kHz down-looking sonar. The bottom portion of the display presents a historical log of sonar returns from the 455 kHz right- and left-looking sonar. New information appears at the top, and scrolls down the display in the 455 kHz Windows. The sonar information from the side-looking beams reveal bottom contour, structure and fish similar to the down-looking beam, but the area covered is to the left and right of the area shown in the down-looking portion so you actually see more of the bottom. The distance covered by the right and left 90 beams is based on the depth setting for the down-looking beam, up to a maximum of 160 feet.

NOTE: Beam Select does not affect the Side Beam View. The Side Beam View will continue to display sonar returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam in the upper frame and returns from the 455 kHz side beams in the two lower frames irrespective of the Beam Select setting.

Fish ID+TM

Fish ID+TM uses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar returns, and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has been classified as being a fish. Three different fish size icons represent the intensity of the sonar return, and provide an indicator of relative fish size. Single beam sonar models represent targets as Shaded Fish Symbols. DualBeam PLUS sonar models represent targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam as Shaded Fish Symbols, and represent targets detected in the 83 kHz wide beam as Hollow Fish Symbols. QuadraBeamTM sonar models represent targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam as Shaded Fish Symbols, and represent targets detected in the 83 kHz wide beam as Hollow Fish Symbols. In addition, targets detected in the 455 kHz side beams are represented with Hollow Fish Symbols.
200 kHz, Narrow Beam Shaded Fish Symbols
83 kHz, Wide Beam and 455 kHz Side Beam Hollow Fish Symbols (DualBeam PLUS and QuadraBeamTM Only)
To use Beam Select: 1. Highlight Beam Select on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to select either the 200 kHz beam, the 83kHz beam or the 200/83kHz beams. (200/83 kHz, 200 kHz, 83 kHz, Default = 200 kHz)
When Fish ID+TM is turned off, the Fishing System shows only the raw sonar returns on the display. These returns will often result in "arches" forming on the display, indicating potential targets. Due to the transducer beam angle, the distance to a fish Transducer Cone and Fish Arches decreases as the fish moves into the beam, and then increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance change is shown on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish within the sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch. To turn Fish ID+ on or off: 1. Highlight Fish ID+ on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to turn the Fish ID+TM setting On or Off. (Off, On, Default = Off)

Fish Sensitivity

Fish Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the Fish ID+ detection algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to be displayed as fish. This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Selecting a lower setting displays fewer fish from weak sonar returns. This is helpful when seeking larger species of fish. Fish Sensitivity is used in conjunction with Fish ID+TM. Fish ID+TM must be On for Fish Sensitivity to affect the ability of the Fishing System to identify sonar returns as fish. To change the Fish Sensitivity setting: 1. Highlight Fish Sensitivity on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Fish Sensitivity setting. (Low = 1, High = 10, Default = 5)

Noise Filter

(Advanced) Noise Filter adjusts the sonar Noise Filter to limit interference on the display from sources such as your boat engine, turbulence, or other sonar devices. The Noise Filter menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode).
NOTE: The Off setting removes all filtering; Low, Medium and High settings add progressive filtering of the sonar returns. In some deep water situations, the High setting may actually hinder your units ability to find the bottom.

Water Type

(Advanced) Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. The Water Type menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode).
NOTE: In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this. Also, make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water, as this affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings.
To change the Noise Filter setting: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Noise Filter on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Noise Filter setting. (Off, Low, Medium, High, Default = Low)
To change the Water Type setting: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Water Type on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Water Type setting. (Fresh, Salt, Default = Fresh)

Max Depth

(Advanced) Max Depth adjusts the maximum depth of operation. The performance of your Fishing System can be tuned to the maximum depth you will be fishing in by setting the Max Depth. When a maximum depth is set, your Fishing System will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth, thus increasing overall performance. When Max Depth is set to Auto, the Fishing System will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of the unit). If the bottom is deeper than the Max Depth setting, the digital depth readout will flash, indicating that the Fishing System cannot locate the bottom. The Max Depth menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode). To change the Max Depth setting: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Max Depth on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Max Depth setting. (AUTO, 10 to 800/1000/1500 feet, 3 to 260/330/500 meters [International Models Only], Default = AUTO)

Transducer Select

(QuadraBeamTM Only) Transducer Select allows you to select which transducer you want to use.
NOTE: The Matrix 37 supports the WideSide transducer which requires a separate purchase. You can visit our website at www.humminbird.com to order the WideSide transducer online or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-334-687-0503. NOTE: The WideSide View will be added to the view rotation when a WideSide transducer is connected to the Matrix 37 and Transducer Select is set to WideSide. In addition, Wide Side View and Side Beam Range will be added to the X-PressTM Menu. WideSide Sensitivity will be added to the Sonar Tab of the main menu system.
To change the selected Transducer: 1. Highlight Transducer Select on the Sonar Main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the transducer selected. (QuadraBeam, WideSide, Default = QuadraBeam)
From any view, press the MENU key twice to access the Main Menu System. The Alarms tab will be the default selection.
NOTE: When an alarm is triggered, you can silence it by pressing any key. The alarm will be silenced, and will not be triggered again until a new instance of the alarm condition is detected.

Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Depth Alarm setting. (OFF, 1 to 100 feet, or 0.5 to 30 meters [International Models Only], Default = OFF)

Low Battery Alarm

Low Battery Alarm sounds when the input battery voltage is equal to or less than the menu setting. The battery alarm will only sound for the battery that is connected to the Matrix Fishing System. The Low Battery Alarm should be set to warn you when the battery voltage drops below the safety margin that you have determined. For instance, if you are running a trolling motor (battery operated), you would want to set the Low Battery Alarm to sound before the battery voltage drops too low for it to be used to start your main, gasoline-powered engine. To change the Low Battery Alarm setting: 1. Highlight Low Battery Alarm on the Alarms main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Low Battery Alarm setting. (Off, 8.5V - 13.5V, Default = Off)

Fish ID Alarm

Fish ID Alarm sounds when the Fishing System detects fish that correspond to the alarm setting. Fish ID Alarm will only sound if Fish ID+TM is on.
For example, if you've set the Fish ID Alarm to sound for Large fish only, the Fish ID alarm will sound when a large-sized fish is detected.

Alarm Tone
