1-2 How the FISH 4432/4433 works
The FISH 4432/4433 has two parts:
- the transducer attached to the hull
- the display unit.
The 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 shape.
(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 shape.
When the pulse meets an object, such as a
fish or the bottom, it is partly reflected back
up towards the boat as an echo. The depth
of the object or bottom is calculated by the
FISH 4432/4433 by measuring the time taken
between sending a pulse and receiving the
echo. When an echo has been returned, the
next pulse is sent.
