FF520 Page 7 1. INTRODUCTION This chapter provides basic information in becoming familiar with the advanced functions of the FF520 before you start using it combined with the STANDARD HORIZON GPS Chart Plotters.
Page 8 FF520 Performance of the FF520 used in conjunction with optional transducers (sold separately) will vary based on water conditions, bottom composition, boat hull, vessel speed, installation, and specific transducer model. This includes but is not limited to both minimum and maximum depth performance.
FF520 Page 9 2. MOUNTING THE FF520 The FF520 must be properly installed according the following instructions to get the best possible performance. NOTE TRANSDUCER : refer to Chapter 6 and to the Installation Manual supplied with the transducer. 2.0 INSTALLATION The FF520 must be mounted in a dry, cool and well ventilated location.

FF520 Page 27 automatically tracks the range around the bottom specified by the Bottom Range value. Depth : Moves the display from showing the bottom to the depth value entered. Shift : Shifts the display from the bottom of the transducer to the depth value entered.
Page 28 FF520 STC : Sensitivity Time Constant: it is a time varying gain curve which attenuates the sonar receiver gain in shallow water, increasing the gain gradually as the depth increases. This is for the purpose of filtering out surface clutter. STC Length : If STC is Custom, it is possible to change the Length of the Sensitivity Time Constant.

Then in this example, the digital depth would report a depth of 20 feet (from the surface) and the graphic image scale range would shift from 0 to 20' to 5 to 25'. Calibrate Water Speed : Allows calibrating the value of Water Speed coming from the transducer.
