Page 9: About This Manual
Purpose The purpose of this operator manual is to present the descriptions and procedures required to operate the Simrad SX90 Fish finding sonar system in a safe and efficient manner. It is not possible to describe all functions and parameters in detail. It is therefore also important that you study the other documents that are provided with your sonar.

Page 46
: This field displays the unique 12-character hardware HWID identification code. This code is different for each SX90 sonar. Simrad uses this code to generate the 32-character code word used for a permanent option installation. • : Each will start the 1 month free test period for the chosen option. -
Page 47: Display Modes
Display modes DISPLAY MODES The SX90 sonar provides you with several different display modes. These have been created to cover all your operational needs for various types of fishing and fishing gear. Bow up When Bow up mode is selected, the vessel symbol is stationary on the screen with the bow pointing upwards.
-
Page 48
Simrad SX90 Bow up/180° Vertical When the Bow up/180° Vertical mode is selected, the upper part of the screen shows a curtailed Bow up presentation, while the lower part shows a 180 degrees Vertical slice presentation. This mode is mainly intended for trawlers, where the vertical view acts as a multibeam echo sounder. -
Page 49
Display modes Dual 1 The Dual 1 mode is a kind of “two sonars in one” operation, where each presentation is updated for every second transmission. All settings can be set individually for each of the two presentations. This makes the dual mode especially useful for optimizing settings by directly comparing the two presentations. -

Page 65: Basic Theory
Basic theory BASIC THEORY This chapter explains some of the basic theory related to settings, error sources and noise conditions. Settings A sonar will transmit a sound wave into the water around the vessel. When this sound wave hits fish, bottom, or other objects in the water, a part of the sound will be returned as echoes.
-
Page 66: What Is Agc
Simrad SX90 What is AGC? AGC means “Automatic Gain Control”. If you wish the SX90 sonar to control its own gain automatically, you must enable this function. You can choose from three different levels. When the AGC has been switched on, the manual…
-
Page 67: About Beam Widths
Basic theory About beam widths A narrow beam will always reach further than a wide beam. This is because the transmitted power of the sonar is concentrated. Nevertheless, you can easily “miss” a school of fish if you make the beam too narrow. If the range is reduced, it is the common to use a wider beam.
-
Page 68: What Is Rcg
Simrad SX90 What is RCG? RCG means “Reverberation Controlled Gain”. This function compare the strength from each echo, and then automatically adjust the range and echo level in the sonar picture. The RCG will remove unwanted echoes from the sea surface and the bottom.
-
Page 69: About Tilt
Basic theory About tilt The sonar beam can be tilted vertically in steps of 1 degree, and the chosen tilt is shown on the sonar picture. At 0 degrees tilt you will transmit the sonar beam in parallel with the sea surface, while 90 degrees tilt will direct it straight down.
-
Page 70: Cavitation
Simrad SX90 The most common cause of acoustic noise is the propeller and the cavitation caused by its rotation. Other typical noise sources on board your vessels are winches, refrigerating plants, power generators, pumps and cranes. If you experience problems you think are caused by noise, try to find out which system that causes the noise, and contact your dealer for advice.
-
Page 71: Blocking
Basic theory the bottom, you will still be able to identify the school of fish. In situation (B) you will be able to identify the upper school of fish, but the lower school will be hidden in the shadow of the rock. Be aware of that other vessels close to you will also generate reverberation due to the water disturbance caused by the wake, the propellers and the cooling water spill.
-
Page 72: Layers And Deflections
Simrad SX90 Layers and deflections Your sonar operations may also be disturbed by environmental situations that you are unable to control. Two typical conditions are temperature and salinity layers, and deflections caused by increasing or decreasing water temperature. Temperature and salinity layers You may experience that temperature and/or salinity layers exist in the water column.
-
Page 73
Basic theory When the temperature decreases (A) closer to the bottom, the sonar beam is deflected down as indicated by the illustration. The school of fish (B) you thought you would see is not visible at all. On cold days, you may experience the opposite: the cold water will be close to the surface, and the water temperature increases with increasing depth. -
