    Depending on your sonar unit’s connectors, your transducer cable may also have the sonar unit’s power cable attached to it. If that is the case, be sure to install the transducer first, before connecting the power cable to a power source. See the instructions later in this manual for connect- ing the power cable to a battery or other power supply.

    NOTE: Some aluminum boats with strakes or ribs on the outside of the hull create large amounts of turbulence at high speed. These boats typically have large outboard motors capable of propelling the boat at speeds faster than 35 mph. Typically, a good transom location on aluminum boats is between the ribs closest to the engine.
  • Page 9: How Low Should You Go

    How low should you go? For most situations, you should install your Skimmer transducer so that its centerline is level with the bottom of the boat hull. This will usually give you the best combination of smooth water flow and protec- tion from bangs and bumps.

    ers. The sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. A successful transducer installation can be made on hulls with flotation materials (such as plywood, balsa wood or foam) between layers of fiberglass if the material is removed from the chosen area. See the figure below. WARNING: Do not remove any material from your inner hull unless you know the hull’s composition.
  • Page 17: Testing Determines Best Location

    Testing Determines Best Location Ideally, the shoot-thru transducer should be installed as close to the transom as possible, close to the centerline. This will give you the best performance during high speed maneuvers. 1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water. Add a little water to the sump of the boat.

    hull. This is especially true if you have to turn sensitivity all the way up to get a decent bottom signal. 4. Most people can get good results by following steps 1 through 3, so this step is optional. If you want to make an extra effort to be absolutely sure that your selected location will work under all conditions, make a test run with the boat on plane and observe the bottom signal.

Современную рыбалку трудно представить себе без эхолота. Эти маленькие помощники уже давно вошли в арсенал рыбаков и заняли свою нишу в походном инвентаре многих любителей активного отдыха. Давно не секрет, что от качества подобных изделий, их функциональности и работоспособности зависит очень многое. Ведь часто бывает так, что единственным способом исследовать дно незнакомого водоёма, чтобы определить потенциальные рыбные места, является именно эхолот. Особенно это важно во время зимней рыбалки. Поэтому многие любители рыбной ловли предпочитают использовать не какие-то безымянные китайские изделия, а продукцию известных фирм. Такими устройствами являются эхолоты Lowrance X-4 и X-4 Pro от известного американского производителя.

Общие сведения о моделях

Каждый раз, выбирая тот или иной товар, хочется, чтобы он был и дешевый, и надежный. Это в равной степени касается абсолютно всех покупателей, независимо от их уровня доходов, и всех видов продукции, независимо от их ценовой категории. Американская компания Lowrance, уже более 60 лет занимающаяся выпуском эхолотов, именно так позиционирует свои популярные модели эхолотов серии «Х».

Эта серия присутствует на рынке уже более десятка лет. В настоящее время производство её прекращено, однако успех линейки был такой, что эхолотов было произведено более чем достаточно.

В настоящее время еще относительно большое их количество до сих пор не распродано. Данные эхолоты представляют собой недорогие приборы, обладающие тем не менее достаточной функциональностью, которой вполне хватает для оценки подводной обстановки.

Среди большого количества других моделей эхолотов трудно найти более приемлемый вариант по соотношению цена/качество. А известное имя их производителя является гарантией того, что данное приобретение не будет пустой тратой средств.

Эхолот с аксессуарами
Кроме того, как и подобает любому нормальному производителю, Lowrance осуществляет реализацию своей продукции со всеми необходимыми комплектующими и аксессуарами. В комплект поставки, кроме самого эхолота и инструкции к нему, входят несколько приспособлений для крепления и все необходимые метизы.

В настоящее время эхолоты Lowrance X-4 можно купить в Москве примерно за 130–150 долларов. Цена версии X-4 Pro будет несколько выше: порядка 150–170 долларов.

Описание и характеристики

Данные модели обладают практически очень похожими характеристиками, однако, различия между ними весьма существенны. Основное, чем отличаются модели Lowrance X-4 и X-4 Pro – это тип датчика, используемого в трансдьюсере.

Обычная модель (Lowrance X-4) оснащена однолучевым датчиком Lowrance 200 kHz Skimmer, работающим на частоте 200 кГц и имеющим угол обзора 60 градусов. Более продвинутая версия эхолота – Lowrance X-4 Pro оснащается двулучевым датчиком Skimmer, имеющим частоты в 83 КГц и 200 КГц с углами излучения в 120° и 60° соответственно.

Датчики в этих моделях отличаются не только по частотам, но и по мощности излучаемого сигнала, что, естественно, отражается на максимальной рабочей глубине.

Датчик, используемый в Lowrance X-4, имеет постоянную мощность 100 Вт и пиковую 800 Вт. Датчик в модели Lowrance X-4 Pro является более «активным»: мощности его излучения равны 150 Вт и 1500 Вт соответственно. Максимальная глубина сканирования для обычной версии X-4 составляет 183 м, а X-4 Pro – 305 м.

Важно! Указанные величины мощности являются мощностью излучения в импульсе, средняя электрическая мощность, потребляемая прибором (вместе с датчиком) от аккумулятора, составляет от 10 до 30 Вт в зависимости от времени работы, используемых режимов, глубины водоёма, солёности воды и т. д.

Оба эхолота имеют степень водозащищённости IPX7.

Экран эхолота
Вся получаемая от датчика информация выводится на встроенный в эхолот Lowrance X 4 черно-белый экран с размерами по диагонали 4 дюйма (10 см) и разрешением 240х160 точек.

В дисплее используется технология Super-twist, то есть фактически изображение на экране не чёрно-белое, а серое, имеющее 4 оттенка. Графическая информация, выводимая на дисплей, прекрасно читается при ярком свете солнца и подсвечивается в темное время суток, благодаря наличию встроенной подсветки. Возможности приборов обширны, и, кроме обнаружения рыбы, позволяют пользователю: определять структуру дна, глубину водоема, распознавать виды рыб.

Звуковая сигнализация оповещает пользователя эхолота Lowrance о приближении лодки к мели и обнаружении рыбы в поле обзора датчика-излучателя. Функция Lowrance automatic ASP позволяет получать изображение самого высокого качества на экране устройства. Кроме этого, в конструкцию датчика-излучателя встроен датчик для измерения температуры воды.

Датчики обеих моделей эхолотов может закрепляться на плавательном средстве несколькими способами:

  • на транец лодки – стандартная и наиболее распространённая схема установки при помощи специального крепления, идущего в комплекте;
  • на троллинговый мотор;
  • на дно лодки;
  • крепление к борту лодки при помощи присоски.

Важно! В зависимости от места установки датчика могут понадобиться различные инструменты.

При любом способе монтажа оба эхолота надежно работают на скоростях до 110 километров в час. Для электропитания прибора используется электросеть напряжением 10–17 вольт, при этом мощность производитель рекомендует использовать в общей цепи питания эхолота и датчика предохранитель на 3 А.

Информация на дисплее

Дисплей представляет собой место отображения информации двух типов:
текстовой (температура, глубина, уровень заряда батареи);
графической (изображение дна и рыбы).

Информация на экране эхолота
Отображение текстовой информации производится в левом верхнем углу экрана. Графическая информация выступает как бы «фоновым» изображением.

Глубина отображается визуально в виде тёмной полоски относительно верха экрана, принимаемого за уровень поверхности водоёма. Чтобы не запутаться, нулевой уровень (уровень поверхности) отображается символом «0» непосредственно в левом верхнем углу.

При движении лодки текстовая и графическая информация меняются. На месте текста с данными о глубине, температуре и уровне заряда просто появляются их новые значения. Графическая же информация изменяется гораздо интереснее.

Ранее нарисованное изображение сдвигается влево, а с правого края начинает изображаться новый участок дна. Поскольку разрешение экрана составляет по горизонтали 160 точек, эхолот запоминает последние 160 измерений, что позволит достаточно детально отобразить визуальную картинку дня.

Предварительная настройка

Приборы очень просты в повседневной эксплуатации. Пользователь сможет легко настроить эхолот перед началом работы с помощью кнопок управления, вынесенных на лицевую панель прибора, при этом настройки сохранятся в памяти устройства даже при отключении электропитания.

Изначально эхолоты Lowrance X-4 и X-4 Pro выходят с базовыми настройками, которые для работы, мягко говоря, не предназначены. Рассмотрим последовательность действий, необходимую для того, чтобы настроить эхолот.

Вначале следует включить эхолот при помощи кнопки «Power». После включения необходимо войти в меню и установить русский язык. Так будет проще разобраться с навигацией по пунктам меню. Это можно сделать, нажимая кнопку «MenuUp» и найдя пункт «Languages». В нём выбирается русский язык при помощи стрелок. Подтверждение выбора осуществляется кнопкой «MenuUp».

Далее осуществляется настройка основных параметров:

  • Диапазон глубин: авто;
  • Масштабирование: выключено;
  • Чувствительность (размер исследуемых объектов): от 50 до 70%;
  • Частота: 200 КГц для 120°, 83 КГц для 60°;
  • Скорость прокрутки экрана – 100%;
  • FishID (отображение рыбы): включить;
  • Track on (расстояние до рыбы): включить;
  • Звук на рыбу: включить;
  • Звук на мели и глубины: можно включить и указать минимальную допустимую глубину;
  • Глубина/Температура (размер шрифта отображения глубины и температуры): по желанию.
  • Единицы: выбрать метры;
  • Температура: выбрать градусы Цельсия.

Настройка дополнительных параметров: яркость, контрастность, подсветка и т. д. Эти пункты устанавливаются по индивидуальным предпочтениям и на работоспособность устройства влияния не оказывают.

После того как все настройки будут сделаны, следует войти в режим «Демонстрация» и посмотреть, сохранились ли настройки и удобно ли работать с прибором. Если что-то не работает, или вызывает дискомфорт, следует снова войти в соответствующие пункты меню и перенастроить прибор.

Важно! Выбор используемой частоты (и, соответственно, типа датчика) осуществляется в зависимости от целей, которые ставит себе рыболов. Если необходимо обнаруживать рыбу, лучше воспользоваться частотой 83 КГц, если нужно получить качественное изображение рельефа дна – 200 КГц. Функция работает только для Lowrance X-4 Pro.

Купил эхолот Lowrance X-4 Pro более 5 лет назад. В то время его цена была около 200 долларов. В том же году начал его эксплуатировать на речной и озерной рыбалке. Нареканий к настройке прибора особых не было, разобрался во всём без проблем. Функцию автопоиска рыбы я никогда не использовал, поскольку она мен совершенно ни к чему. Для меня главное в этом устройстве было точно определять уровень и характер дна. Прибор эксплуатировался на глубинах от 3 до 15 м, при этом рельеф дна отображался очень детально – я замечал даже коряги. Чувствительность я устанавливаю от 75 до 85%. «Дуги» от рыб прекрасно позволяют понять, чем в данный момент они заняты – кормятся или просто отдыхают. За всё время эксплуатации прибор ни разу не подводил меня и в ремонте не был.

Модель Lowrance X-4 представляет сбой недорогой и практичный эхолот, который должен иметь под рукой каждый рыбак. Естественно, поиск рыбы при помощи таких устройств никому не интересен. Во-первых, потому что это не спортивно, а во-вторых, существует множество ситуаций, когда подобного рода приборы именно по рыбе выдают не совсем корректную информацию. Тем не менее Lowrance X-4 позволяет с высокой точностью оценивать характер дна и выявлять неприятные для рыбаков его особенности – коряги и илистые грунты. Это существенно ускоряет процесс поиска рыбных мест и троп. Данный гаджет сочетает в себе относительную дешевизну и практичность. Как по мне – идеальный выбор.

Использую модель Lowrance X-4, как один из самых дешевых брендовых эхолотов. Пожалуй, это самый оптимальный выбор средства локации, поскольку он имеет самую низкую цену из качественных товаров и вместе с тем, обеспечивает достоверной информацией о происходящем в водоёме. Он лучше любого «китайца», даже обладающего большим функционалом, поскольку более надёжен и предсказуем: он всегда стабильно работает и не зависает, как его азиатские «аналоги». Что же касается Pro-версии, то я для себя не нахожу ей применения. Я рыбачу преимущественно на пресных водоёмах, глубина которых редко превышает 10–12 м, поэтому необходимости в низкочастотном излучателе не вижу никакой.

Эхолот Lowrance Х-4 является одним из самых простых и, вместе с тем, самых надёжных устройств, присутствующих сегодня на рынке эхолотов. Несмотря на почтенный возраст модели, она всё ещё популярна у многих рыбаков.
