Panoptix Transducer Installation Settings

From a Panoptix™ sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Installation.

Install Depth

Sets the depth below the water line where the Panoptix transducer is mounted. Entering the actual depth at which the transducer is mounted results in a more accurate visual presentation of what is in the water.

Bow Offset

Sets the distance between the bow and the forward view Panoptix transducer installation location. This allows you to view the forward distance from the bow instead of the transducer location.

This applies to Panoptix transducers in the Garmin FrontVü™, LiveVü Forward, and RealVü 3D Forward sonar views.

Beam Width

Sets the width of the down view Panoptix transducer beam. Narrow beam widths allow you to see deeper and farther. Wider beam widths allow you to see more coverage area.

This applies to Panoptix transducers in the Garmin FrontVü, LiveVü Down, and LiveVü Forward sonar views.

Use AHRS

Enables the internal attitude heading and reference system (AHRS) sensors to detect the installation angle of the Panoptix transducer automatically. When this setting is turned off, you can enter the specific installation angle for the transducer using the Pitch Angle setting. Many forward view transducers are installed at a 45-degree angle and down view transducers are installed at a zero-degree angle.

Flipped

Sets the orientation of the Panoptix sonar view when the down view transducer is installed with the cables pointing toward the port side of the boat.

This applies to Panoptix transducers in the LiveVü Down, RealVü 3D Down, and RealVü 3D Historical sonar views.

Calibrate Compass

Calibrates the internal compass in the Panoptix transducer (Calibrating the Compass).

This applies to Panoptix transducers with an internal compass, such as the PS21-TR transducer.

Orientation

Controls if the transducer is in down or forward installation mode. The Auto setting uses the AHRS sensor to determine the orientation.

This applies to PS22 and LiveScope™ transducers.

Focus

Adjusts the sonar view to compensate for the speed of sound in water. The Auto setting uses the temperature of the water to calculate the speed of sound.

This applies to LiveScope transducers.

Restore Sonar Defaults

Restores the sonar settings to the factory default values.
