Noise Reject and ASP

The ASP

 (Advanced Signal Processing) feature is a noise rejection

system built into the sonar unit. It constantly evaluates the effects of

boat speed, water conditions and electrical interference and automati-

cally gives you the best display possible under most conditions.
ASP is an effective tool in combating noise. In sonar terms, noise is any

undesired signal. It is caused by electrical and mechanical sources such

as bilge pumps, engine ignition systems, wiring, air bubbles passing

over the face of the transducer and even vibration from the engine. In

all cases, noise can produce unwanted marks on the display.

The ASP noise rejection feature is especially useful because, typically,

it lets you operate the boat at all speeds without adjusting the sensi-

tivity or other controls.
The ASP feature has three settings — Off, Low and High. When first

turned on, noise rejection is set on low. If you have high noise levels,

try using the high ASP setting. If, however, you are having trouble

with noise, we suggest you take steps to find the interference source

and fix it, rather than continually using the unit with the high ASP

setting.
