A detailed overview of the echo sounder Practitioner 6S: characteristics, how to use

In order to have a chance for a good catch, a fisherman must know well the body of water where he is fishing. However, this possibility is not always available. Sometimes you have to explore new places, and in some cases you have to take into account that even on familiar reservoirs the situation can change. The solution to this problem can be the purchase and further use of the Praktik 6S echo sounder. It allows you to receive all the necessary information about the condition of the bottom and the presence of fish. In order to use this device, you need to know its features and the rules for working with it.

Features of the echo sounder Practician 6S

Using the Sonar Practice 6 gives the angler the following benefits:

1. The echo sounder provides accurate information not only about the depth, but also about the bottom topography . Observing the screen of the device, you can get an idea of ​​the places where it is worth fishing. The accuracy of determining the depth is 0.1 m.
2. The device can detect swimming fish, determine the depth at which it passes and approximately mark its value .
3. You can find out the density of the bottom surface . This makes it possible to draw conclusions about the material of which it consists. For example, the device can distinguish between a muddy bottom or covered with shell rock.
4. It is possible to determine the presence of foreign objects at the bottom or floating in the water. If a fisherman sees a snag, then he can expect that it will be possible to catch a predatory fish nearby. Cartography built using Practice 6S [/ caption]
5. In flasher mode, you can monitor in real time . Thus, you can more accurately choose the place and time for the next casting of the gear.
6. The determination of the presence of a thermocline in the water layer is available .
7. The robust housing makes the device virtually invulnerable to drops and other mechanical impacts.

When receiving an image, opportunities are provided for its processing: you can filter by the size of objects, as well as enlarge individual areas for more detailed viewing.

How to use sonar

The fishfinder comes in a compact and sturdy package. It consists of two parts – the device itself and the display for displaying the results obtained. The echo sounder, which emits ultrasonic waves and catches their reflection, is made in the form of a small cylinder. It must be immersed in water.
The emitter is connected to the display device using a cable several meters long. The echo sounder is usually used while sailing on a boat. It is lowered to the input, and the display is held in the hands, placed on your knees or fixed to the boat using special holders. The received data is displayed on a monochrome display. The image moves from right to left as new information appears. Bottom depth and soil density are displayed. The fisherman can see the relief at the place where he has already swum. The density of the bottom surface is shown, which makes it possible to judge the material of which it consists. A value of 18-19 indicates the presence of silt, and 21-22 indicates that the bottom is solid.

The fisherman can scout the situation, and then throw the tackle, taking into account the received situation. It is beneficial for both summer and winter fishing. For example, in the latter case, you can study the situation under each hole, identify promising options, and then cast in the right places.

Complete set and accessories

The device comes in a compact and sturdy box. It contains: an echo sounder, a display, a connecting cable, a charging wire and an instruction manual. Popular accessories are the sonar tip and holders for attaching the display device to the side of the boat.
The tip protects the device from accidental damage. The holder allows you to use the display without taking your hands, concentrating completely on throwing the tackle. Unibox case provided. It allows you to conveniently pack the device and protects it from accidental damage. The price of the Praktik 6s echo sounder is approximately 9,000 rubles at the end of 2021.

Specifications

Using Practice 6s, one must take into account the technical characteristics he has:

1. The accuracy of determining the depth is 10 cm. This applies to obtaining information about the bottom and about the passing fish.
2. The ability to get the exact relief of the traversed part of the reservoir.
3. The battery lasts for two days of fishing.
4. Scanning occurs within a cone with an angle of 40 degrees.
5. When scanning, data is obtained from one beam.
6. The display is performed on a monochrome screen that has a resolution of 128×64.
7. The saving of information about the routes already passed is not available. If the fisherman is in the same place again, he will have to re-conduct the survey.
8. GPS data is not used here.

A warranty is provided when the device is sold.

Comparison of different models

Sonar practice 6S and Practice 6M have a lot in common. They both work both during the heat and in the harsh winter conditions. Their display characteristics are similar. If you take them apart, you can see small differences in the appearance of the electronic circuit and in the cables. When connecting the cable to the display device, Practice 6M uses a sealed connector. For the Practician 6S model, the cable is soldered.
If we compare the Echo Sounders Practice 6S and Practice 7, then we can say the following:

1. The seventh version has a Wi-Fi connection and does not use a patch cord. This allows you to work at a distance of up to 50 m. In the sixth, both parts of the device are connected by a cable.
2. Practice 7 can be cast with a fishing rod. This makes it possible to explore the water surface both from the shore and from a boat. Practice 7 is often practiced from a boat. When winter fishing, it is lowered into the holes in order to find more promising ones.

The seventh version allows you to remember the research done and link them to specific points on the route. Subsequently, there is the possibility of re-viewing. https://tytkleva.net/lodki-i-osnashhenie/exolot-praktik-6m.htm

Instructions for use – how to set up and use the echo sounder Practice 6S

Echo sounder Practician 6S is designed for summer or winter fishing. The emitter emits ultrasonic radiation that is directed downward and catches the reflected waves. Based on the information received, using special algorithms, the bottom topography, the material of which it consists and the presence of floating objects are determined. The sensor is fixed in such a way that it is located slightly below the surface of the water. It does not display a 3D image. Radiation is generated inside a narrow cone, and the data is projected onto a vertical plane that passes through the axis of the cone. The echo sounder is used primarily for the following purposes:

1. Finding suitable habitats for the selected fish species.
2. Determination of the presence of fish in the water.

It is recommended to insert the battery at home. In cold weather, this will prevent condensation from forming in the compartment where it is located. When used in winter, make sure that the sensor falls below the ice level. Otherwise, the reflection from the edges of the hole can greatly distort the signal. When measuring depth, remember that it changes relative to the sensor, not the surface of the water. Therefore, the fisherman must control the degree of his immersion. The sonar operation is controlled using four buttons located at the bottom of the display device.
Sonar Menu [/ caption] To turn on the instrument, press the right button. The left one is used to launch the selected display mode. The arrow buttons allow you to select the appropriate use case. A long press on the right turns off the echo sounder. The fisherman can use the following operating modes:

1. Screen Backlight allows you to change the brightness of the display. Thus, the owner of the device can adapt to work in bright sun or at night.
2. “Setting the sensitivity level” allows you to adjust the detail of the information received. For example, if it is too high, the device will display leaves that have fallen into the water. To filter out important information, you need to reduce the sensitivity.
3. “Zoom adjustment” gives you the opportunity to see the big picture or focus on the details.
4.  “Working with the ZOOM window”, if necessary, you can enlarge a separate area of ​​the screen. In particular, this may be useful when viewing data related to a large depth. If necessary, you can reboot the device.

The narrow strip on the right is a window in which the current information is presented without processing. Experienced users sometimes prefer to be guided by the data from it. Download your sonar to Practitioner 6S – a detailed guide to the use of sonar:
