Introduction
KDS-6000BB is digital broadband sonar with broadband Transducer units.
This unit equipped with the latest digital process can accurately display circumstances in the
water under all conditions.
KDS-6000BB is the Black Box type without the display unit, for which customer can select the
display monitor of preference. The external monitor and connecting cable are user supply.
The signal to an external monitor is analog VGA.
Koden has 17 inches LCD monitor as option.
The main features of this unit are as follows:

・This unit is a digital broadband sonar with broadband Transducer units.
・With a simple operation on a menu, frequencies can be optionally set within a wide range.
・The operation units can be easily installed from the front side by flush mounting.
・VGA analog output to an external monitor unit is provided as standard. The use of external
monitor enables to observe the sonar images from the place distant from the main unit
(External monitor is owner supply).
・The data for image, waypoint and setting data can be backed up to the USB memory, to be
recalled.
・As the operation unit is separated, operation away from the processor unit is possible.
・Sona-ToneTM (Sonar sound) function provides fish school status by sound.

Basic knowledge for making use of sonar

We suppose that you, the user of sonar, already know how to use sonar. In this section we
will theorize your experience to improve your fishing.
1. Propagation of ultrasonic wave

(1) Propagation speed of ultrasonic wave
The propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in the sea water is said to be about 1,500m per
second.
However it differs very much depending on the seasons and sea areas during a year.
The cause of the difference depends on the following 3 factors:
• Sea water temperature (°C)
• Salt concentration (%)
• Water pressure (water depth) (m)
Consequently, when thinking of the propagation speed at the surface layer zone, the speed
differs according to the sea area and also, even in the same sea area, it becomes different on
account of vertical propagation.
As a result of surveys conducted at various sea areas in the world, it has been made clear
that the difference between maximum and minimum speeds is as much as 100 (m/sec). In a
sea area having a fixed salt concentration, the propagation speed of ultrasonic wave
increases on an average by the following:
• About 3m/sec every time sea water temperature rises 1°C
• About 1.7m/sec every time water depth increases 100M
(about 10 atmospheric pressure)
(2) Absorption and attenuation of ultrasonic wave

When an ultrasonic wave is emitted into the sea water, the energy attenuates progressively
as the distance becomes farther. It indicates that the higher the frequency becomes, the
greater the absorption and attenuation of ultrasonic wave become. The main causes are;
• Attenuation of ultrasonic wave caused by the decrease of the acoustic energy density
due to the reflection, refraction and dispersion in water.
• Attenuation of ultrasonic wave caused by the conversation from the acoustic energy to
other energy due to absorption by the viscosity of medium.
(3) Influence by marine conditions

The sea water temperature changes according to the three layers which are roughly classified into
the surface, middle and lower layers.
Atmosphre
Sea surface
Surface layer
Middle layer
Lower layer
Sea bottom
0093160002-12 xvii
Basic knowledge for making use of sonar KDS-6000BB
Surface layer:
This layer is greatly affected by the natural phenomena (e.g., sun, wind, rain, etc.) since it is
adjacent to the atmosphere. Besides, the propagation route of ultrasonic wave refracts on the
boundary where the temperature variations in addition to the difference in temperature
between daytime and night are the greatest depending on the temperature distribution.
Also, not only the temperature changes but much noise is produced. Noise at the sea
surface having an effect on the sonar is seriously influenced by the wind and sometimes, the
sea surface becomes rough. This phenomenon causes the irregular reflection of ultrasonic
wave in the vicinity of the sea surface.
Middle layer:
This layer is not subjected to the same direct factors as the above surface layer and often
presents a fixed temperature because the respective factors negate with each other, and as
the water depth increases, the water temperature falls almost linearly. Thus, in this layer, the
ultrasonic wave propagates relatively in a stable condition.
(4) Refraction of ultrasonic wave

A phenomenon so called “Refraction of ultrasonic wave” is greatly affected by the propagation
speed.
In case the temperature In case the temperature
in the surface layer is high: in the surface layer is low:
The propagation route bends down, The propagation route bends up,
therefore, it becomes very hard to therefore, it becomes easier to detect
detect the fish school in the surface the fish school in the surface layer in
layer in the distance. the distance.

Distance Distance
(As the temperature distribution always changes depending on the natural phenomena such
as seasons, sea areas and current etc., some fish schools may not be detected according to
the areas no matter how high you may turn up the Gain control. Keep this in mind when you
use your sonar.)
(5) Reflection of ultrasonic wave

This is a phenomenon caused by the difference of the water temperature between surface
and the middle or lower layers.
For instance, there is a big difference in destiny of sea water between the surface zone and
middle zone whose boundary exists about 100m deep.
In this case the ultrasonic wave emitted in the underwater direction propagates in the water
within 100m at the surface layer as shown in the next figure.
xviii 0093160002-12
KDS-6000BB Basic knowledge for making use of sonar
Sea surface
Ultrasonic wave route
Surface layer
Big difference in
Middle & lower layer density of sea water
Therefore, even a small fish school may be detected from a long distance unexpectedly, on
the other hand even a big fish school cannot be detected from a distance.
(6) Shadow zone

In the shallow sea area, reflected ultrasonic waves from the surface reflect on the boundary
with a big difference in density or on the sea bottom and it appears on the surface. The area
out of the propagation route becomes “SHADOW ZONE” and the echoes become weak. This
zone differs according to the marine conditions and sea areas, therefore, be careful when you
use your sonar in long-distance detection.
2. Difference of detectability according to transmitting frequencies

The intensity of sonar ultrasonic echoes returned back from a fish school is attenuated by the
following causes as well as the curvature of ultrasonic waves due to a change of water
temperature (See 1. “Propagation of ultrasonic wave”), and the fish school detection
becomes difficult.
(1) Attenuation of ultrasonic waves due to the turbidity of sea water

If the sea water is not clear due to the mixing of very fine sand and mud, the ultrasonic
echoes are weakened, and the detection distance become shorter as the transmitting
frequency becomes higher.
(2) Deviation of ultrasonic beams due to the rolling and pitching of a ship
The transmitting direction of ultrasonic waves changes due to the rolling and pitching of the
ship. As the transmitting frequency becomes higher, the ultrasonic beam width becomes
narrower, and as a result, the missing of echoes increases due to the rolling and pitching of
the ship. (In order to reduce this failure, KDS-6000BB provides a built-in stabilizer function.)
(When installed with DHU-6302-BRD.B (AS), you can use the stabilizer function by
connecting to the Motion sensor.)
(3) Reduction of gain due to traveling noise

Noises produced by the engine rotation, propeller rotation, and the friction between the ship’s
hull and sea water are mixed into echoes to reduce the detecting gain of echoes.
As the transmitting frequency becomes lower, the effect of traveling noises increases.
(4) Attenuation of ultrasonic waves by the bubbles produced in tracks

The vicinities near the tracks of your own ship and other ships are filled with bubbles
produced by the rolling from the sea level into the sea, and the propagation of ultrasonic
waves is interrupted by these bubbles. As the transmitting frequency becomes lower, the
attenuation of ultrasonic waves due to bubbles increases.

S/N ratio is reduced compared with [Low speed].
[Low speed] Ship’s speed: 5 knots or less.
Tilt angle: -60° or downwards.
Sensitivity of the Bow-side and Stern-side are reduced when tilt angle is
set to upwards or the ship’s speed is 5 knots or more.
[1 to 7] [7] is the widest bandwidth and then gradually reduced by moving from [6]
=>[5]=>[4]=>[3]=>[2]=>[1] that is the narrowest bandwidth.
[Auto] [FIR] is set automatically according to the ship’s speed and the tilt angle.
[High speed] is the widest bandwith and then gradually reduced by moving from [Medium
speed]=>[Low speed]=>[6]=>[5]=>[4]=>[3]=>[2]=>[1] that is the narrowest bandwidth.
Caution: If the frequency bandwidth is wide, the resolution becomes high. It is

easy to find the small targets, but there is too much noise to make
distinctions with signs of fish. If it is narrow, resolution becomes low, and the
noise becomes reduced.
Caution: Depending on the setting of the frequency bandwidth, the sensitivity of

the bow-side or the stern-side may decrease under the influence of the
“Doppler effect”. Please set a bandwidth widely when the ship’s speed is fast
or the tilt angel is upwards.
