Page 21: Chapter 3: Fault Finding
Chapter 3: Fault Finding All Autohelm products are, prior to packing and shipping, subject to comprehensive test and quality assurance programmes. However, in the unlikely event that a fault does occur with the ST30 Bidata, the following table will help to identify the probable cause and provide the most likely cure. - Page 22 Chapter 3: Fault Finding Fault Failure of a group of instruments in a chain Unable to enter calibration Note: After installation, poor performance may be experienced if the surface of the depth transducer has not been 'wetted'. Wetting can take up to 24 hours under normal conditions.
