Simrad EK80 Harbour Acceptance Test
Turning on the EK80
In order to use the EK80, you must first turn it on. You must first turn on the display,
the Processor Unit, the transceiver(s), and the Ethernet switch (if applicable). After this
you can start the EK80 program.
Prerequisites
The EK80 is installed as specified in the EK80 Installation manual. Minimum one
transceiver with one or more transducers has been connected. All relevant navigation
sensors are operational.
Caution
You must never set the EK80 to "ping" unless the transducer is submerged in water.
Most transducers are damaged beyond repair if they transmit in open air. Prevent
inadvertent use of the EK80 whenever a transducer is not submerged.

Turn on the display and the Processor Unit, and start the EK80 program.
