Troubleshooting
Check, remedy
• Check cables between transceiver unit, processor
unit and monitor unit.
• Check ship's mains.
• Have a qualified technician check the fuses inside
the transceiver unit.
• Check cables between transceiver unit and pro-
cessor unit.
• Press and hold the power key for approximately
seven seconds to force-shut-down the equipment.
• Check connections between control unit and pro-
cessor unit.
• Gears may require re-greasing. See section 9.2.
• Rough seas. Distance to the bottom changes due
to rolling and pitching.
• Long range selected. Transmission period is lon-
ger so ship's pitching and rolling are apt to affect
detection of echo.
• Output power set to minimum. Set power to maxi-
mum from main menu  [1 TX/RX Setting]  [3
Transmission Power].
• Adjust the gain with the GAIN knob. See
section 1.7.
• If either near echoes or far echoes only are weak,
adjust the [Near Gain] or [Far Gain] as appropri-
ate. See section 2.6.
• Brilliance setting too low. Increase the monitor
brightness.
