Sonar Diagnostic
This diagnostic shows the distance measured by the selected sonar sensor from the sensor
face to the object in front of it, looking down from on top of the machine. The distance is
displayed in millimeters. There are between 15 and 19 sonars on a machine depending upon
the model. Each sonar has a number from 0 to 23.

Using the up "A" and down "B" buttons select the sonar of interest to view the distance it is
measuring. The sonar number "C" and distance "D" will be displayed, along with a sound wave
animation "E" showing where the sonar is located on the machine.
The sound waves from sonar sensors fan out so the sonar may detect objects that are not
directly in front of them. Also, the sonar sensors have a dead zone where they cannot detect an
object. The dead zone is the first 6 inches from the face of the sonar.
When a sonar number is gray, and the distance is reported as "----", the sonar is not receiving
an echo and therefore cannot measure a distance.
If a number is skipped over, for example when going from sonar #6 to #8 and #7 doesn't
appear, then sonar #7 is not installed on your machine.. Long-range sonars are #7 and #10.
Short-range sonars are #17 and #20. Both types are specific to a specific machine model.
If the proximity board software version number "F" looks like ----, it means that the computer
cannot communicate with the proximity board. To exit the diagnostic and return to the
Diagnostics main screen, touch "Return" "G."
