The Mode Button Animates As If Pinging But Nothing Happens. What Is Wrong; Why Is The Key Pulse From My Secondary Sounder Not Triggering The Wassp System - Wassp WMB-3230 Operator's Manual

9.14 The MODE button animates as if pinging but nothing happens. What is
wrong?
The charting displays will not update without enabling the GPS information, seafloor profile information
and mapping. Check your GPS is on. This can be validated by checking the Network window or
Transfer Task diagnostics displays. If the seafloor line is not being traced on the Sonar display or the
Mapping has been disabled, then new data will not be added to the charting database.
Increase the gain, and range. Can you see noise on the Sonar display? If not, reset the power to
the BTxR, and reset the WASSP Processor and retry. If this problem persists and there are no error
messages, contact your dealer. If you are getting an error message or messages, look at the relevant
information for the error message in the error section of this FAQ (page 60).
Ensure that the Transducer has not been disconnected from the BTxR - both the receiver cables and
the transmit cables need to be connected in order for the WASSP system to operate. If problems
persist after a full system shutdown and power up then contact your dealer.
9.15 Why is the Key Pulse from my secondary sounder not triggering the
WASSP system?
Ensure you have wired the input correctly, and that the input signal is suitable (see "4.2.2.3 Key
►
Pulse Connection" on page 19 of the Installation Manual).
Be mindful that the KP Activity LED on the Network Window is not an accurate representation of
►
the input signal, and merely indicates KP state changes within WASSP's data acquisition time in
each ping. This activity LED may not light up at all if the Master system pings slower than WASSP,
even though WASSP may ping in sync (when in slave mode).
Currently there is a known issue that keying pulses with pulse widths smaller than ~0.1ms may
►
not trigger the system correctly. It is recommended that you run the WASSP system as Master,
and set the secondary sounder as the Slave.
