Access the [Pick/Install Xdcr] menu. Check the [Transducer Size] menu cell. If necessary, enter the
[Xdcr Size] option list and pick the transducer under test.
Check the [Xdcr Mount Mode] menu cell. Adjust to match the simulator chart above.
Move the highlight down to [Install Complete?] by triggering the <Down Arrow>. Access the option
list. Move the cursor to [Install] by triggering the <Up or Down Arrow>. Trigger the ENTER sensor to
start the transducer install routine.
NOTE: Since Sizes A and C transducers are installed in Reflect Mode, you will see a pop-up
window that prompts you to: [Use Actual Zero]. You can ignore this by triggering the
<Down Arrow>.
Upon the completion of the [Install] procedure, the computer should report a sonic velocity within the
range of approximately 1350m/s to 1700 m/s (depending on the transducer size under test). Next,
check the [Diagnostic Data] menu. The [Valc %] item must be >35 for dependable operation. In addi-
tion, note the reading, then compare it to the [Vf max] item in the [Diagnostic Data/Site Setup Data]
menu. The value of the reading should be less that 2% of the published Vf max. Confirming these values
certifies that the entire system (computer, transducers, cables) is operating correctly. The investigation
should proceed to a review of all site conditions to locate the operating problem.

ers in place.
