Should the DC input voltage polarity be applied in reverse, an audible alarm within the unit will sound regardless of the POWER switch setting. In the event that the input voltage drops below the minimum threshold the unit will automatically shut down. Page 8 of 8 Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc. May 28, 2008... -
Page 9: Choice Of Operating Frequencies
(See 2.1 Specifications). 2.6 Signal connector Transducer The signal from the transducer is passed to the Echotrac CV via a standard Odom transducer cable with a twist- lock connector. Page 9 of 9 Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc. -

When the Echotrac CV is turned on, a red LED will be on to indicate that the internal systems have powered up successfully. The red LED is located below the power button. Page 10 of 10 Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc. May 28, 2008... -
Page 11: Ethernet Indicators
The Transmit indicators on the Echotrac CV indicate whether the Transducer is firing or not. The frequency at which the Channel indicator flickers also indicates whether the Transducer is firing at a slow or fast pace. Page 11 of 11 Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc. May 28, 2008... -

Page 15: Sea Chest" Transducer Installation
"sea chest" design in order to provide hydrostatic pressure equalization. Transducer cables generally leave these assemblies through stuffing tubes, which maintain the watertight integrity of the chest. Page 15 of 15 Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc. May 28, 2008... -

Therefore, if the depth for all three channels are being output, and all three have errors, then Channel 1 has the highest priority and its error letter will be shown in the output. Not either of the other two channels because they have a lower priority. Page 24 of 24 Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc. May 28, 2008... - Page 25 If multiple channels are in use and not all the channels have an error, then priority of the channels determines which letter is displayed to indicate the Error. If all channels are used and all have an Error, a unique letter is used to identify that situation. Page 25 of 25 Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc. May 28, 2008...

2-To upgrade the Motorola processors you need the new binary file. The file is named ECV1COM.bin and must be obtained from Odom Hydrographic Systems Inc.. We normally do not put these on our web site, but we can email them to you or they will be sent on a CD disk. Once these files have been obtained put them in a known folder in the computer with the Odom Flash Program. -
