900 Series™ Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached

A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started 900 Series™ to go into Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up the 900 Series™, it goes into Simulator mode automatically, even though a transducer is already connected, this means that the control head is not detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks:

•Using the Installation Guide that also comes with your 900 Series™, check to make sure that the transducer cable is securely connected to the 900 Series. Reconnect if necessary, and power up the 900 Series™ again to see if this fixes the problem.

•Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer if available and power up the control head again.

•Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded.
