shallow and deep limits and a depth below keel offset feature. These settings once made are stored in memory and will remain even if the battery is disconnected.
Operation:
1. Power on. The depth sounder will activate automatically when the power to it is initially turned on. You do not have to press any key. The LCD will illuminate showing the depth in the upper display. The lower display will show a “W” and water temperature.
Press the “Up” switch and the lower display will change to an “A” and the air temperature will be displayed.
Press the “Down” switch to return to the water temperature display.To turn the depth sounder off, press and hold the “Mode” switch for 4 seconds. Pressing the “Mode” switch again will reactivate the unit.
NOTE: The instrument is designed to have | |
the internal LED lighting remain on as long | |
as power is supplied even if the unit is turned | |
“off” by the “Mode” switch. |
|
2. Depth alarm. | “Mode” switch |
Deep mode: Pressing the | |
again displays the “DEEP”, deep | depth alarm |
setting. This is the deepest | water that will |
activate the alarm. Press and | hold the “Up” |
or the “Down” switch to adjust the reading to | |
the desired depth. |
|
Shallow mode: Press the “Mode” switch to display the “SHAL”, shallow depth alarm setting. This is the shallowest water that will activate the alarm. Press and hold the “Up” or the “Down” switch to adjust the reading to the desired depth.
When the depth of the water is less than the shallow depth alarm setting the audible alarm will sound rapidly. When the depth of the water is deeper than the deep depth alarm setting the audible alarm will sound at 2 beeps per second.
NOTE: To fully deactivate an alarm, reset it to
zero. Pressing the “Mode” switch temporarily deactivates the alarm. To reactivate the alarm press the “Mode” switch until the depth reading appears.
3.Keel offset. Pressing the “Mode” switch again displays the “KEEL,” keel offset setting. This can be set so that the depth sounder either shows the depth below the keel or the depth below the transducer.
Press the up or down arrow switches to adjust the reading to the desired depth no more than 19.9 ft.
For example if the bottom of the keel is 2.5 feet below the transducer and you want the depth sounder to read the depth below the keel, the display should be adjusted to read 2.5 FT.
NOTE: Once a keel offset is programmed, the shallow and deep alarms will be activated by the depth below the keel.
Units:
Change the unit of measure. The lower display will show “UNIT” and the upper display will show either “US” or “EURO” for metric units. Pressing the up or down switches will cycle through the choices.
Pressing the “Mode” switch will save the units shown in the display and change the display
Back to the normal depth mode. There will be no units shown in the displays. It will be up to the operator to determine the units from the temperature reading.
