MAINTENANCE

Your LEGEND 2000 SERIES is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation with virtually no maintenance. Follow these simple procedures to ensure your LEGEND 2000 SERIES continues to deliver top performance.

Cleaning

If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, simply wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened in fresh water. Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the lens, as chemicals in the solution may crack the lens.

When cleaning the LCD protective lens, use a chamois and non-abrasive, mild cleaner. Do not wipe while dirt or grease is on the lens. Be careful to avoid scratching the lens.

If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically clean the face of the transducer with liquid detergent. Pivoting the transducer up in the bracket may allow better access for inspection or cleaning.

Wetting the Transducer

If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take some time to wet the transducer when returned to the water. Small air bubbles can

cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper operation. These bubbles dissipate with time, or you can wipe the face of the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.

Heat Damage

Never leave the LEGEND 2000 SERIES in a closed car or trunk—the extremely high temperatures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Repairs

Do not attempt to repair the LEGEND 2000 SERIES yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and special tools and techniques are required for reassembly to ensure the waterproof integrity of the housing. Repairs should be performed only by authorized Techsonic technicians.

Before You Call Customer Support

Many requests for repair received by Techsonic involve units that do not actually need repair. These units are returned “no problem found.” If you have a problem with your LEGEND 2000 SERIES, use the following troubleshooting guide before calling Customer Support or sending your unit in for repair. The LEGEND 2000 SERIES contains several tools that can aid in determining if there is a problem, as well as how to isolate and repair a problem in many cases.

1. Nothing happens when I turn the unit on.

Check the power cable connection at both ends. Be sure the cable is connected correctly to a reliable power source—red lead to positive, black lead to negative or ground. Ensure the power available at the mount is between 10 and 20 VDC. If the unit is wired through a fuse panel, ensure the panel is powered; accessory fuse panels often are controlled by a separate switch or by the boat’s ignition switch. A fuse also can appear to be good when in fact it is not. Check the fuse with a tester or replace it with a fuse known to be good.

Check the power connection to the LEGEND 2000 SERIES. It is possible to force the power cable connector into the collector plug incorrectly. If the connector is reversed, the unit will not work. Examine the contacts on the back of the unit to ensure there is no corrosion.

Ensure the cables are properly installed into the collector plug and the collector plug is properly seated into the LEGEND 2000 SERIES.
