3.4. Depth functions (optional)

To change between Log and Depth information press MODE. This function will display depth in metres, feet or fathoms. To change unit see 4.2.6. A depth sounder measures the time it takes for a sound pulse transmitted from the transducer, to bounce on the bottom and be received by the transducer again. The strength of the sound pulse decreases with the depth and is also affected

by temperature and pollution in the water. A soft bottom with a lot of vegetation will also decrease the strength of the echo, which can result in poor reception by the receiver. If no echo is registrated the depth reading will be three dashes i.e. no echo.

3.4.1.Boat speed

To view boat speed press UP or DOWN until the text BSP is dis- played. The unit (Knots or Miles/h) is selectable in calibration, see 4.2.4.

3.4.2.Shallow alarm

To get to the shallow alarm function, press UP or DOWN until the text

SHALLOW is displayed. To change the alarm value, unlock with KEY, increase/decrease the value with UP/DOWN, move to the next figure with MODE button and lock the value again with KEY.

3.4.3. Deep alarm

To get to the deep alarm function press UP or DOWN until the text DEEP is displayed. To change the alarm value, unlock with KEY, increase/decrease the value with UP/DOWN, move to next figure with MODE button and lock the value

again with KEY. The alarm is activated.

3.4.4.Silencing an alarm

If a shallow alarm limit is reached the instrument will display depth on the top row

and the alarm limit flashing on the bottom row. To silence the alarm press any

button or steer the boat to deeper water. The alarm will be automatically activated

again if the boat is taken to deeper water ( 2 m more than the limit).

3.4.5.Activate / Deactivate an alarm

To activate / deactivate an alarm, go to the alarm function an press UP and

DOWN together. If an alarm is active the present alarm value is dis- played

together with the text SHA or DEP. If the alarm is deactivated the text

SHALLOW

or DEEP is displayed instead. The alarm value is stored in the memory even if

the alarm is deactivated.
