The table below provides common symptoms of equipment troubles and the
means to rectify them.
Symptom Check, Remedy
Cannot turn on the
power
•
Check power cable.
• Check ship’s mains.
• First check the fuse in the processor unit. If it is OK, have a
qualified technician check the fuse in the transceiver unit.
Bottom echo
becomes irregular • Rough seas. Distance to the bottom changes due to rolling and
pitching.
•
Long range selected. Transmission period is longer so ship’s
pitching and rolling are apt to affect detection of echo.
Weak echo

Output power set to minimum. Set TX OUTPUT (SONAR menu) to
maximum.
