In Step 2 (Winch Information) you must enter the reel size, cable type and length. The Reel
diameter of the Winch Assembly is 14 inch (35.56 cm) in this system and the Cable type is
Standard. These two questions have default answers at this time. Future options are planned.
The Cable length in this example is 30 meters. You order the cable length that best fits your
application. Typically there is at least one extra meter of cable shipped to allow some amount of
cable to remain on the reel at all times for proper winding. If you order 30 or 50 meter cable,
you will receive at least 33 meters or 53 meters, respectively.
In Step 3 (Site Information) enter your choice of profiling direction; ‘Bottom to Top’ or ‘Top to
Bottom’ profiling. Refer to your notes and you will see that ‘Top to Bottom’ was declared as
the Profiling direction in the example application.
The maximum depth of water in the profiling area is 14 meters. The predetermined park depth
