Distance reference diagram

Referring to the diagram, A and B are the markers for each run and X is the actual distance for
each run as measured from a suitable chart.

As the boat passes marks A and B on each run, instruct the system to start (Start Run) and
stop (Stop Run) and finally OK to end calibration (End Cal Runs).
After the last run is completed and OK has been selected, a pop up warning will ask you if you
wish to replace the current calibration with the new one. Select Yes to complete.

Depth

A typical transducer installation is through the hull in front of the keel. A datum (offset value)
can be set, such that the depth display refers to either the water line or the base of the keel.

+VE: Positive Datum for Waterline

- VE: Negative Datum for Keel

(0.0)

Setting the depth offset displays depth readings from directly below the keel or propellers of
the boat, or from the waterline to the seabed. This makes it easier to see the available depth,
taking into account the draught of the boat.
