Water Speed Averaging
Averages water speed by measuring your speed at a selected interval of time. Water
speed intervals range from one to thirty seconds. If you select five seconds, your water
speed will be recorded every five seconds, then averaged.
Calibration range: 1-30 seconds. Default is 1 second.
Temperature Calibration
Temperature calibration is used to adjust the water temperature value from the echo
sounder transducer to match the data from another temperature sensor.
Calibration range: -9.9° - +9.9°. Default is 0°.
Transducer Type
Transducer type is used for selecting the transducer model connected to the echo
sounder module. In some transducers with built-in temperature sensors, the
temperature may not be correct if the correct transducer is not selected from the
transducer type menu.
See compatible transducer list
Note: Other depth sources will have their own calibration
Radar setup
Basic set up is required on all new radar installations. The set up varies slightly between
Boradband radar and the range of conventional HD pulse radars. The Zeus will detect the
type of radar and display relevant information.
