USING THE DEPTH KEY


Press the DEPTH key to cycle through the following options:

DEPTH M The current water depth in metres M, can

also be displayed in feet FT or fathoms FA. The unit is
factory set to metres. The depth displayed is from the
depth datum, see below.

D CAL M The Depth Datum can be adjusted so the

displayed water depth is from the water- line, the depth
sensor (transducer) or the keel/outdrive depth. The
unit is factory set to display water depth from the
transducer.


The Network DEPTH unit can measure and display water
depth in the following ranges:

• 0.7 to 180 metres
• 2'4" to 590'
• 0.37 to 98.4 fathoms
• Accuracy ± 2% or ± 0.2m (± 8")


If the Network DEPTH unit losses valid depth data, due
either the actual depth being outside the working range,
or to extreme turbulence in the water the LCD will show 3
"floating" bars. This shows that the unit is attempting to
calculate the depth and is still functioning.
