DTD (Depth Temperature and Direction)
Camera Use
This great option gives the user the ability to use Swiss digital sensor technology to tell you
the depth of the camera, the temperature of the water the camera is at and the direction
the camera is pointing under the water. This information graphic will be on screen inside
a round graphic in the lower right corner of the monitor. A Master Control box for the
DTD system is mounted below the monitor and is used to calibrate depth and to turn the
display ON or OFF.
Attaching your cable to the Master Control Box starts first with simply connecting your
DTD camera (all DTD cameras are two tone color of gray and black) to the “camera”
connector side of the control box and connecting the monitor to the “monitor” connector
on the other side of the control box.
Once connected and you turn your system on, you
will see the round white dial on the lower right
corner of the display in white. Note that the white
graphic will be very visible in water, but may not
be seen well above the water. The control panel
has only one button, the button controls both the
calibration of the unit and the ability to turn the DTD
display graphics ON or OFF.
It is recommended you calibrate your depth setting only if you do not have a 0.0
feet reading before you submerge the camera. Simply depress the control box switch
once and the display will set depth back to zero. You will no longer need to use the
control box unless you decide you no longer wish to see the DTD display on the monitor
while you are fishing and that means you will simply press and hold the control button
for 3 seconds and the display will leave the screen. This is commonly used when
connecting to larger monitor or recording the image you see on the display.
DTD Option – This is a camera-only feature that adapts to any Fish Scout Monitor
to display Depth, Temperature and Direction. It is available on all Fish Scout systems.
Only the Gray/Black camera housing with the DTD decal is capable of showing Depth,
Temperature and Direction and a camera control box is required to fit between the end of
the camera cable and the monitor input.
Changing the Unit of Mesure - Turn the Fish Scout monitor ON, then locate the DTD
controller box. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds. The units should now be changed.
