5. Turn the generator off. Check the stack for proper

assembly, damaged components, or dirty mating

surfaces. Recheck the ultrasound cable for proper

connections. Repeat Steps 1 through 4. If the test still

fails, go to the next step.

6. Turn the generator off, remove the stack from the

thruster, and remove the horn from the stack. Reinstall

the transducer-booster assembly in the thruster and

turn the generator on. Repeat Steps 2 through 4.

If the assembly passes with the horn removed, the horn

is outside the specifications required for operation with

the Digi-Trac preset range. Reassemble the horn to the

stack.

The System tab of iQ Explorer has a section for

Advanced Hardware. These features are designed for

unique horns and applications. See Figure 5-4.

Consult Dukane Corporation before making adjustments

to these settings.

7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6.

• If the failure indications disappear, reassemble the

horn to the stack and repeat Steps 2 through 4.

• If any failure indications are still present, do not

run this stack. Return the transducer and booster
