Humminbird Piranha 2 - Manual (Page 5)

O-15
6. I get gaps in the r eading at high speeds.
Y our transducer needs adjusting. If the transducer is transom-
mounted, there are two adjustments available to you—height,
and running angle. Make small adjustments and run the boat at
high speeds to determine the effect. It may take several tries to
optimize high-speed operation. This can also be a result of air or
turbulence in the transducer location caused by rivets, ribs, etc.
7. My unit loses po wer at high speeds.
Y our Piranha has over-voltage protection that turns the unit off
when input voltage exceeds 20 VDC. Some outboard motors do
not effectively regulate the power output of the engine’s alterna-
tor and can produce voltage in excess of 20 volts when running
at high RPMs. The SureVolt power stabilizer from Humminbird
maintains a steady voltage to the unit and solves this problem.
8. The screen begins to fade out. Images are not as
sharp as normal.
Check the input volta ge. The Piranha will not operate on input
voltages below 8 VDC.
9. The display shows many black dots at high speeds and
high sensitivity settings.
Y ou are seeing noise or interference caused by one of several
sources. Noise can be caused by other electronic devices. Turn
off any nearby electronics and see if the problem goes away.
Noise can also be caused by the engine. If engine noise is caus-
ing the interference, the problem will intensify at higher RPMs.
Increase the engine speed with the boat stationary to isolate this
cause. Propeller cavitation can appear as noise on-screen. If the
transducer is mounted too close to the propeller, the turbulence
generated can interfere with the sonar signal. Ensure that the
transducer is mounted at least 15" (38cm) from the prop.
