The table below provides common symptoms of equipment
troubles and the means to rectify them. If normal operation
cannot be restored, do not check inside the system. Any repair
work is best left to a qualified technician.

No picture

Power supply.

Check ship’s mains voltage at the
power plug connected to the power
unit.

Fuse.

If blown, replace with 10A fuse. Call
service technician if it blows again.
NEVER use a fuse of a higher rating.

Bottom echo becomes
irregular

Rough seas.

Distance to sea bottom changes due
to rolling and pitching.

Long range selected.

Since transmission period is a little
longer, ship’s rolling and pitching are
apt to effect detection of echo.

Weak echo

TX OUTPUT POWER set to other than
"C."

Check the TX OUTPUT POWER
setting on the SONAR menu, and
set it to "C" for max. output power.

TVG effect is excessive.

Excessive TVG results in elimination
of useful echoes.

Note: Readjustment of TVG is

required whenever the GAIN
control is adjusted.

Somewhat strange color

BRILL control set too low.

Increase the brightness.
