6 MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING

Do not open the cover.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer any repair work to a qualified
technician.

WARNING

6.1 Checking

Regular maintenance is essential for good

performance. Checking the items listed in the

table below on a regular basis will keep the

equipment in good shape for years to come.

Item Action

Cable run

If conductors are
exposed, replace
cable.

Power cable,
transducer cable plug

If loosened, tighten.

Display unit ground

If corroded, clean.

Ship's mains voltage

If out of rating, correct
problem.

6.2 Cleaning the Display Unit

Dust or dirt on the display unit should be

removed with a soft cloth. If desired a

water-moistened cloth may be used. Do not use

chemical cleaners; they can remove paint and

markings.

6.3 Transducer Maintenance

Marine life on the transducer face will result in a

gradual decrease in sensitivity. Check the

transducer face for cleanliness each time the

ship is dry-docked. Carefully remove any marine

life with a piece of wood or fine-grade sandpaper.

6.4 Replacing the Fuse, Battery

If a fuse blows, find the cause before replacing it.

Use only designated fuses. Using the wrong fuse

will damage the unit and void the warranty.

Three types of fuses are used in the distribution

box FE-702.

For Display Unit :

3 A x 1 pc (24 VDC)

For Digital Depth Indicator: 0.5 A x 2 pcs

For AC input:

1 A x 2 pcs

The Digital Depth Indicator FE-720 uses one fuse

of 1 A, which is inserted in the positive line of

interconnection cable.

A battery installed on a circuit board inside the

display unit preserves data when the power is

turned off. The life of the battery is about three

years. When the battery voltage is low, “battery”

NG appears at the self-test. When this happens,

contact your dealer to request replacement of the

battery.
