7. Depth reading doesnot change (See Sect.7)8. Random depthreadings with norelation to the actualdepth9. Continuous veryshallow readings, suchas .7 or .8 on a No. 550,or 1 or 2 on a No. 530or No. 54010. On the No. 550, atvery shallow depths ofless than four ft., thedepth reading isdifferent on the 2.0'-99.9' range, than on the4'-499' deep range11. Alarm WILL sound,if...a.Move DISPLAYswitch from "AlarmSet" to "Depth".a. Electricalinterference fromIgnition system onengine or generator;b. Electricalinterference fromcharging system;c. Mechanical vibrationof transducer,d. Incorrect transducermounting, causingair bubbles to flowacross the face ofthe transducer.a. Air bubbles acrosstransducer;b. Boat in shallowerwater than thedepthfinder isdesigned to read.a. Depth too shallow forthe deep (4'-499')range-use the 2.0'-99.9' "tenths-of-a-toot range.a. Water is shallowerthan Shallow Alarmsettingb. Water is deeper thanDeep Alarm setting;c. Deep Alarm is ONand "No Echo" isreceived (increasesensitivity);d. Both alarms are ONand Shallow Alarm isadjusted deeper thanthe Deep Alarm orvice-versa;12. Alarm MAY sound,if...13. Remote No. 540reads slightly differentdepth than the masterunit14. Remote No. 540reads much differentlyfrom the master unite. Both alarms are onand DISPLAY switchis up to ALARM SET(alarms must be setseparately).a. The unit is turnedOFF, ON, or poweris momentarily lostdue to a poor, orintermittent powerconnection;b. There is severe sub-surface interferencepresent when theShallow Alarm is ON(reduce thesensitivity)c. There is severeelectricalinterference present:(See page 15"Interference")d. There is amomentary voltagedrop due to someother electricalaccessory on theboat cycling on-suchas bilge blower orpump.a. A normal variationdue to accuracytolerances.a. Sensitivity control oneither the No. 540, orthe master unit, isincorrectly adjusted;b. Operation outsidethe rated depth ofthe No. 540;c. Check both the No.540 and the masterin a known-deptharea, to determinewhich unit requiresrecalibration.SPECIAL TIPS ON 540 REMOTE22
