7. Depth reading does
not change (See Sect.
7)
8.
Random
depth
readings
with
no
relation to the actual
depth
9.
Continuous
very
shallow readings, such
as .7 or .8 on a No. 550,
or 1 or 2 on a No. 530
or No. 540
10. On the No. 550, at
very shallow depths of
less than four ft., the
depth
reading
is
different on the 2.0'-
99.9' range, than on the
4'-499' deep range
11. Alarm WILL sound,
if...
a.
Move DISPLAY
switch from "Alarm
Set" to "Depth".
a. Electrical
interference
from
Ignition system on
engine or generator;
b. Electrical
interference
from
charging system;
c. Mechanical vibration
of transducer,
d. Incorrect transducer
mounting,
causing
air bubbles to flow
across the face of
the transducer.
a. Air bubbles across
transducer;
b. Boat
in
shallower
water
than
the
depthfinder
is
designed to read.
a. Depth too shallow for
the
deep
(4'-499')
range-use the 2.0'-
99.9'
"tenths-of-a-
toot range.
a. Water is shallower
than Shallow Alarm
setting
b. Water is deeper than
Deep Alarm setting;
c. Deep Alarm is ON
and "No Echo" is
received
(increase
sensitivity);
d. Both alarms are ON
and Shallow Alarm is
adjusted deeper than
the Deep Alarm or
vice-versa;
12. Alarm MAY sound,
if...
13. Remote No. 540
reads slightly different
depth than the master
unit
14. Remote No. 540
reads much differently
from the master unit
e. Both alarms are on
and DISPLAY switch
is up to ALARM SET
(alarms must be set
separately).
a. The unit is turned
OFF, ON, or power
is momentarily lost
due to a poor, or
intermittent
power
connection;
b. There is severe sub-
surface interference
present
when
the
Shallow Alarm is ON
(reduce
the
sensitivity)
c. There
is
severe
electrical
interference present:
(See
page
15
"Interference")
d. There
is
a
momentary
voltage
drop due to some
other
electrical
accessory
on
the
boat cycling on-such
as bilge blower or
pump.
a. A normal variation
due
to
accuracy
tolerances.
a. Sensitivity control on
either the No. 540, or
the master unit, is
incorrectly adjusted;
b. Operation
outside
the rated depth of
the No. 540;
c. Check both the No.
540 and the master
in
a
known-depth
area, to determine
which unit requires
recalibration.
