Operation Speedometer The speedometer is a digital instrument with the appearance of an analog instrument. The speedometer is designed to be operated from a “paddle wheel” sensor. A microprocessor controlled stepper motor moves the pointer to display boat speed using a linear dial. The microprocessor and stepper motor provide excellent accuracy. Variations in the operation of the “paddle wheel” sensor are however fairly common.
calibration adjusted using the sub menus. Pressing and holding the “Mode” button while the Trip Log is displayed will change the display to the “settings” menu (see Figure 2, page 6). miles (NM). Miles Nautical Miles Trip Log “Settings” Menu There are three items in the Trip Log “Settings” Menu: Reset, Units, and Calibration. Briefly pressing the “Mode” button cycles through the menu items. The microprocessor will automatically record the new settings as you adjust them.
Setting the Deep Alarm to zero turns off the alarm. Depth Sounder “Settings” Menu There are four items in the Depth Sounder “Settings” Menu: Shallow Alarm, Deep Alarm, Keel Offset, and Units. Briefly pressing the “Mode” button cycles through the menu items. The microprocessor will automatically record the new settings as you adjust them. Keel Offset Pressing the “Up” or “Down” button changes the setting for the Keel Offset.
feet (FT), Quickly press the “Mode” button three (3) times to select and enter the Calibrate “settings menu”. meters (m), There are two methods of calibration; and fathoms (FA). 1) A GPS or radar gun can be used to obtain a fixed speed. While holding the boat at the selected speed press the “Up” or “Down” buttons to adjust the speedometer pointer reading to match the GPS or radar gun indicated speed.
Quick Reference Guide Speedometer LCD Display Modes - -Settings Menus- -Settings Menus- Figure 2 Setup Mode The display will show “*SETUP*”. The speedometer full scale deflection setting can be changed using the Setup Mode (see Figure 1). Use this option only if you have reason to believe that your setting is wrong. Setting an incorrect value in this menu can result in extremely inaccurate performance of the speedometer.
full scale selections. The microprocessor will automatically record the new setting as you modify it. This is normally a factory setting that needs no adjustment. The setting adjusts the “full scale” operating range of the speedometer to match the dial on the instrument. Using the “Up” and “Down” buttons, Pressing and holding the “Mode” button sets the instrument to normal operation. Speedometer Full Scale Selection adjust the setting to match the maximum reading on the speedometer dial: 50 or 70 MPH.
