Before opening the Sonar head to access the Comms board jumpers, using the 'V3Setup' Utility
Program configure the following check box settings. These are needed to enable the 'Aux' port;
Note: “Board Rev” box may show SK5 on later
Sonar heads, this should not be changed!!
If the ‘AuxComm 1 Sec Rate’ check box is disabled, the Sonar will try to send up all data collected
through it’s auxiliary port. Please be aware that if the quantity and rate of this data is too great then
the interface may hang up.

The Comms board inside the SeaKing head must be a COMDV3, COMFV3 COMGV3 or COMV5
board and the jumpers should be set as follows.
Always ensure that the sonar Aux port is fitted with a Water Block connector.

2) Pin 4 and pin 5 on the AUX connector must be linked on the SeaKing comm. Pcb
Check the 'Has Aux or Compass'

box to restrict only 1 message per
second processing.
