3 Troubleshooting
The Transducer Module is designed to minimize user problems; however, all electronic devices
are subject to possible failure. The following are troubleshooting hints if your system fails to
operate.
If the radar is not running properly, an error message will be displayed indicating the possible
cause of the problem.
Check Connections: If a problem occurs during system initialization, the first step is to check
the connections. Make sure that cable connections are tight and that they have “clicked” into
place.
Reset the System by Powering Down: If the connections are OK but the error persists, try
powering down the system completely. Then power everything back on and see if the system
runs.
3.1 Power Supply
Another common problem that can occur while trying to run a system is insufficient power. There
may be a problem with the AC power supply or adapter.
3.1.1 DVL Power Requirements
The DVL and pulseEKKO PRO control module are designed to operate from a 12 volt DC, 3 to 4
amp source such as batteries or AC Mains power supply. The input voltage tolerance is 10.2
volts to 15 volts.
If there is enough power to run the DVL, the upper red LED on the front of the DVL will light up
when the power source is plugged into the system. If this light is on and the DVL boots up, runs
and displays the main menu then there is sufficient power for the DVL.
If the voltage is less than about 10.2 volts, the DVL may not turn on and the upper red LED will
flash or not illuminate.
3.1.2 Transducer Module Power Requirements
The Transducer Module does not require a separate power source for operation. It is powered by
the same 12 V battery that powers the DVL and Control Module (see above). Power is sent to the
transducers through the transducer cable.
3.2 Transmitter Problem: No Signal on Screen
If the pulse cannot be found do the following checks:
1) Make sure the system is properly powered and connected.
