Transducer type (Echosounder)
Transducer type is used for selecting the transducer model connected to the echo
sounder module. In some transducers with built-in temperature sensors, the
temperature may not be correct if the correct transducer is not selected from the
transducer type menu. Note: Transducers with a 6 pin connector
See compatible transducer list on page 86
Note: SimNet depth sources will have their own calibration please see page 59
Radar setup
Before starting the system for the first time, check the following;
• Check radar is physically clear to rotate
• Leave a HD pulse radar in standby for 30 minutes before transmitting for the first
time
• Check all personnel are clear of radar beam (HD Radar)
• Check all wiring is correctly connected. Apply power to the breaker
Basic set up is required on all new radar installations. The set up varies slightly between

type of radar and display relevant information.
