C, How to Obtain Good Signal Strength and Signal Quality 

After installing two transducers, please use Menu 90 and 91 to check the signal strength and 

signal quality, time ratio within the range of 97%-103%. 

Screw one transducer or another transducer, let the value of Menu 90 at least 

＞

60. 

 

The scale factor is used to modify the measurement results, factory default is 1.0 or other value 

depends  on  calibration.  The  user  can  enter  a  numerical  value  other  than  1.0  according  to  re-

calibration results.
