A shallow water depth alarm feature can be set in in-
crements of 1’ (0.3m). The operator sets the value by
pressing and holding dashboard mounted MODE and
SET buttons for 2 seconds. Entering shallow water
causes a continuous chirping sound and blinking up/
down arrow segments.
The shallow water alarm setting is displayed as blink-
ing digits. Current depth is displayed as steady (not
blinking) digits. If the alarm screen is blank no shal-
low water alarm is set. If the depth screen shows
dashes the depth is zero or indicates a bad sensor read-
ing.
Press the MODE button initiates “Set Mode”. The shal-
low water setting blinks along with the down arrows on
the display. Pressing the SET button sets the alarm
towards deeper water. Pressing the MODE button again
indicates the up arrows. With the up arrows on, press-
ing the SET button sets the alarms towards shallower
water. Holding the SET button longer than 1 second
speeds up the process of making the alarm setting
deeper or shallower.
Pressing the MODE button again allows the depth mea-
surement units to be changed. While in “Units Mode”,
the shallow alarm setting blinks and the “FEET” or
“METERS” telltale flashes. Pressing the SET button
changes between feet and meters. Pressing the MODE
button again allows the depth sounder system to be
enabled or disabled. In this mode, a blinking message
“ON” or “OFF” appears. Pressing the SET button
changes between Sounder ON and Sounder Off. In
the “OFF” mode the sounder no longer sends out its
periodic sonar ping. The “OFF’ mode should be en-
abled when using Fish Finders or other equipment
that has the same 200kHz frequency to avoid “Cross
Talk”.
Pressing the MODE button again causes a return to
normal “Depth Mode”. In any case, thirty seconds after
the last button press, the display automatically returns
to depth mode. In Depth Display mode, pressing the
SET button displays the shallow water alarm setting.
The alarm setting blinks for ten seconds. When shal-
low water is encountered the up/down arrows blink and
the audible alarm beeps.
Pressing the SET button turns the beeper off, but only
for the present low water event. Entering deeper water
re-enables the beeper for the next encounter with shal-
low water. See the VDO “Quick Start” card at the end
of this section for additional directions.
being set. While in set mode the SET button is pressed
to increment the selected unit. The hours is set in the
24 hour format, rolling to zero at 24. The minutes roll to
zero at 60. While setting the 12/24 hour feature, 24 is
displayed in the hours position and 12 is displayed in
the minutes position. The current mode blinks (i.e. in
24 hour the “24” blinks).
MODE and SET are debounced for 3/8 of a second. If
the SET button is held for 2 seconds while setting the
numeric value the key auto repeats at a rate of 6 per
second (i.e. to scroll through all 60 minutes requires 12
seconds). When the ignition is turned off the present
mode is saved and the LCD displays the time of day.
The time setting functions are not available with
the ignition off. When the ignition is turned on the
LCD returns to its prior display mode.
The clock keeps time up to 21 days after the ignition is
turned off. During this time the system is in its power
saving state. After 21 days the module shuts down to
conserve battery power. When the ignition is turned on
after 21 days, the clock restarts at midnight in the mode
active at ignition off. The time of day must be set again.
NOTICE
The clock has a three week auto shut-off ca-
pability. This will reduce the drain of your bat-
tery.
B. Depthsounder & Alarm
The depthsounder is standard equipment on the Hori-
zon and Sundowner models. Readings can be dis-
played in feet or meters. The depthsounder has both
an audible and visual alarm.
The transducer is factory installed and is water tested. It
will be located in the bilge compartment to limit the effect
of water turbulence while underway.
NOTICE
DO NOT depend solely upon the depthsounder
for water depth. It is important to have
navigational charts of the waters in which you
are operating.
Do not rely on depthsounder to avoid sub-
merged objects. Depthsounders provide a rela-
tive indication of water depth only.
