will blink to indicate that the alarm has been triggered.
See diagrams at left. To set the alarm, press any of the
five softkeys to bring up the softkey menu. Then, press
the softkey for the
ALARM symbol to bring up the
ALARM MENU.
To adjust the alarm setting, use the buttons below the
symbols in the
ALARM MENU, or the NAV UP/
DOWN button. Press the softkey button below the
EXIT symbol to save the setting and exit, or press the
button below the CLEAR symbol to disable the
ALARM and exit.
Beam Adjustment
The SE-200 typically scans forward over a 90 degree or
180 degree sector. In some cases you may want to
reduce the size of the sector and scan in a particular
direction. Reducing the sector size is also one way to
increase the scanning speed, as time isn’t wasted by
scanning unwated areas. The
BEAM can be adjusted in
both the vertical and horizontal scanning modes.
To adjust the beam, press any of the five softkeys to
bring up the softkey menu and then press the softkey
related to the
BEAM symbol to bring up the BEAM
MENU.
Use the NAV buttons to adjust the beam sector size
and then use the
NAV left
right buttons to adjust
the resulting sectors direction. Press the EXIT softkey
to save the setting and exit, or press the clear softkey
symbol to disable (reset) the BEAM adjustment and
exit.
A good example of the use of the beam adjustment is
when cruising in deep water where the desired scanning
area is close to the surface (looking for obstructions, etc).
In this situation you could reduce the size of the
scanning sector and then steer it up to the surface. This
would result in the desired coverage but with a much
faster scanning speed. See diagrams at left.
Display Color
Pressing the display color symbol brings up a menu
where you can select from a normal blue background, a
white sunlight visible display or a black nighttime back-
ground. (The up/down brightness controls only work
with the Interphase VGA display.)
