2.0  DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES 

 
2.1 

Enable Switch 

 

The 

ENABLE

/

OFF

 switch is a center-biased three position switch. If you 

push the switch down, the magnetic pickup stores the displayed value 
in the non-volatile memory and switches the unit off if not on external 
power. 

The unit cannot be switched off when connected to external 

power. 

The display unit forces you to use two switches, to prevent accidental 
loss or corruption of the depth display value. 
The up position (

ENABLE

) does several things: 

The unit powers on, and the unit re-displays the stored value.  
Enable is also required to zero or increase/decrease the depth. 

 

 

2.2 

Feet / Meters Switch 

 

The 

FEET

/

METERS

 switch is a two position switch which allows you to 

change the display between feet and meters. The up position displays 
the depth in feet, down displays the depth in meters. You can change 
this switch at any time and the display is automatically updated at that 
time. 

 

 
2.3 

Zero Switch 

 

The 

ZERO

 switch allows you to zero the display, it is a two position 

momentary switch. To activate this switch, you must hold the 

ENABLE

 

switch up, then press this switch up.  
The rate of increase (or decrease) is controlled by the length of time 
the 

INCREASE

/

DECREASE

 switch is held in position. For small 

adjustments, hold the 

ENABLE

 switch up and jog the 

INCREASE

/

DECREASE

 switch. 

 
 

2.4 

Increase / Decrease Switch 

 

The 

INCREASE

/

DECREASE

 switch is a center biased three position 

switch. Use the 

ENABLE

 switch to activate this switch: 

Hold both the enable and the increase/decrease switches up and the 
display value increases 
Hold the enable switch up, and the increase/decrease switch down 
and the display value decreases.
