Deep Water Hints

For operation in deeper water you need to increase your Power to a level of 3 or 4. Leave the Gain set to AGC and
increase your pulse length. The Tx Blanking setting should also be increased as the higher power and longer pulse
lengths will increase the transducer ringing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1

Power Indicator is Off

Confirm proper input voltage applied to echosounder. If the input is okay then connect to PC to confirm operation.
It may be that the LED has failed. If problem continues, contact Knudsen Engineering Limited.

5.2

No Output to Transducer

Confirm that the proper transducer has been connected to the echosounder. Then check the transducer cable for
any bends, breaks, or other visible damage.

5.3

No Connection to PC

The Chirp 3200 will be automatically recognized by Windows upon successful communication. If the Power
Indicator is ON but the system is not recognized by the PC then first try changing USB cables and then try a
different USB port on the PC. If the problem continues, contact Knudsen Engineering Limited.
