Turning on the EK80 to Passive mode
In order to use the EK80, you must first turn it on. In this situation we do not want the
EK80 to transmit, so we will leave it in
Passive mode.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that the entire EK80 installation has been inspected. All power
sources have been measured and verified. All system cables and connectors have been
checked and tested. The EK80 has been installed on the Processor Unit.
Context
The program is not automatically started when the Processor Unit is turned on. Once the
operating system has started, select the program icon on the desktop.
When the EK80 is turned on and set to Normal operating mode, it will use the transducer
to transmit acoustic pulses into the water.
Caution
You must never set the EK80 to "ping" unless the transducer is submerged in water.
Most transducers are damaged beyond repair if they transmit in open air. Prevent
inadvertent use of the EK80 whenever a transducer is not submerged.
Procedure
1 Make sure that each transceiver is turned on.
2 Turn on the display.
If required, refer to the instructions provided by the display manufacturer.
