Starting operation of the Sonar Head
To start operation of the FM90i sonar, you may need to make sure that the Sonar Head
has been discovered.
Context
Note
After powering up the FM90i, there will be a brief delay before the Processor Unit discovers
the Sonar Head. The length of this delay depends on external factors, such as the length of
your netsounder (third-wire) cable. Wait for the
LINK
LED (H) on the Surface Telemetry
Unit to turn solid before attempting to connect to the Sonar Head.
