1.4 FILTERING OF THE CHANNELS
The level of filtering of a channel determines the frequency of update of the data displayed.
For example, in rough sea when the boat moves significantly, it is useful to increase the filtering
of the speed channel to stabilise the value displayed. Conversely, in calm sea, low filtering will
be preferable to obtain a fast response of the display.
Filtering is adjustable between 1 and 32, and the default value is 8. The lower this value is, the
higher the frequency of update is.
Please refer to the user guide of your display to carry out the filter setting.

ST
LEVEL TROUBLESHOOTING.
Before contacting technical support, please check the troubleshooting table below.
Problem
Possible causes and solutions
The Topline installation does not detect the masthead unit.
The bus cable is not or is badly connected to the terminal box : check the
connection inside the terminal box. Check the state of the cables : they
must not show any sign of wear or cut.
The apparent wind speed indicates 0.0, no matter what the wind
speed is.
Check that the calibration coefficient is different from 0.0 : refer to §3.
Check that the winch is not blocked.
The apparent wind speed indicates 0.0 and the air temperature
channel indicates « Pan ».
It is possible that the masthead unit is disconnected or broken. Check the
state of the cable and the connection to the box.
The apparent wind angle indicates 35° at close haul on one
board and 65° on the other.
Check that the stem of the masthead unit follows the axis of the boat
Carry out a calibration of the vane: refer to §3.
If you do not manage to solve the problem, please contact your distributor.
