Raymarine i50 Depth, Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

8.1 i50 Tridata operation
When connected to the relevant transducer(s) your
i50 Tridata instrument:
• Provides depth information in either feet (FT) or
metres (M).
• Enables you to define alarm thresholds for shallow
alarm, deep alarm, shallow anchor alarm and
deep anchor alarm.
• Provides speed information (current, maximum
and average), in either knots (KTS), miles per hour
(MPH) or kilometers per hour (KPH).
• Velocity made good (VMG) information, VMG
is only available when connected to SeaTalk
or SeaTalk
ng network which also contains a
compatible wind transducer.
• Provides log and trip information. These are given
in either nautical miles (NM), statute miles (M) or
kilometers (KM).
• Provides water temperature information. This is
given in either degrees celsius (ºC) or degrees
fahrenheit (ºF).
• Provides count up and race start timer functions.
Note: Depth information is obtained from the depth
transducer connected to the unit. However, when
the instrument is connected to a SeaTalk network,
which contains a compatible sonar module
(fishfinder) the depth information is provided by the
sonar module whilst it is switched on.
It should be noted that:
• The required units of measurement are set during
User calibration.
• Up / Down depth-trend arrows are displayed, if the
seabed is rising or falling at a significant rate.
• The log screen shows the total distance covered
by the vessel since the unit was fitted.
• Maximum speed, average speed and trip reading
are reset to zero at power up.
• If for any reason depth information is lost, the
depth title will flash and the displayed value will be
the last known depth reading.
