POWERING UP THE UNIT
BATTERY LEVEL METER
Press and hold the off button for 5 seconds to check the state of charge of the system
batteries.
The system will emit between one and five beeps which define the amount
of energy remaining in the batteries.
5 beeps greater than 95% charge (greater than 25.20 volts)
4 beeps between 80% and 95% charge (between 24.84 volts and 25.20 volts)
3 beeps between 60% and 80% charge (between 24.40 volts and 24.84 volts)
2 beeps between 40% and 60% charge (between 23.80 volts and 24.40 volts)
1 beep between 20% and 40% charge (between 23.00 volts and 23.80 volts)
1 growl less than 20% charge (less than 23.00 volts)
This function will stop all thruster and steering operations and use the precision volt-
age reference of the system to determine the battery’s remaining charge. State of
charge levels are based on voltage to charge references for ideal lead acid batteries
from leading battery manufacturers.
The system is able to operate in Manual Mode immediately when powered up and
deployed. The Anchor Mode and Track Mode will be available in approximately 30
seconds once the unit has acquired a GPS fix.
The unit will emit 1 “beep” to indicate that it is powered up.
The unit will emit 4 rapid “beeps” to indicate that it has acquired a GPS fix.
The GPS accuracy will continue to improve for several minutes after being
powered up. It is suggested that you apply power to the GPS ANCHOR early
in the trip so that it will achieve maximum accuracy before being used. The system
is equipped with a “Tilt” sensor that prevents the propeller from running in the
stowed position.
