Measuring Speed and Distance
The
SPEEDWATCH
measures
the
actual
speed
through
water,
not
speed
over
land
as
with
a
GPS.
The
small
impeller
is
mounted
under
the
boat
or
kayak
and
generates
a
magnetic
field
when
rotating.
This
magnetic
field
is
received
by
the
transmitter
through
the
hull
with
no
wires,
up
to
30
centimeter
.
The
transmitter
sends
out
a
low
frequency
radio
signal
which
is
received
up
to
5
meter
by
the
display.
To
properly
read
speed
data,
the
impeller
and
transmitter
should
be
mounted
properly.
Please
see
the
INSTALLATION
section
for
detailed
instructions.
There
are
two
modes

measuring
speed
through
the
water,
MANUAL
or

timer
is
started
