Operation

Speedometer

The speedometer is a digital instrument 
with the appearance of an analog 
instrument. The speedometer is designed 
to be operated from a “paddle wheel” 
sensor. A microprocessor controlled 
stepper motor moves the pointer to display 
boat speed using a linear dial.

The microprocessor and stepper motor 
provide excellent accuracy. Variations in 
the operation of the “paddle wheel” sensor 
are however fairly common. These 
variations may be caused by the mounting 
location of the “paddle wheel” on the hull, 
which affects water flow characteristics, or 
turbulence and air bubbles in the area of 
the “paddle wheel”. Therefore, calibration 
of the speedometer may be required and is 
easily accomplished by using the Trip Log 
display or the pointer.

Description

The SystemCheck® Commander™ 
Speedometer has three push buttons; 

The “Mode” button is used to change the 
function of the LCD display and to access 
sub menus and adjustable settings. The    

 

 

“Down” and “Up” buttons are used to 
modify the settings.

In normal operation mode, pressing the 
“Mode” button for a short period of time 
causes the display to cycle between the 
Depth Sounder display and the Trip Log 

display.  Pressing and holding the “Mode” 
button causes the display to change to the 
“settings” sub menus (see Figure 2, page 6).

When the settings menus have been 
selected, pressing the “Mode” button for a 
short period of time causes the display to 
cycle through the setting options. Within 
each setting selection, pressing the 
“Down” and “Up” buttons causes the 
affected setting to change. The 
microprocessor will automatically record 
the new settings as you adjust them.

When in a setting menu, pressing and 
holding the “Mode” button returns to the 
main function.

Trip Log

The Trip Log is similar to the trip 
odometer in an automobile. The distance 
traveled, as recorded by the speedometer 
“paddle wheel”, is displayed.

The Trip Log may be reset to zero, the 
units of measure changed, or the
