Transducer setup
CAUTION:
Before starting any dockside setup procedure, ensure the boat is securely
moored alongside.
Use these dockside setup procedures to set:
•
Correct depth offset and sea temperature.
•
Required method for calculating ground wind.
•
Correct magnetic variation.
•
Required instrument response.
•
Trim tab calibration.
Introduction to transducer setup
Depth, speed and temperature data are derived from transducers in the boat’s hull.
Either of the following transducer configurations may be fitted to provide this data:
•
Conventional transducers, i.e. separate Depth and Speed, with the water temper-
ature sensor built into the Speed transducer.
•
Smart transducers (either combined Depth/Speed/Temperature (DST) or com-
bined Depth/Temperature (DT) transducers).
