EQ33 Installation and service

9.9 Troubleshooting

For all fault finding, first check that the supply voltage is between 10-32 VDC

Symptom

Check

Remedy

No picture on display 
screen

Check that the unit is 
turned on

Press the [PWR] key on 
keypad

Check fuse in power cable 
fuse holder

Replace fuse. Use only 
type 4.0A slow

Picture appears on the 
display screen, but image 
is too dark or too bright

Press [PWR], adjust light/
contrast, press [ENT]

No normal picture or key 
operation

Turn unit off and on again

Disconnect power and 
connect power again

Return to factory presets, 
see section 7.7

Echo picture appears 
normal, but no target are 
shown or only random 
“noise” is seen

Check that the correct 
transducer frequency is 
selected

Go to Echosounder setup 
and select transducer 
frequency

Check that the transducer 
connectors are securely 
mated with the unit

Correctly mate the con-
nectors to the unit

Check that the receiver 
gain is set high enough

Increase the receiver gain 
in 5.9 Presentation setup

Check that the range is 
correct for the water depth

Adjust the range in 5.9 
Presentation setup

Excessive noise in echo 
picture

Check for correct ground-
ing

Connected equip-
ment must be properly 
grounded to the main unit
