DSM400 Installation Guide.book Page 28 Tuesday, November 4, 2008 4:53 PM 3.4 Troubleshooting All Raymarine products are, prior to packing and shipping, subject to comprehensive test and quality assurance programs. However, if the unit develops a fault please refer to the following table to identify the most likely cause and the corrective action required to restore normal operation.
DSM400 Installation Guide.book Page 29 Tuesday, November 4, 2008 4:53 PM 3.5 DSM400 Thermocline Troubleshooting Thermocline A thermocline looks like a thick speckled band on the display. The debris and marine life found in the thermocline cause the sonar to mis-interpret it as the bottom, giving inaccurate depth readings. Thermocline Troubleshooting This section describes how to troubleshoot incorrect depth readings caused by “thermoclines” in certain areas of water.
DSM400 Installation Guide.book Page 30 Tuesday, November 4, 2008 4:53 PM Achieving Accurate Sonar Readings If you are using the DSM400 at depths of less than 100 feet, thermoclines are always penetrated correctly by the sonar, providing accurate depth readings. If you are using the DSM400 at depths greater than 100 feet, and displaying low frequencies only: 1. Press the RANGE IN or RANGE OUT button to open the Range Adjust toolbar. 2. Toggle the RANGE softkey to the MAN option. 3. Press OK. 4.
DSM400 Installation Guide.book Page 31 Tuesday, November 4, 2008 4:53 PM For example, if the transducer sense fails and the network is not detected, the LED blinks amber once, pauses 1.5 seconds, blinks amber twice 0.5 seconds apart, pauses 1.5 seconds and then repeats the sequence until the problems are resolved or up to 10 minutes elapse.
