1 Turning on the EK80 system
To use the EK80 system, you must first turn it on. You must first turn on the display, the Processor Unit, the transceiver(s) and the Ethernet switch (if applicable).After this you can start the EK80 software.
Prerequisites
The EK80 system is installed as specified in the Installation Manual. Minimum one transceiver with one or more transducers has been connected. All relevant navigation sensors are operational.
CautionYou must never set the EK80 system to "ping" unless the transducer is submerged in water. Most transducers are damaged beyond repair if they transmit in open air. Prevent inadvertent use of the EK80 system whenever a transducer is not submerged.
