Simrad EK80
Wide band scientific echo sounder
Reference Manual
Release 21.15
The purpose of this manual is to provide the descriptions and procedures required to allow for safe and efficient use of the
Simrad EK80. The manual also offers a thorough understanding of the various EK80 operational settings and adjustments.
The software development process is going from a branch-based to a trunk-based process. This enforces the software release numbering to change. The last EK80 software release using branch-based development was 2.0.0. This software release is 21.15.
Caution
You 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.
The information in this manual is also available in the EK80 context-sensitive On-line help.
