The Store/Recall menu is used to store single display pictures or a sequence or pictures. The stored pictures can easily be recalled for evaluation or comparing schools. Parameters Store - This is the "record" button to start the storage sequence. Print - Allows you to print the stored picture to the default printer (if any). The following other parameters are available: Store, page 135 Store Mode, page 135 Recall, page 124 Recall Mode, page 124 The Close button closes this menu.

The System test menu provides several test routines available to perform operational and functional tests. These tests are designed only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Parameters Test Configuration - This function is only to be activated by qualified service engineers. Test Function - This function is only to be activated by qualified service engineers. Toggle TxPower - This function is only to be activated by qualified service engineers. Test Beam - This function is only to be activated by qualified service engineers. Echo Level - This button provides a readout of the current noise in the waters surrounding the vessel. This noise is caused by air bubbles, water flow and mechanical disturbances from hull and engine. In order to obtain the best possible sonar result, the noise level readout should be as close to 0. 0 dB as possible. Roll - This is not a button, it is a readout from the sensor of the actual roll value at the time of the last transmission. Pitch - This is not a button, it is a readout from the sensor of the actual pitch value at the time of the last transmission. TRU Temp- This button provides a readout of the current temperature inside the Transceiver Unit. If the temperature rises to an unacceptable level, an alarm will be given.

C 157 Simrad SH80 Docking the vessel When docking the vessel, great care must be taken not to damage the sonar trunk and protecting blister. Warning: The sonar must never be powered up when the ship is in dry dock. To prevent inadvertent use of the sonar, disconnect the mains plug on the Sonar Processor Unit whenever the vessel is in dry dock. The location of S302 in the Motor Control Unit 158 850-164385 / Rev. C On-board maintenance On vessels which have been in dock, the Hull Unit must be thoroughly examined, and the hoist/lower functions must be checked out and observed while operating the Hoist/Lower Switch (S302 in the Motor Control Unit). The hoist/lower motor will automatically stop when the transducer shaft reaches the upper or lower limit switch. [. . . ]
