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. Test 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 bubbels, water flow and mechnical disturbances from hull and engine. In order to obtain the besst 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 unacceptable levels, and alarm will be given. [. . . ] The hoist/lower motor will automatically stop when the transducer shaft reaches the upper or lower limit switch. Remember to set the hoisting/lowering switch back to Remote for normal operation. 160 850-164575 / Rev. D On-board maintenance Cleaning the transducer The transducer normally needs little attention. However, the transducer face should be inspected and cleaned whenever the vessel is in dock. To lower the transducer when in dock, use the hoist/lower switch S302 in the Motor Control Unit (mounted on the gantry). [. . . ]
