Autohelm tri data
I have an autohelm tridata log and depthsounder.
The depth function is intermittent. I have changed the transducer which seemed to fix the problem for a time but it has reoccurred. Any ideas? Alec |

No, underside has been checked.
I was thinking of electrical failures which have been seen before. Alec "Lynn Coffelt" wrote in message ... "Alec" wrote in message ... I have an autohelm tridata log and depthsounder.

Old Chief Lynn I had same problem, in my case it turned out to be the instrument. Same here, but with a ST40 Bi data instrument. Ramarine support suggested I re-configure it, which I tried, but to no avail.. Eventually it did not work with either the speed or the depth transducer. The transducers work fine if I substitute a different instrument. By the time I got another instrument to test the transducers with, the original was just out of warranty. It works fine as a Seatalk repeater. |
I had the same problem on my ST50 tridata during my holiday last week.
I opened the device and noticed it was very wet inside. Just clean the PCB, put it together and try again. Niels "Steve Thomas" schreef in bericht .. . "G P Berry" wrote in message ...
