These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a normal installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an output on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.

NAVMAN DEPTH 2100 Installation and Operation Manual 3 1 Operation Whenever power is applied the depth sounder is active and water depth is displayed. If the sonar signal does not show a bottom the display will indicate "- -". This can occur if the water is aerated or the maximum depth is exceeded. Note: The maximum depth decreases as boat speed increases. 3. Use and to change the value. If either key is held depressed for more than one second the reading will increase or decrease rapidly. 4. When the alarm is set, exit by pressing both and simultaneously. Alternatively, if no keys are pressed for a period of 5 seconds the normal depth display will resume. ON Alarms Two types of alarms can be set; the Deep Alarm and the Shallow Alarm. The Deep Alarm can be set as high as 184 metres (605 feet) while the Shallow Alarm can be set as low as 0.3 metre (1 foot). Whenever the water depth is greater than the Deep Alarm setting and the alarm is enabled an alarm will sound. The alarm repeats two short beeps and alternates DAL and the water depth on the display. Whenever the water depth is less than the Shallow Alarm setting and the alarm is enabled an alarm will sound. The alarm repeats a single long beep and alternates SAL and the water depth on the display. ^ V OFF Press simultaneously to exit Note: If the reading is decreased to below 1.5 feet (or equivalent) the display will show OFF and the alarm will be disabled. The alarm can also be disabled by pressing both and for 5 seconds. The word OFF will be displayed but the alarm depth will be retained for future use. Alarms On/Off Alarm settings are saved in memory. To turn the alarm on, press (ON). An arrow on the lower right corner of the display will show (next to the Alarm Bell), to indicate that the alarms are on. Deep Alarm To set the deep alarm: 1. Press show: for three seconds. The display will To turn the alarms off, press (OFF). The arrow in the lower right corner will extinguish. 120 ON # ^ V OFF Note: The arrow will flash if alarms are turned ON but the shallow alarm is individually set to OFF. See next section. 120 2. After two seconds the display will indicate the current Deep Alarm depth setting. dAL Press for 3 Seconds V OFF # V OFF and to change the 3. Use value. If either key is held depressed for more than one second the reading will increase or decrease rapidly. 850 Shallow Alarm To set the shallow alarm: 1. Press show: for three seconds. The display will Press for 3 OFF 4. When the alarm is set, exit by pressing both and simultaneously. Alternatively, if no keys are pressed for a period of 5 seconds the normal depth display will resume. ON ^ V OFF 2. After a few seconds the display will indicate the current Shallow Alarm depth setting. 4 SAL ON ^ Seconds V 851 Press simultaneously to exit Note: If the reading is increased one step above 600 feet (or equivalent) the display will show OFF and the alarm will be disabled. The alarm can also be disabled by pressing both and for 5 seconds. The word OFF will be displayed but the alarm depth will be retained for future use. NAVMAN DEPTH 2100 Installation and Operation Manual 2 Instrument Setup Keel/Surface Offset An offset may be automatically added to or subtracted from the depth reading to compensate for the location of the transducer. This allows the instrument to indicate the water depth relative to the bottom of the keel or the surface of the water. To set the keel/surface offset: 1. Apply power while holding down ON 8. To exit this mode, press and hold both and simultaneously. Alternatively, if no keys are pressed for a period of 5 seconds normal depth display will resume. ON ^ V OFF Press simultaneously . OFF ^ V The display will now indicate the current water depth. Transducer Setting A Transducer Setting is provided to allow the Depth 2100 to be used with different transducer types. The default setting (= 0.0) is used for most transducers. Some transducers `ring' after the sonar transmit pulse (just like hitting a bell). This ringing can be interpreted as an echo from a shallow bottom. The setting is used to increase the required level that shallow echoes must meet before they will be displayed. If the Depth 2100 gives repeated false readings of 1.5 to 3 feet depth while in deep water the transducer setting should be increased. Adjust it upward by 0.5 at a time and retest. The range of values is -0.9 to +2.5. If the value is set too high it could cause erratic readings in shallow water. Changing the Transducer Setting: Hold down during power up 2. When the unit is on, release . The display will indicate if the current offset is keel offset or waterline offset: Hull Offset (Depth below the keel) Surface Offset (Depth below the surface) 3. After 5 seconds the display will indicate the current offset. 1. Apply power while holding down . The display will show either HOF or SOF for 7 seconds. Continue to hold the key down. 2. The display will show tdr. Note: A negative offset is used to display depth below the keel and a positive offset is used to display depth below the surface. 4. Use and to change the value. If either key is held depressed for more than one second the reading will increase or decrease rapidly. 5. The offset can be programmed in 0.1 unit steps from -9.9 to 9.9 feet (or equivalent). When programmed for a negative offset, `-' will be indicated on the left hand side of the display. 6. To display depth below the keel enter the vertical distance between the bottom of the keel and the depth transducer as a negative value. 7. To display depth below surface enter the vertical distance from the waterline to the depth transducer as a positive number (no negative sign). NAVMAN DEPTH 2100 Installation and Operation Manual 3. Release the key. 4. After 2 seconds the display will show the Transducer Setting value eg 0.0. 5. Use and to change the value. and 6. To exit this mode, press and hold both simultaneously. tdr Units of Measure To select the displayed unit 1. Apply power while holding down . V OFF Hold down during power up 5 2.

ON ^ V OFF Press simultaneously The display will now indicate the current water depth in the selected display unit. 3 Dual Station Operation Multiple Depth 2100 instruments can be installed on a single vessel. These instruments can be connected together and configured to operate in a dual station configuration. One instrument is designated as a master and all other instruments, connected to it, are configured as slaves. The master device is connected to the depth transducer and determines the water depth. This information is then displayed on all slave devices connected to it. Slave devices do not have transducers connected to them. The slave devices can be configured to operate as fully functional NMEA repeaters where they display water depth, as displayed on the master device, and share common alarm settings and keel offset values. In this mode the common alarm settings can be changed or activated/deactivated from either the master or slave devices. Alternatively, the slaves can be configured to operate as independent slaves. In this mode the slaves display the water depth received from the master, but have independent alarm settings and keel offset values. Note: The instrument designated as the master device is the only instrument connected to the depth transducer. 4. Use Master/Slave Selection To select the master/slave mode of operation: 1. Apply power while holding down . V OFF Hold down during power up 2. When the unit is on. The display will indicate the current display unit: 8Ft example until the display indicates 3. Continue to hold the current master/slave selection. Master and Slave to change the selection. 5. To exit this mode, press and hold both and simultaneously. Alternatively ...
