3 DIAGNOSTIC FOR 1ST LEVEL TROUBLESHOOTING.
This chapter can help you rapidly resolve minor problems which do not require the intervention
of a specialist. Before contacting technical support, please check the troubleshooting table
below.
Problem Possible causes and solutions
The Topline installation does not detect the Loch sounder
interface The bus cable is not or is badly connected to the terminal box : check the
plugging and the connection inside the terminal box. Check the state of
the cables : they must not show any sign of wear or cut.
The surface speed displayed is 0.00, no matter what the speed
of the ship is. Check that the vaned rotor is not clogged (algae, seashells).
Check that the calibration coefficient is not set to 0.00 : see chapter 3.
The surface speed displayed is 0.00 and the water temperature
channel displays « Pan ». It may be that the log sensor is badly connected or broken. Check the
state of the cable and the connection to the box.
The depth-finder displays depth but the display flickers
intermittently.
Your depth-finder is struggling to detect the seabed ; clean the surface of
the depth-finder sensor.
The depth-finder continuously displays a constant depth :
example 2.10 It may be that the depth-finder is detecting the keel and not the seabed.
Please refer to the installation guide of the depth-finder sensor.
Your display indicates battery fault. Check the voltage of your battery with a voltmeter : the operating voltage
must be above 10VDC. Check that the battery maintains the load.
If you do not manage to solve the problem, please contact your distributor.
