Sensor Pretests

tip

Before testing the sensor make sure you're running the latest firmware

Dry test for comms and power check

1. Connect the sensor to your power and comms and switch on
2. Disable the immersion sensor (S/N >300200)
3. Scano to check output

Example output:

$ANB,7C92,2000:00:00:00:12:50,99.99,99.99,0.0,0.0,4,1,0,0,0000007,

note

When power cycled the immersion sensor defaults to enabled

Test for sensor accuracy

1. Connect the sensor to your power and comms and switch on
2. Abrade the transducer
3. Immerse sensor in seawater
4. Scano to check output
