[. . . ] Changing the defaults at a later date may have unexpected results: for example, if you change the distance units from nautical miles to kilometres after travelling 50nm, the log recording the total distance travelled will then read 50km. You should keep a record of the default settings you have changed. This chapter covers the following topics: · Using the Setup pages · Setup options · Speed calibration Note: As it leaves the factory, the RayData is set to Master for depth, speed and temperature data: that is, it is set up to receive data from directly connected speed and depth transducers (or, if there are no directly-connected transducers, from NMEA). If the RayData is being used as a Repeater for SeaTalk depth, speed and temperature data, you must specify this in the setup procedure, otherwise this data will not be displayed. Note: When repeating speed and depth information from NMEA, the calibration values, alarms and depth offset have no effect. 28 RAYDATA Installation and Operation Handbook 4. 2 Using the Setup Pages To access the Setup pages, press NAV and Ù together. The following page is displayed: This is the first of the Setup pages, and shows the Depth Units menu, with the current default value highlighted. The initial default setting for depth units is FEET. Use the Ù or Ú key to scroll forwards or backwards through the available menus, without affecting the current settings. Some menus consist of lists of options, from which you can select the appropriate one. Others consist of a value that you can increase of decrease. When the required menu is displayed, press Ú and Ù together to select the menu. Use the Ú or Ù key to scroll down or up the menu options, or to decrease or increase the value displayed. When you have highlighted the required option, or set the value correctly, press Ú and Ù together. This enters the option or value as the new default, and moves on to the next menu. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until you have set all the required defaults. Return to the last-used non-Setup page by pressing NAV and Ù together. All the new entries are then validated. 4. 3 Setup Options The following table lists the Setup menus and their options, shows the factory default setting, and provides a space for you to make a note of your new default setting. Use the Ù key to scroll forwards through the menus in the order shown, or Ú to scroll backwards.

The following subsections provide further information about the remainder. Depth Offset Without a depth offset, the depth value displayed on the RayData will be the distance from the transducer to the bottom. You can adjust the offset value to give the depth from either of the following: · Keel: Reduce the depth offset value to set it to the distance between the transducer and the keel, as a negative value · Waterline: Increase the depth offset value to set it to the distance between the waterline and the transducer, as a positive value The Depth page displays an indication of the type of offset (Keel, Waterline or Transducer) based on whether you set a negative or positive value here, or leave the value set to zero. Note: If you have just changed the depth units in the previous setup page, the units for the depth offset calibration will not be updated until you have left the Setup Chapter and then reselected it. When you adjust the depth offset, the maximum value (positive or negative) and the resolution you can enter depends on the depth units, as follows: Units Feet Metres Fathoms Maximum 10. 0 3. 0 2. 0 Resolution 0. 1 0. 1 0. 1 Chapter 4: Setup and Calibration 31 Sounder Control The Sounder Control menu allows you to turn the internal depth sounder transmitter off, without switching off the RayData. [. . . ] Always quote the serial number when returning a unit for servicing. This is shown on the product label on the rear of the RayData. 66 RAYDATA Installation and Operation Handbook Appendix A: Key Functions 67 Appendix A: Key Functions The function of each of the five RayData keys depends on: · The circumstances in which it is pressed: that is, the information that is currently displayed on the screen · The way in which it is pressed: that is, whether you press the key momentarily or press and hold it · Whether it is pressed in combination with other keys The following table reviews the functions of all the RayData key presses, including combination key presses, depending on how they are pressed and in what circumstances.

If you are using your RayData as part of a larger system, the data displayed may be received from other sources via SeaTalk or NMEA connections. This appendix provides information on the prioritised sources of data for your RayData when it is part of a larger system. 70 RAYDATA Installation and Operation Handbook B. 1 Possible Configurations You can use your RayData as a stand-alone system, with its own directconnected transducers.
