8.6.3 SeaGuard using internal display
1. Mount the Test Unit to the transducer head/DCS according to procedure.
2. Start instrument and switch off forward pinging
3. Open Menu > Administrative Tools > Sensor Monitor to read the speed and direction from sensor.
4. Align the instrument/DCS and the Test Unit so that the orientation slot is in the north direction.
5. Always disregard the first two readings. Read speed and direction
6. Dismount the Test Unit and rotate it 90° without moving the instrument/DCS. Remount the Test Unit to the
instrument/DCS. Read the Current speed and direction.
7. Repeat the 90° increment until you back to the start position.
8. Check that the Direction reading is incremented with approximately 90° after each turning and the Speed reading
is approximately 220cm/s.
9. To check compass keep the ring on and torn instrument/sensor in 90° steps.

under the DCS head and the battery connector to simulate in water condition. This is necessary to start the pinging
on RCM Blue.
2. Start sensor and switch of Forward pinging.
3. Open Graphical tool to read speed direction, Tilt X and Tilt Y, see example on next page.
4. Repeat point 4. to 9. from procedure above.
8.6.5 Stand-alone sensor using terminal software
1. Establish contact with the sensor and switch off Forward pinging
2. Start sensor and read Speed, Direction, Tilt X and Tilt Y from data string
