  Catherine MortonAug 4, 2025
  If the values displayed on your Veratron Marine Equipment are not as expected, there might be an issue with the sensor configuration. Check the configuration in the Sensors menu. Also, ensure the sensor is connected correctly by referring to the Installation Instructions. A faulty NMEA 2000 network backbone can also cause this problem. Verify the connections and ensure there is termination at both ends of the backbone.

  Kevin HornAug 10, 2025
  If the value is not displayed on your Veratron Marine Equipment, or if only dashes are displayed, it could be due to several reasons. First, the sensor might not be functioning correctly or may not be available on the network, so check that the sensor is functioning correctly. Second, the sensor may not be properly connected. Refer to the Installation Instructions to connect the sensor. Finally, the NMEA 2000 network backbone might not be correctly set up. Ensure the connections are correct and that the backbone is terminated at both ends.

Why does my Veratron Marine Equipment display '--' for speed?
- M
  Mark WoodAug 14, 2025
  If the displayed speed on your Veratron Marine Equipment shows "--", it likely means the GPS module is in the search state. Please wait, as the search operation typically takes about one minute. Once the GPS is valid, the speed will be displayed correctly.

What to do if the Veratron VMH 35 Marine Equipment indicator is backlit but the pointer doesn't move?
- A
  Alicia GarciaAug 25, 2025
  If your Veratron Marine Equipment indicator is backlit but the pointer remains stationary, it could be due to the master not receiving data. First, ensure that the 52 mm indicator is compatible with the master. If compatibility is confirmed, verify that the data is present on the master display.

Why is my Veratron Marine Equipment hand not moving and the indicator not backlit?
- G
  Gerald GarrisonAug 29, 2025
  If the hand on your Veratron Marine Equipment is not moving and the indicator is not backlit, it could be due to the following reasons: * The master is not powered. In this case, check the connections of the master and connect the power supply. * No 52 mm chain indicator is connected to the master. Connect a 52 mm indicator to the master.
