Manual should always be kept on board! Preface With the purchase of an instrument of the VDO marine program you sel- ected a high-quality product, made to the accepted State of the Art. Advanced production methods and the respect of the applicable quality assurance standards guarantee that our products are shipped in excel- lent condition.
Please note that all volatile electronic memories will lose their contents, and will have to be re-programmed if you disconnect the battery. The VDO instruments are not equipped with volatile memories. Risk of explosion! Run the engine compartment blower for a certain time before starting work in a gasoline engine compartment.
SAFETY supply. The electrical outputs of the depth sounder indicating instrument and the connected cables must be protected against any direct contact or dama- Capacitors in the unit can retain their charge, even if the unit is separa- ted from its power supply. The cables must have a sufficient insulation resistance or voltage rating, and touching the contact points should be prevented.
Analog scale Display Pushbutton The VDO depth sounder is an advanced depth measuring instrument designed for sport navigation. The pointer indicates the water depth below the keel in meters or feet on an analog scale when the system is active. This value is also shown as a digital value by the display in the lower dial section.
The acoustical alarm can be muted by activating the pushbutton. Check the connection of the indicating instrument to the echo sounder first. Defective contacts may have caused the alarm. If the alarm continues, although the connection is perfect, please contact your VDO agency.
BASIC CALIBRATION Basic calibration of the VDO Depth Sounder Selection of the unit Setting the keel depth Keep the pushbutton pressed and switch the indicating instrument po- wer supply on. Wait until the display shows „UNIT“. Release the pushbutton. The current unit setting (feet in the example) is displayed.
BASIC CALIBRATION / ALARM cally. The unit now displays the water depth below keel (4.6 m in the ex- ample). Setting and activating the shallow water alarm In unsafe depths and in waters with unknown depths the alarm will warn you in time to avoid shallows and to prevent boat damages.

ALARM The acoustic alarm can be switched off by pressing the button. It stops automatically when the depth below keel is greater than the set thres- hold. The alarm function is deactivated if the button is quickly pushed twice when the current depth (2.7 m in the example) is displayed. Push button Push button...
Even signs of the slightest wear require O-ring replacement. Order number: N05 801 418 O-ring for echo sounder / blind plug (2x). Installation of the VDO Depth Sounder system Please read the safety instructions on pages 28 and 29 prior to the installation.

INSTALLATION Thread the indicating instrument cables from behind the mounting hole through the housing mounting nut. Place the supplied black rubber ring on the instrument back. Make the electrical connections of the indicating unit per cir- cuit schematically (see „Electrical installation“) and insert the instrument into the installation hole.
INSTALLATION Installation of the Depth Sounder The echo sounder unit must be installed in a turbulence-free zone in the hull. It should be mounted vertically. Do not install the sending unit close to external valves, anodes, log sending units, etc. to avoid influences by tur- bulence.
INSTALLATION Installation on powerboats: First Stringer Depth sending unit Installation of the echo sounder: internal installation An internal installation of the echo sounder is only possible on ships with a fiberglass reinforced hull. This does not apply to fiberglass sandwich hulls.

INSTALLATION The echo sounder can be definitely fixed when you have found the opti- mum location. Install the echo sounder by bonding it with a salt-water resistant sealant. Install the echo sounder: Sealant Fixation by sealant: Avoid air bubbles between echo sounder and hull.
INSTALLATION Installation of the echo sounder: through-hull installation Make a hole, 53 mm diameter, at the selected location. The hull thick- ness should not exceed 36 mm. Camber the hole out at 45 degrees for good sealant distribution and to obtain a reliable seal.

INSTALLATION Insert the echo sounder into the hull sleeve and align the hole in the upper sounder section with the holes in the sleeve. Secure the sounder by inserting the retainer pin through the holes. Lock the retainer pin by installing the rings at both pin ends. Tie the control rope of the blind plug to one of the retainer pin rings.
INSTALLATION Connection of a repeater Make the power supply con- nection for the repeater the same as the main unit (see page 44). The connection bet- ween the main and the repea- ter, including the alarm buzzer, is shown in the diagram below. Main-unit Repeater Note that the unit, keel depth...
INSTALLATION Advice on the connection of the alarm buzzer: If the alarm is triggered by the main-unit, the alarm buzzer will send a permanent sound. If the alarm is triggered by the repeater, the alarm buzzer will send an in- termittent sound.
