Quick Start

This document covers the initial setup and operation of the unit (standalone).

Hardware Setup

1. Make the necessary connections for power and Ethernet. Don't mount the sonar to your vessel quite yet, we need to calibrate the accelerometers on a level surface first.

2. Apply power to the unit. The status LED should begin to pulse.

Status LED

Software Setup

Install SonarView (1.10.0 or higher recommended)

Testing & Calibration

1. Launch SonarView. If your device is powered on and reachable, it should appear in Device Discovery. Change the IP Address of the device if necessary (or enable DHCP), then click Connect.

   

   NOTE: You will need to choose a valid IP address for your setup, some information on this topic can be found here.
2. Place the Surveyor on a level surface and calibrate the accelerometer using the menu on the left side.

3. Enable "Waterfall" on the right side and start pinging. Some points should appear in the 3D viewer.

4. If all is well, you are ready to do your first in-water test. Refer to the SonarView docs for general information on how to use SonarView.
