Why is my transducer not reading depth?
There are several reasons a transducer might lose a depth reading when travelling at high speeds. It could be related to the transducer’s mounting location, device settings, or the vessel could be outrunning the return signal if it is moving too fast.
How do I know if transducer is working?
The best method to see if a transducer is working or not is to troubleshoot it with a voltmeter. Connect the transducer to the voltmeter, and excite the transducer with the proper excitation voltage. Now measure the voltage output of the transducer at zero load.
