– Led
• Flashing – NMEA connection is active
• On – Bottom track is on
• Quick Flashing – error, weight does not move even
current was on, stopped automatically after one
second
Digimodule 2/3
• Configurations are read from memory e.g – several speed settings
– bottom track ranges
– cycle-mode settngs
• Automated auto-up if NMEA connection is lost
(configurable) – Communication in system is 100% solid. Added for
external malfunctions e.g if sonar is turned off
Digimodule 3/3
