[CA] [CA11] RV-200 transducer with Axiom Pro

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Pete,

Please note that unlike 1kW CHIRP and 50kHz/200kHz transducers, the MFD's Fishfinder feature will not offer a transducer selection feature for RV transducers. The system will automatically detect the presence of RV transducers, DownVision transducers, can CPT-S transducers. As evidenced by the Transducer status icon in the upper right hand corner of the display, the transducer has been sensed and is pinging. The dashed value reported for Depth may indicate one or more of the following:

- the vessel is not in the water,

- the depth of the water beneath the transducer is less than 3',

- an aerated flow of water is passing across the face of the transducer,

- a Transducer Y-Cable has been installed and only one transducer has been interfaced to the Y-Cable,

- the system features more than one source of depth data, or

- there is an issue with the selected/default source of depth data.

Should all of the above have been addressed, then the reported symptom may indicate a problem with the RV-200 transducer or with the Axiom Pro RVX MFD. To fault isolate this problem, it would be recommended that the MFD be interfaced to a RV-100, RV-200, or RV-300 transducer which has been suspended over the side of the hull into the water. Such testing may be performed by a Certified Raymarine Installer. Alternatively, the MFD may be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench checked / serviced.
