Why is my ssi locking up like this some days it will do it once some days it will do it a dozen times. Temp or depth dosent seem to bother itAttachment 113636

1. Do you have the latest software in your HDS unit?
2. Can you take picture of your lss-1 transducer and show how its mounted.
3. try a different ethernet port on your lss box.
4. also take it off auto range on the left and right scan. see if that helps too.
5. by change can you borrow another ethernet cord..if so, try running that one between the box and the unit.
Scotty, is your transducer mounted on the TM? I see some oscillations on the screen that shouldn't be there unless it is TM mounted. The oscillations would be where the white line widen on the SI. Just curious.
its on transomQuote:

nothing else is running when this happens sometimesQuote:

Scotty, were you turning hard left or right? Also put a little di electric grease on your connections. <*)}}}><
I think your lss transducer is picking up the 2d transducer..going by your picture..
why dosent it do it all the time?Quote:

dont know havent tried thatQuote:

The 2d transducer might be blocking the SI signal thus getting a double echo
It was my understanding that all pings were serially time slotted.
I'm not saying that..It might be picking up the mold/body of the skimmer transducer.. Most people put the LSS transducer on lower side of the 2d skimmer transducer.Quote:

I am puzzled with this particular complaint. I wanna know so I will know what to do if it happens to my stuff (and others too).
Keep us informed scott. I dunno.

Why would any signal blocking cause a lockup? Why would it not be consistent? Where is the "blockage on scotts snapshot?
This was my first thought too. Looks as if the ducers are located too close to each other. I think I remember the installation instructions stating that they should be at least a foot apart.Quote:
