I called them. They do not have any. They want me to send them the unit and $150 so they can look at it.

What's not working? My sounder died a few years ago, I sent it to them, they fixed it, updated the alarm module and it's been fine ever since. What's a manual gonna tell you if it isn't working?

Thanks Warren. I took it apart and found one diode bad and replaced it. It seems to be working now. I didn't have the manual to tell me how it operated. I appreciate the help. I am also going to replace the RCA jack because it is corroded. Other than that, it seems to be fine.

bad crimp

Had it on my old boat. Took 3 years to figure out the root cause. Very intermittent symptom = "---" on the display.

The RCA socket on the back of the diaplay goes to a pair of crimped connectors which plugs onto the citcuit board. The crimp was bad. Soldered them fixed it for good.

It's a good unit.

After replacing the diode, I soldered a new RCA socket on and put a new RCA plug on the wire. It seems to be ok now. Thanks for the input.
