Active Target 2 freezing up

[78Staff]

Was the case ground wire installed from module to neg on battery, it must its own isolated ground and cannot carry load or be shared, very important?

Most DYS guys skip this, I have seen this omission several times when cleaning up their work..

Is this for AT2 only, or AT1 as well. I don't think my AT1 is grounded this way, ie no ground wire off the AT1 module at all. But I will double check. It was dealer installed, previous owner had it done). I've actually considering adding another AT1 so I can run scout and forward at same time since AT1 prices are dropping and AT2 has so many problems right now.

Yes sir, it is in the install instructions and the small screw required was in the small parts kit.

Well dang, thanks for nothing unknown Marine Shop Installer... guess I have another project to add to the list. Although technically it does say optional, which I guess is shop code for "don't bother with it..."

I'm sure i don't have that little screw since AT was installed when previous owner had boat, so will head to HD and try to find a small M4 screw I reckon.



Not sure about bonded/unbonded... so best to run directly to Neg lug on battery, or would connecting to blue sea neg bus bar suffice?

Going to the buss bar will suffice, that lead to the buss bar should be coming straight from the battery terminal anyways.

yeah it does, strait from neg terminal, about 12" away :). Perfect.

Also, found this little guy in the "random parts" bag the dealer gave me when I bought the boat, and it does have that little screw :).
