How to fix tilted bottom sensor

This document explains how to fix a bottom sensor with to high tilt angle.

Background:
The tilt angle might get to high if the bottom sensors TILT-stop-knot gets loose or slips on the cable. When the tilt angle is above 30 degrees the data is discarded and causes gaps in the echograms.

It is important that there is more than enough slack on the cable below the knot, to make sure the knot takes the beating and not the connector on the sensor

When the knot is done, test it by trying to force it up- or down the cable. If you are unable to do so, the knot is secure.
