900 Series™ Introduction Y our 900 Series™ Ultra Wide Screen Fishing System comes in the f ollowing configuration: • Humminbird® 967c 3D Combo: Ultra Wide Screen Fishing System with Chartplotter (Maps) and Dual Frequency 455 kHz and 83 kHz T ransducer , GPS Receiver included. How the 900 Series™ W orks Sonar technology is based on sound wa[...]

The sound pulses ar e transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. V ery high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance betw een depth performance and resolution. Lo w frequencies (83 kHz) ar[...]

How GPS and Cartogr aphy W ork Y our 900 Series™ Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplotting, and uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underw ater information.

Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring, this can be used to route cables. Be sure to r oute the cable as far as practical from the antenna cable of VHF radios or tachometer cables to r educe the possibility of interference. T he transducer and GPS receiver cables should not be cut, and care should be used not to d[...]

1. Place the control head into the gimbal brack et. Make sure that the straight side of the gimbal arm is against the back side of the control head. 2.

Determine the transducer mounting location Decide where to install the transducer on the inside of the hull. Consider the following to find the best location: • Observe the outside of the boat hull to find the areas that are mostly free from turbulent w ater . Avoid ribs, strakes and other pr otrusions, as these create turbulence. • As a genera[...]

7. Once you have determined the best mounting location using the above steps, mark the position of the tr ansducer . Route the cable 1. Once the mounting location is determined and you hav e marked the position of the transducer , route the cable from the transducer to the control head. P ermanently mount the transducer 1. Make sure the position of[...]

T rolling Motor T ransducer Installation If you want to install the tr ansducer on a trolling motor , use this procedure.
