Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom (Figure 8). 3. U se either a flat head screwdriver, a 5/16" (8mm) hex driver, or a 5/16" (8mm) socket to mount th[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Six - Route the Cable There are several ways to route the transducer c able to the to the area where the control head will be installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat. Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring that the cable can be [...]

INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION Inside the hull installation requires the mount system and control head be installed and operational. See Installing the Control Head for instruction on installing the unit. Inside the hull mountin g generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass - hulled boats. [...]

INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION 3. Power up the Control Head. 4. Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the Control Head. If the unit functions well at low speeds but b egins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer needs to be moved. If depth performance is required, test the fish[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step One - Determine Where to Mount Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head. Consider the following to determine best location: • The cables for power, transducer and temp/speed accessories (if applicable) should be installed first and must reach the mo[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION and one amp fuse (not inc luded) for the protection of the unit (Figure 21). Humminbird is not responsible for over voltage or over current failures. In order to minimize the potential for interference with other marine electronics a separate power source (such as a second batter y) may be necessary. Step Thre[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step Five - Assembling the Connector Holder 1. Insert the cabl e connectors into the connector holder. The cable connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the connector holder (Figure 26).

Simply press the POWER button and the unit will locate and track the bottom from 2' to 600' changing ranges as necessary, display any structure or suspended fish and work at speeds from 0 to over 70 mph. If POWER is the only button you use, you will benefit fro[...]

WHAT YOU SEE ON - SCREEN Your Tour Series uses a 64 x 128 matrix Supe rTwist LCD display. This type of display provides outstanding viewability in all light conditions over a wide range of temperatures. The presentation of information on - screen may take one of several forms depending on the type of transducer being used, whe ther or not the Temp/[...]

INTERPRETING THE ON - SCREEN INFORMATION Figure E shows a typical view you can expect to see on - water. New sonar information appears on the right side of the graphic area of the display and moves to the lef t as new information is displayed. The Tour Series automatically selects the appropriate depth range to show the depth of water beneath the t[...]

Sonar targets which are not physically a ttached to the bottom may take one of many shapes. Surface clutter is the layer of water near the surface which is rich in algae and other growth, and often is aerated by wind or wave action. This area of water interferes with sonar transmission and often appears on - screen as regular clusters of individual[...]

POWER, powers the Tour Series up for normal operation. When the unit is on, POWER turns the unit off. POWER can also be used to go directly into Simulator mode. With the unit powered off, press and hold POWE R for several seconds until a continuous chirp is heard. LIGHT controls the unit's 3 - position display backlight. With the unit powered [...]

All menus use the same basic layout as shown in Figure F The heading at the top describes the menu function (see Control Functions for more details on individual functions).
