531440-1_B - HDR610 Manual_Eng.qxd 10/12/2005 11:05 AM Page 6 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW INSTALLING THE HDR 610 Before you start installation, we encourage you to read these instructions carefully in order to get the full benefit from your HDR 610 Digital Depth Gauge. You will install your HDR 610 depthsounder first, then your transducer. When you are done with both of these installation tasks, you should perform a final installation test before operating your HDR 610.

Consider different positions on the console or deck of the boat. Remember that the cables for the transducer and power must reach the mounting location. Extension cables are available. The mounting surface should be visible to the boat operator and adequately supported to protect the HDR 610 from excessive wave shock and vibration.

Connecting the Transducer Cable Once you have your mounting hole cut, perform the following steps: Connect the transducer cable to the transducer connector on the HDR 610. 1. Insert the HDR 610 from the front of the panel. 2. Install the "U" bracket and wingnut from the rear of the panel, and make sure that the face of the HDR 610 is oriented correctly, so that the top of the unit is at the top of the hole.
531440-1_B - HDR610 Manual_Eng.qxd 10/12/2005 11:05 AM Page 12 TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION If you have a transom mount transducer you can mount it on the transom (preferred), in the hull, or you can purchase the trolling motor adapter and mount it on your trolling motor. If you have a puck transducer then you can ONLY mount it in the hull; there is a separate inside the hull mounting section for puck transducers. Find the correct section for your transducer installation type.
531440-1_B - HDR610 Manual_Eng.qxd 10/12/2005 11:05 AM 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver and a 7/16" wrench, loosely tighten the pivot bolt. Do not completely tighten the assembly at this time, so the pivot angle can be adjusted later. Page 14 Toothed Lock Washer 3. Only if you have a Kick-up transducer mounting assembly, insert the pivot/transducer assembly into the mounting bracket. 3.

Remove the plate, drill two 9/64" dia. (3.5 mm) x 5/8" deep (16 mm) holes, then fill both holes with marine-grade silicone sealant. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and attach with two #8 x 5/8" (16 mm) wood screws. 4.

Once the mounting location is determined and you have marked the position of the transducer, route the cable from the transducer to the depthsounder. CAUTION! Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable, and try not to damage the cable insulation. Route the cable as far as possible from any VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference.
531440-1_B - HDR610 Manual_Eng.qxd 10/12/2005 11:05 AM Page 20 NOTE: It is often necessary to make several incremental transducer adjustments before optimum high speed performance is achieved. 4. Once you have obtained successful test results, you must install the third mounting screw for transom mount transducer installations. IMPORTANT: For Transom Mount transducer installations, install the third mounting screw after the final transducer adjustments. Hand tighten only. 5a.
531440-1_B - HDR610 Manual_Eng.qxd 10/12/2005 11:05 AM Page 22 3. Place the transducer body face down on the inside of the hull in the area you have selected. 4. Fill the hull with enough water to submerge the transducer body. Use a sand-filled bag or other heavy object to hold the transducer in position. The transducer cannot transmit through air, and the water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull, and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface. 3.
531440-1_B - HDR610 Manual_Eng.qxd 10/12/2005 11:05 AM Page 24 OPERATING THE HDR 610 SHALLOW ALARM Your HDR 610 Digital Depth Gauge sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object. As your HDR 610 transducer receives sonar signals, it converts them to a digital depth that is shown on the HDR 610 display. The depth reading is continuously updated as you travel across the water.

After your selection is made, wait 5 seconds for the unit to return to normal operation. The selected Units icon should now be visible. 2. Use the UP Arrow key to activate the Deep Alarm and also to increase the selected value. Use the DOWN Arrow key to reduce the value.
531440-1_B - HDR610 Manual_Eng.qxd 10/12/2005 11:05 AM Page 28 MAINTENANCE To keep both your HDR 610 and your transducer working properly, perform the following maintenance tasks as needed. 3. To enable Keel Offset, press the SET key until the KO icon is displayed on the screen. HDR 610 MAINTENANCE 4. The available settings are +10 to -10 units. The default setting of the unit is Off, which is displayed as zero (0.0). From the default setting of 0.
