High Speed Transducer

530506-2_B

Connecting the Cable

Insert the transducer cable into the appropriate terminal slot. The cable

connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the cable holder

on the rear of the fishfinder. The slots are keyed to prevent reversed

installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the holder.

Refer to your manual and/or control head installation guide for the correct

procedure for installing the cable connectors to the fishfinder.

Test and Finish the Installation

Your fishfinder is now ready for operation.

When you have installed both the control head and the transom transducer,

and have routed all the cables, you must perform a final test before locking the

transducer in place. Testing should be performed with the boat in the water,

although you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat out of the

water.

1. Press POWER once to turn the control head on. If the unit does not power-up,

make sure that the Connector Holder is fully seated in the receptacle and that

power is available.

2. If all connections are correct and power is available, the Humminbird® control

head will enter Normal operation.

NOTE: The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer

detection.

3. If the bottom is visible on-screen with a digital depth readout, the unit is

working properly. Make sure that the boat is in water greater than 2' but less

than the depth capability of the unit, and that the transducer is fully

submerged, since the sonar signal cannot pass through air.

4. If the unit is working properly, gradually increase the boat speed to test high-

speed performance. If the unit functions well at low speeds but begins to skip

or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer requires adjustment.

Angling the rear of the transducer downward and/or lowering the transducer

farther into the water will help achieve depth readings at high speeds.

NOTE: It is often necessary to make several incremental transducer

adjustments before optimum high speed performance is achieved. Due to the

wide variety of boat hulls, however, it is not always possible to obtain high

speed depth readings.

Once you have reached a consistently good sonar signal at the desired

speeds, you are ready to lock down the transducer settings.

5. Mark the transducer bracket on the transom with a pencil, then pop up the

bracket to reveal the mounting screws. Tighten the stainless steel mounting

bracket’s screws to secure in place. Hand-tighten only.

Maintenance

If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other

marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically

clean the face of the transducer with hot water. Pivoting the transducer up in

the bracket may allow better access for inspection or cleaning.

If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take

some time to wet the transducer after it is returned to the water. Small air

bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper

operation. These bubbles will dissipate with time, or you may wipe the face of

the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.
