1 Introduction Congratulations on choosing a NAVMAN fishfinder. For maximum benefit, please read this manual carefully before installation and use. This manual describes the installation and operation procedures for the FISH 4100 and FISH 4150. The manual generally refers to both products as the NAVMAN fishfinder. The product name is used only when describing features specific to that particular fishfinder. The NAVMAN Fishfinder The FISH 4100 is an ultrasonic fishfinder.
2 Getting started Power and transducer connection Power on FISH 4100 To turn the fishfinder on press One end of the integrated transducer / power cable has an 8 pin LT connector plug. Push this plug into the socket located on the rear of the display unit, then turn the collar to lock. Make sure that the collar is secure for a watertight connection. Note: if the ignition wire is connected (see section 5-4) then the fishfinder will turn on automatically when the boat's ignition is turned on.
2-1 Simulation Mode An internal simulator allows users to learn how to operate the fishfinder off the water. power supply of 12 V DC to access the Simulation mode. Contact your nearest NAVMAN dealer. In Simulation mode the word “SIMULATION” flashes on the bottom of the screen. The fishfinder generates data so that all the main screens appear to be operational. Any changes made to the contrast, backlighting, alarms or the display setup are saved.
3-1 ALARMS Alarms can be enabled to automatically detect certain conditions, such as the water being too shallow. The trigger settings for the alarms can be defined to suit the boat and individual preferences. beeping and remove the ALARMS menu. This does not disable the alarm. The symbol will continue to flash until the alarm condition is no longer present. The FISH 4100 has four alarms, TOO SHALLOW, TOO DEEP, FISH ALARM and LOW BATTERY.
Changing the Gain Mode Fish detection and display Gain (sensitivity) controls the amount of detail displayed on the screen. The NAVMAN fishfinder has two gain modes, Auto Gain and Manual Gain: The fish symbol option can be customized, or switched off altogether so that the echoes are not converted to fish symbols on the screen. Section 4-4 explains how to do this.
The following picture shows the HISTORY screen with the fish symbols turned off: Large school of fish Single fish Small school of fish Strength of returned echoes The shading indicates differences in the strength of the returned echo from the bottom. A grey chequered pattern indicates a strong echo and solid black indicates a weak echo. Fish symbols are always shown in black.
NAVMAN fishfinders display the most recent events on the right of the screen. Moving boat 1 minute ago 30 seconds ago Now Air in water (e.g. from wake) When the fish symbol option is ON, any echo returned that fits the profile of a fish is displayed on the screen with a fish symbol. Stationary boat 1 minute ago Now Time When a boat is stationary, all bottom echoes will come from the same small area of bottom. This will produce a flat bottom trace on the screen.
3-4 ZOOM screen Select MAIN MENU - ZOOM to display the ZOOM screen. The ZOOM screen is split into two parts. On the right is the full range section (just like the HISTORY screen) and on the left is the zoom section. Full range section The zoom section shows the area of interest (such as fish or features close to the bottom) in greater detail than the HISTORY screen.
Gain setting Adjusting the Shading Bar These strong echoes will be shown in chequered grey on the Fish History screen The Shading Bar is displayed as a horizontal bar in the lower half of the screen. Use the Shading Bar to choose the strength of the echoes to be displayed in black on the screens. Echoes that are weaker are displayed in black.
3-7 DATA screen (FISH 4150 only) Select MAIN MENU - DATA to display the DATA screen: Battery voltage Speed Temperature The temperature can be displayed in °F (Fahrenheit) or °C (Celsius). Use the SETUP - UNITS - TEMPERATURE menu to select the desired temperature units (see section 4-2). Temperature Graph Alarms that indicate a specific temperature, or rate of change of temperature, may be enabled (see section 4-1). Log. One of two distance logs can be displayed: Trip Log or Total Log.
4 SETUP menu Use the SETUP menu to customize the NAVMAN fishfinder to suit the boat and individual preferences. On a FISH 4150 use the SETUP menu to: · · Specify the trigger settings for the alarms (4-1). Choose the units for depth, temperature and speed (4-2). · Turn the key beep on or off (4-3). · Choose the fish symbol (4-4). · Calibrate the log, temperature and speed (4-6, 4-8). · Select the Trip Log or the Total Log (4-6). · Zero the Trip Log or zero all logs (4-6).
Flashing Light and/or External Beeper (FISH 4150 only) Enabling Alarms and Changing Trigger Values If a secondary alarm indicator is required, a flashing light and/or external beeper can be installed with a FISH 4150. These can be positioned anywhere suitable on the boat. For installation advice see section 5-4. Press or to highlight an alarm, then press select it. To enable or disable an alarm, press switch between ON and OFF.
4-6 LOG menu (FISH 4150 only) Select MAIN MENU - SETUP - LOG to display the available options.

Therefore, the trip log needs to be reset manually each time the user wishes to log a trip. Press or to highlight ZERO TRIP LOG, then press to select it. The message box “ZERO TRIP LOG YES” appears. LOG Selects which log is displayed on the DATA screen, TOTAL or TRIP. Press to select YES or NO.
4-8 CALIBRATION menu (FISH 4150 only) Use this menu to calibrate the water temperature and the boat speed. Calibrating the Speed Select MAIN MENU SETUP - INSTALL CALIBRATION to display the calibration menu. Obtain an accurate measurement of the boat's speed from a GPS receiver; by following another boat travelling at a known speed; or by making a timed run over a known distance. Calibrating the Temperature · Use this to calibrate the boat's speed and log.
5 Installation Correct installation is critical to the performance of the NAVMAN fishfinder. There are two components to install, the display unit and the transducer. It is vital to read the entire installation section of this manual and the documentation that comes with the transducer before attempting installation. 5-1 What comes with this NAVMAN fishfinder? Standard configuration · · Unit FISH 4100 or FISH 4150 display unit. Power cable (the FISH 4100 power cable incorporates the transducer cable).
5-4 Wiring Connection Warning Auto Power Wiring 1 Amp fuses must be positioned where shown in the wiring diagrams. This option is possible on both the FISH 4100 and the FISH 4150. If possible, route the transducer cables away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps and other electrical equipment can affect the unit. Note: Green and white wires are on the FISH 4150 only.
5-5 Connecting a FISH 4150 to other instruments Several NAVMAN instruments can be connected together to share data such as Depth or Speed. The FISH 4150 fishfinder uses the NMEA protocol to output data to other instruments. NMEA NMEA is an industry standard for marine instrument communications. Data sent by one instrument over an NMEA line can be read and displayed by another instrument that accepts NMEA 0183 Version 2.

Appendix B - Troubleshooting This troubleshooting guide is written with the assumption that the user has read and understood the relevant sections in this manual. It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties without having to send the display unit back to the manufacturer for repair. Please follow this troubleshooting section before contacting the nearest NAVMAN dealer. There are no user serviceable parts.
To stop problems from electrical noise, try: - rerouting the power and transducer cable(s) away from the boat’s other electrical wiring. - routing the unit's power cable directly to the battery instead of through a fuse block or ignition switch. 4. Bottom is not displayed: a) The fishfinder may have Manual Range selected and the depth may be outside the range value selected. Either change the fishfinder to Auto Range or select another depth range - see section 3.8.
