Specifications

REMOTE
-
An
Intelligent "repeater"
unit that receives
depth
information
from another sonar unit. A remote doesn't have a transmitter or receiver.
However,
it does have it's own features that are
adjustable
and
operate
separately
from the master.
RESOLUTION
-
The
ability
of a sonar unit to
separate targets
from each
other or
the bottom.
RMS
-
A standard
rating
of transmitter
power output.
SCALE
-
The
markings
on a sonar unit's
display.
To determine the
depth
ofatarget, simply comparethe target's
location tothe location of the scale
markers on the
display.
SECOND ECHO
-
Another echo that
registers
at
roughly
twice the
depth
of
a
target
echo.
This
is caused
by
the sound waves
reflecting
off the
bottom,
strikingthe
surface of
thewater,
travellingtothe
bottom
again,
and
returing
to
the surface.
SECOND
FUNCTION KEY
-
A button that converts the functions of the
primary keys
on the
keyboard.
Sonarunits with a second function
key
have
other
keys
with two functions. You can switch
functions
with the
second
function
key.
SENSITIVITY
-
The
ability
of
a sonar unit's receiver to
display
targets.
Increasing

Also called
"gain".
SCROLL SPEED
-
See CHART
SPEED.
SFIOOT-TIIROIJGH-HULL
-
A transducer installation which allows the
sonar
signals
to
pass through
a
fiberglass
hull without
cutting
a hole in the
hull.
SUPPRESSION -A method used in some
sonar units
to eliminate interfer-
ence or
noise.
SURFACE CLARITY CONTROL
-
Reduces or eliminates undesirable
sig-
nals
displayed
near the water's
surface. Also called "SCC".

INTRODUCTION
When the lD-6300
Liquid Crystal
Graph (LCG)
is turned
on,
it will
automaticallyfind
and
displaythe
bottom
signal
and
othertargets.
As the
bottom
depth changes,
the
lD-6300 will
automatically change
the
range
and
sensitivity
to
keep
the bottom
signal
on the
display.
If
desired,
the
only key
that needs to be
touched is the ON
key. However,
disabling
the
automatic mode
allows manual
adjustment
of the
lD-6300.
The ID-6300 is
nitrogen
filled
and sealed for
complete
waterproof
protection.
The
liquid crystal display
and
keyboard
are
backlighted
for
easy
use
at
night PIus,
ft's covered
by
a full one
year warranty.
This
includes all
parts
and
labor for one
year
from
the date of
purchase.
To
get
started with
your ID-6300,
first read the installation
section. This
is
where it all
begins,
and
improper
installation can
cause
problems
down
the
road. After
you've
read
theseinstructions and installed
yourlD-6300,
read
the rest of this manual in
detail. The more
you
know when
you get
to the
water,
the more
your
lD-6300 will do for
you.
INSTALLATION
Mounting
Install the lD-6300 in
any
convenient
location,
provided
there is
clearancewhen
tiltedforthe
bestviewing angle.
Holes in the bracket base
allow
wood screw or
through
bolt
mounting.
Attach the bracket to
aluminum
panelswith
sheet metal screws.
Place a
piece
of
plywood
on the
back
of thin
fiberglass panels
to secure
the
mounting
hardware.
Make
certain
there is
enough
room
behind the unit to
attach the
power
and
transducer cables.
You can route the
power
and transducer cables
through
the
7/8"
hole in
the base of the
gimbal
bracket. Then
pass
them
through
a hole in
the
mounting
surface. The smallest
hole that will
pass
one
connector
through
is
3/41,
Pass the
transducer connector and cable
up through
the
hole and
gimbal
bracket. Then
push
the
power
cable wire
down
through
the
bracket and dash. After
routing
the
cables,
fill
the hole with silicone
rubberadhesive
(RTV).
Offsetthe bracketto
coverthe
majority
of the hole.
