3. MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING 3.3 Transducer Maintenance WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Marine life on the transducer face will result in a gradual decrease in sensitivity. Check the transducer face for cleanliness each time the boat is dry-docked. Carefully remove any marine life with a piece of wood or fine-grade sandpaper. Do not open the equipment. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment. 3.1 Maintenance Regular maintenance is essential for good performance.
3.6 Troubleshooting 3.7 Diagnostics The table below provides basic troubleshooting procedures which the user may follow to restore normal operation. If you feel your unit is not working properly, conduct the diagnostic test to find the problem. If you cannot restore normal operation, contact your dealer for advice. Troubleshooting table If… neither echo nor fixed range scale appears no echo appears but the fixed range scale appears 1. Turn on the power while pressing the [MENU/ESC] key.
4. The ROM, RAM and NMEA port are checked, with the results shown as OK or NG (No Good). For any NG, request service. (A special connector is required to test the NMEA port. Nothing appears if no connector is connected.) 5. The squares at the right side of the test display are for checking the controls. Press each key and the arrows on the Cursor Pad one by one. A control’s corresponding on-screen square “lights” in black if the control is normal. 6.
4. INSTALLATION 4.1 Display Unit Flush mounting in a panel Mounting considerations See the instructions on the flush mounting template (supplied). The display unit can be installed on a desktop, on the overhead or flush mounted in a panel. When choosing a mounting location keep the following in mind: 4.2 Thru-hull Mount Transducer Transducer mounting location • Keep the display unit out of direct sunlight. • The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.
• A practical choice would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the boat’s length from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical location is generally rather far astern, so that the transducer is always in water regardless of the planing attitude.
Hole for stuffing tube BOW Upper Half D D>50 cm Lower Half Saw along slope of hull. Flat Hull Construction of fairing block Deep-V Hull Transom mount transducer mounting locations 3. Drill a hole just large enough to pass the threaded stuffing tube of the transducer through the hull, making sure it is drilled vertically. 4.
Transducer preparation Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer thoroughly with a detergent liquid soap. This will lessen the time necessary for the transducer to have good contact with the water. Otherwise the time required for complete “saturation” ill be lengthened and performance will be reduced. 5° Tape Transom mount transducer, mounting flush with hull DO NOT paint the transducer. Performance will be affected. Installing the transom mount transducer on a deep-V hull 4.
5. Press the [PROG] key to show the pop-up window for automatic/manual selection. 6. Press ▲to choose Manual. 7. Press the [MENU/ESC] key.. 8. Press the [GAIN] key to set the gain to “5” and then press the [MENU/ESC] key. 9. Press the [RANGE] key to set the range to 10 meters (feet) and then press the [MENU/ESC] key. 10. If the bottom is displayed in dark gray and the depth indication appears, the mounting location is suitable. Go to “Final preparation.” 11.
Water-based antifouling paint (mandatory in salt water). φ79 mm Mounting location 133 mm 2.00"-12 UN threads φ51 mm 27 mm To ensure the best performance, the sensor must be submerged in aeration-free and turbulence-free water. Mount the sensor close to the centerline of the boat. On slower heavier displacement hulls, positioning it farther from the centerline is acceptable. 7 mm 140 mm Allow adequate space above the bracket for it to release and rotate the sensor upward.
1-4 in “Attaching the Sensor to the Bracket”, before proceeding with “Adjusting”. Installation of bracket 1. Cut out the installation template shown on the next page. 2. At the selected location, position the template, so the arrow at the bottom is aligned with the bottom edge of the transom. Being sure the template is parallel to the waterline, tape it in place. Adjusting 1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside of the sensor relative to the underside of the hull.

Using the vertical adjustment space on the bracket slots, slide the sensor up or down to provide a projection of 3 mm (1/8”). Tighten the screws. 3. If the bracket has been temporarily fastened to the transom, remove it.
1. If a hole must be drilled, choose a location well above the waterline. Check for obstructions such as trim tabs, pumps, or wiring inside the hull. Mark the location with a pencil. Drill a hole through the transom using a 19 mm or 3/4” bit (to accommodate the connector). 2. Route the cable over or through the transom. 3. On the outside of the hull secure the cable against the transom using the cable clamps. Position a cable clamp 50 mm(2”) above the bracket and mark the mounting hole with a pencil. 4.
