3.7 Selecting a location for the transducer 3 This product is supplied with a transom mount transducer. The guidelines below should be followed when selecting a location for the transducer. 1 2 Note: The transducer is not suitable for mounting on vessels where the transom is aft of the propeller(s). 4 For best performance the transducer must be installed in a location with the least turbulence and aeration.
3.8 Cable routing 3.9 Selecting a location for the display Cable routing requirements for the transducer cable. General location requirements Important: To avoid interference, the cable must be routed as far away from VHF radio antenna cables as possible. • The cable can be routed through or over the transom. • Check that the cable is long enough to reach the equipment that it will be connected to. An optional 4 m (13.1 ft) extension cable is available if required.
5.7 inch display product dimensions When choosing a suitable location for the display you should aim to maintain the maximum possible distance between the display and any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the display this far away from a compass. In this situation, the following figures provide the minimum safe distance that should be maintained between the display and any compasses.
3.10 Installation process The steps listed below are required to successfully install your product and ensure optimum performance. 1. Mounting the transducer. 2. Mounting the display. 3. Testing the transducer. 4. Finishing the transducer mounting.

4.1 Mounting the transducer The transducer must be mounted on the transom using the mounting bracket provided. The steps below describe the initial mounting steps required in order to test your transducers performance. After testing the transducer you must finish the mounting following the instructions in the Finishing the transducer mounting section. 1. Fix the transducer mounting template to the selected location, using masking or self-adhesive tape. 6.
9. Push the transducer and pivot arm down until the bracket clicks into place. 10. Loosen the transducer pivot bolt approximately 3 turns to enable adjustment. 4.2 Cradle mounting Follow the steps below to mount the display’s cradle. Before mounting ensure that you have: • selected a suitable location. • installed the transducer and routed the power/transducer cable to the selected display location. 1 D12643-1 1 Pivot bolt location 11.
4.3 Fitting the display in the cradle Follow the steps below to fit the display into the cradle. 1 2 3 4.4 Fitting the 7 inch display in the cradle — Cradle down Follow the steps below to fit the 7 inch display into the cradle in the cradle down orientation. Note: When mounting the cradle in the cradle down orientation the display must still be fitted the correct way up. 1 4 2 3 5 0 0 4 5 D12645-3 1. Ensure the cradle is securely mounted. 2.
1. Remove the blanking plug from the hole on the rear of the display that lines up with the cradle’s safety latch. 2. Insert the blanking plug into the hole that will be left exposed. 3. Ensure the Safety Latch is in the unlocked position. 4. Fit the display to the cradle following the relevant procedure. 5. Push the Safety Latch in and turn clockwise to the locked position. 4.5 Security The display can be locked into the bracket using a proprietary lock i.e. the Thule 544 lock (not supplied).
1. Cradle Up position. 2. Cradle Down position. Fitting the lock 4.6 Removing the display from the bracket The display can be easily removed from its mounting bracket. With the display mounted in the cradle: 1. Remove the plastic cap that covers the cradles locking hole. 2. For fitting follow the instructions supplied with the lock. 0 D12637-3 1. If a lock has been fitted, ensure it is in the unlocked position. 2. Disconnect the cable from the back of the display. 3.
4.7 Surface mounting 12. Secure the display to the surface mount adaptor from the rear using the thumb nuts provided. The display can be surface mounted using the optional surface mounting kit. Before mounting the unit ensure that you have: • selected a suitable location (a clear, flat area with suitable clearance behind the panel is required). • installed the transducer and routed the power / transducer cable to the selected location. 1.
4.8 Testing the transducer 4.9 Finishing the transducer mounting Once the initial mounting procedures have been carried out, the transducer must be tested prior to finishing the mounting. Once you have achieved optimum performance at the desired vessel speeds the transducer must be locked into position to finish the installation. The testing should be carried out with your vessel in the water, with a depth greater than 0.7 m (2.3 ft) but less than the maximum depth limit of the system.

The Startup Wizard guides you through the following initial settings: 1. Language selection. 2. Configure units. 3. Finish / Tutorial.
6.4 Satellite-based navigation Depth Offset Depths are measured from the transducer to the sea bed, but you can apply an offset value to the depth data, so that the displayed depth reading represents the depth to the sea bed from either the keel or the waterline. Before attempting to set a waterline or keel offset, find out the vertical separation between the transducer and either the waterline or the bottom of the keel on your vessel, as appropriate. Then set the appropriate depth offset value.
accuracy, calculated from a number of factors including satellite geometry, system errors in the data transmission and system errors in the receiver. A higher figure signifies a greater positional error. A typical receiver has an accuracy of between 5 and 15 m. As an example, assuming a receiver error of 5 m, an HDOP of 2 would represent an error of approximately 15 m. Please remember that even a very low HDOP figure is NO guarantee that your receiver is providing an accurate position.
