INSTALLATION PREPARATION PARTS SUPPLIED PARTS SUPPLIED Before installing your new Humminbird fishfinder, please ensure the following parts are included in the box: • Fishfinder • Transducer with 2.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Determining How to Mount the Transducer Your Humminbird fishfinder includes a standard transducer. This transducer can be mounted on the transom of the boat or bonded to the inside of a fiberglass hull boat.
INSTALLATION PREPARATI ON ALTERNATE MOUNTING METHODS ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS Your Humminbird fishfinder comes with everything necessary for installation and operation on most boats. However, there are several situations which may require a different type of transducer.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE Other transducers are available as replacements for the standard transducer. You may exchange your new and unassembled transducer for another type by returning it to the address listed in Customer Support.
INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Do not begin this transducer installation until you read the Installation Preparation in the Operation Guide. This chapter contains information critical to the correct installation of your transducer. Due to the wid e variety of boat hulls, only general instructions are presented in the installation guide.
INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION • If the propeller(s) is (are) forward of t he transom, it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered. Step Two - Drill the Mounting Holes 1.
INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Four - Mount the Transducer to the Transom 1. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom.
mounting bracket. Drill this hole and install the screw after final testing and adjustments have been completed..
INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Six - Route the Cable There are several ways to route th e transducer cable to the to the area where the control head will be installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat.
INSTA LLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION Inside the hull installation requires the mount system and control head be installed and operational. See Installing the Control Head for instruction on installing the unit. Inside th e hull mounting generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass - hulled boats.
The transducer cannot transmit through air. The water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface.
INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION 3. Power up the Control Head. 4. Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the Control Head. If the unit functions well at lo w speeds but begins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer needs to be moved.
INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step One - Determine Where to Mount Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head.
fuse in the connection. If you must wire the control head directly to a battery, be sure to install an inline fuse holder.
INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION and one amp fuse (not included) for the protection of the unit (Figure 21). Humminbird is not responsible for over voltage or over current failures. In order to minimize the potential for interference with other marine electronics a separate power source (such as a second battery) may be necessary.
Optio nal: If the cables pass outside the mounting bracket, install the hole cover over the hole and fasten in place using the two #8 x 7/8” (22mm) wood screws (Figure 24).
INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step Five - Assembling the Connector Holder 1. I nsert the cable connectors into the connector holder. The cable connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the connector holder (Figure 26).
INSTALLATION TEST THE INSTALLATION TEST THE INSTALLATION Testing should be performed with the boat in the water, however you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat trailered. Press POWER once to turn the unit on. There will be an audible chirp when any button is pressed to confirm the button press.
TESTING THE INSTALLATION After installation is complete and all connections are made, you are ready to test the installation prior to actual use. Thorough testing should be performed with the boa t in water, however, 'you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat trailered.
USING THE WIDE EYE The Wide Eye is simple to use. Simply press the POWER button, and the unit will automatically locate the bottom, adjust the depth range and sensitivity to an appropriate level, and draw a picture of the terrain beneath your boat.
F igure A shows the default screen layout. If you are using the temperature/speed accessory, the screen layout will be slightly different, as shown in Figure B. If you are using the Wide Side accessory transducer, the scre en layout will look like Figure C.
If a target is detected between the surface and the bottom, it is displayed as a fish symbol. Depending on the strength of the signal reflected from the object, one of three different size symbols is used.
POWER, as previously discussed, powers the Wide Eye for normal operation. Also, if the unit is powered off, press and hold POWER until you hear a continuous "chirp" to enable simu lator operation as discussed in "Simulator Operation".
water, full of debris, the Wide Eye will select a lower sensitivity setting. In clear water, where there is little debris to defract the sonar signal, the sensitivity is set higher. The Sensitivity menu allows you to "bias" this automatic setting up or down based on personal preference.
This feature is val uable if you are only interested in targets near the surface. The Wide Eye will always display the digital depth of the water, regardless of whether the bottom is shown on the selected depth range. Zoom Another form of range control is Zoom.
The zoom range is determined by the depth range in use when zoom is enabled. In shallow water, when the 15' or 30' depth ra nge is used, the zoom range will be 7 - 1/2'.
Fish Alarm The Fish Alarm alerts you to the presence of fish, or other targets not attached to the bottom, in the water beneath your boat. The Fish Alarm has 3 different settings which correspond to the 3 different size fish targets shown on - screen.
ID "OFF" disables the units interpretation of targets, and displays the "raw" sonar information as it is received. Advanced users may prefer this type of presentation, so the y can make there own interpretation from the information displayed.
The Wide Side transducer contains 3 different elements which transmit signals to the left, right, and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24 degree area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your bo at.
Also, several kits are available that include a Wide Side transducer with a switch or an additional mounting system. (See Section One, Available Accessories) When the Wide Side transducer is connect ed directly to your unit, or selected using a transducer switch, the unit setup must be changed to correspond with the type of transducer being used.
The "Range" menu (below) in Wide Side must be used to control the range manually, as the bottom is not always visible onscreen. Ranges of 15, 30, 60, and 120 feet are avai lable. "Zoom" has no function in Wide Side mode and the menu will not be present.
