1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the water, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digi tal sonar! We know you're anxious to begin finding fish, but we have a favor to ask.
2 If you're having difficulty with your sonar, you can find an answer to the most common probl ems in Section 5, Sonar Troubleshooting . Finally, in Section 6, we offer Supplemental Material , including a list of warranty and customer service information.
3 Transmitter: .................... X-515cDF: 4,000 watts peak-to-peak/500 watts RMS. X-510c: 2,400 watts peak-to-peak/300 watts RMS. Sonar sounding depth capability: .
4 The transmitter emits an electrical impulse, which the transducer con- verts into a sound wave and sends in to the water. (The sound frequency can't be heard by humans or fish.) The sound wave strikes an object (fish, structure, bottom) and bounces back to the transducer, which converts the sound back into an electrical signal.
5 For example, instructions for turning on the Fish ID ™ feature would look like this: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to S ONA R F EATURES | ENT . 2. Press → to F ISH S YMBOLS | ENT | EXIT | EXIT . Translated into complete English, step 1 above would mean: "Start on the Sonar Page.

7 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the sonar system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vessel! 1.
8 NOTE: The following installation types also call for these recommended tools and required supplies that you must provide (supplies listed here are not included): Single-frequency tra nsom installations Tools include: two adjustable wrenches, drill, #29 (0.
9 boat hulls have a flat keel pad that offers a good mounting surface. On vee hulls, try to place the transd ucer where the deadrise is 10 ° or less. Left, vee pad hull; right, vee hull. A pod style transducer is shown here, but the principle is the sa me for Skimmers inside a hull.
10 Align transducer centerline with hull bottom. However, there are times when you may need to adju st the transducer slightly higher or lower. (The slot s in the mounting brackets allow you to loosen the screws and slide the tr ansducer up or down.
11 sonars.) Lack of angle adjustment can be particularly troublesome on hulls that sit with the bow high when at rest or at slow trolling speeds. Third, a transducer CAN NOT shoot through wood and metal hulls. Those hulls require either a transom mount or a thru-hull installation.
12 al ignm ent mar k molded into the bracket. Place the ratchets onto the transducer with the letter "A" aligned with the 12 o'c loc k position on the transducer stem. These positions set the transducer's coarse angle adjustment for a 14 ° transom.
13 Place the ratchets into the holes in the bracket with the letter "B" aligned with the dot stamped in the bracket. Reassemble the transducer and bracket and place them against the transom. Again, check to see if you can move the transducer so it's parallel with the ground.
14 Assemble transducer and bracket. 3. Assembling the transducer. A. One-piece bracket: Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the following fig- ure. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.
15 Position transducer mount on transom and mark mounting holes. Side view shown, left, and seen from above at right. 5. Attaching transducer to transom. A. One-piece bracket: Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown in the following figures.
16 Align transducer centerline with hull bottom and attach transducer to transom. Rear view of dual-frequency Skimmer shown. 6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. Make sure to leav e some slack in the cable at the transducer.
17 Trolling Motor Bracket Installation (single-frequency only) 1. Attach the optional TMB-S bracket to the transducer as shown in the following figure, using the hardware supplied with the transducer. (Note: The internal tooth washer is supplied with the TMB-S.
18 Transducer angles and their effects on fish arches. If the arch slopes up – but not back down – then the front of the trans- ducer is too high and needs to be lowered. If only the back half of the arch is printed, then the nose of th e transducer is angled too far down and needs to be raised.
19 WARNING: Do not remove any material from your inner hull unless you know the hull's composition. Careless grinding or cutting on your hull can result in damage that could sink your boat. Contact your boat dealer or manufac- turer to confirm your hull specifications.
20 To choose the proper location for shoot-thru-hull mounting, follow these testing procedures: (You may need a helper to complete these steps.) 1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water.
21 sure that your selected location will work under all conditions, make a test run with the boat on plane and observe the bottom signal. You'll need to figure some way to prop the transducer into position while you make your test run. (A brick or two might be sufficient to hold it in place.
22 2. The epoxy consists of the epoxy itself and a hardener. Remove the two compounds from the package and place them on the paper plate. Thoroughly stir the two compounds together until the mixture has a uniform color and consistency. Do not mix too fast or bubbles will form in the epoxy.
23 the transom. The bottom of the bracket should be flush with the hull's bottom. Using the sensor as a template, mark the hull for the screws' pilot holes. Drill four 1/8" holes, one in each end of the slots. Mount the sensor to the hull using #8 stainless steel wood screws (not included).
24 Sonar unit cable connections. Power Connections Your unit comes with a power/data cable that splits into three branches, each with several exposed wires. The thicker three-wire cable (white, red and black) is the power supply for your display unit.
25 The thinner branch with three wires (red, black and shield) is the power cable for a NMEA 2000 network. It is labeled "NMEA 2000 POWER." The branch with four wires (blue, ye llow, orange, and shield) is a data cable, labeled "RS-232 COMM.
26 vironments. When the unit is turned off but still connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occu r in the power cable plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical contacts in the cable and the unit' s power socket.
27 Power Diagram A Use this method if you are powering the display unit and or the dis- play unit and a NMEA 2000 network. (Fuses may be different from those shown.). The network and any NMEA 2000 devices will not operate unless the NMEA 2000 Power Cable is connected to power.
28 Power Diagram B Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device. (Fuse may be different from that shown.) Powering a NMEA 2000 Network Bus A NMEA 2000 bus must be connected to a power source to operate.
29 when not in use. Failure to connect to and use a power switch will drain your boat battery, which could stop your boat's operation. Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network Your unit can be connected to a NMEA 2000 bus, receiving sensor in- formation from units and devices attached to the network.
30 power and transducer cables. (A drawing on the next page shows the dimensions of a gimbal-mounted sonar unit.) Holes in the bracket's base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin fiber- glass panels to reinforce the pane l and secure the mounting hardware.
31 Front view (left) and side view (r ight) showing dimensions of the sonar unit when mounted on gimbal bracket. After drilling the hole, pass the transducer connector up through the hole from under the dash. Pass the power cable's bare-wire end down though the hole from the top.
32 In-dash mounting template for the sonar unit, showing dimensions. NOTE: The figure above is not printed to scale. A scaled template (FM- 5 In-Dash Adapter Kit instructions) is available for free download from our web site, www.
33 PPP-15 Portable Power Pack with tr ansducer installed. Shown with the X67C IceMachine ™ . Other Accessories Cleaning Towel A lint-free microfiber towel is includ ed for cleaning the unit’s screen. The towel is highly effective in clea ring away water spots, smudges and finger prints.
34 WARNING: When the unit is mounted in an unprotected area, such as an open boat cockpit, the protective face cover must be removed when the vehicle is moving at high speed. This includes towing a boat on a trailer at highway speeds. Otherwise, wind blast can pop off the cover.
35 Section 3: Basic Sonar Operation This section addresses the unit's most basic sonar operations. The in- structions presented here in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Sonar Options & Other Features , will discuss options and other more advanced functions and utilities.
36 4. ARROW KEYS – These keys are used to navigate through the menus, make menu selectio ns, move the so nar chart cursor and enter data. 5. ENT (Enter) – This key allows you to accept values or execute m enu commands. 6. EXIT – The Exit key lets you return to the previous screen, clear data or erase a menu.
37 Main Menu. Main Menu Commands There are four "basic" Main Menu commands that you'll really want to read more about. They are: • Screen : changes the contrast or brightness of the display screen. Use this command to adjust how the screen looks under various lighting conditions.
38 • Calibrate Water Speed : adjusts how a speed sensor measures water speed. • Reset Water Distance : resets water dist ance log to zero. • Sonar Simulator : turns the simulator feature on and off. • Transducer Type (dual-frequency units only): sets the type of trans- ducer plugged into the unit.
39 • Colorline command: separates fish an d structure near the bottom from the actual bottom, and define s bottom composition and hardness. • Depth Range command: manually sets the depth range shown on the sonar chart. • Auto Depth Range command: automatically sets the depth range shown on the sonar chart to always keep the bottom in view.
40 Sonar Page Display options (left). Radar Page (right). Remember: the Split Frequency Sonar Chart will not be listed on the X-510c menu since it does not have a dual frequency transducer. The Full Sonar Chart is the main display option. This is a "cross- section" view of the water column beneath the boat.
41 Split zoom page (left) with split frequency page (X-515 only) (right). Digital Data page displ ay (left) with the Flasher page (right). Sonar with Custom Gauge page (lef t). Radar page display (right). You can customize how the Sonar Page pictures and other data are dis- pl ayed in ma ny ways .
42 Section 4, but to show you how easy the sonar unit is to operate, the fol - lowing page contains a simplified, 10-step quick reference that will cover most fish finding situations . The quick reference describes how your unit will operate with all the sonar features in their automatic modes, which are set at the factory.
43 Basic Sonar Quick Reference 1. Depress the PWR key to turn on the unit. 2. Head for your fishing grounds. Yo ur unit automatically displays digi- tal depth and surface water temperature in the corner of the screen. The auto settings will track the bottom, displaying it in the lower por- tion of the screen.
44 Sonar Operations As you can see from the quick reference on the previous page, basic operation is pretty easy, right out of the box. If you are a sonar novice, try operating the unit with the factory defaults until you get a feel for how it's working.
45 You can change the sensitivity level whether you are in Auto Sensitiv- ity mode or Manual Sensitivity mode. The adjustment method works the same in both modes, but it gi ves you slightly different results.
