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 Humminb ird 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 PREPARATION ALTERNATE M OUNTING 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 i t to the address listed in Customer Support.
INSTALLAT ION 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 wide variety of b oat hulls, only general instructions are presented in the installation guide.
INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION • If the propeller(s) is (are) forward of the 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.
INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Six - Route the Cable There are several ways to route the transducer c able 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.
INSTALLATION 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 the hull mountin g generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass - hulled boats.
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 low speeds but b egins 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.
INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION and one amp fuse (not inc luded) 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 batter y) may be necessary.
INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step Five - Assembling the Connector Holder 1. Insert the cabl e 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 boat in water, however, you can initially confirm basic ope ration with the boat trailered.
USING THE TOUR SERIES The Tour Series is completely automatic and easy to use. Simply press the POWER button and the unit will locate and track the bottom from 2' to 600' changing ranges as necessary, display any structure or suspended fish and work at speeds from 0 to over 70 mph.
WHAT YOU SEE ON - SCREEN Your Tour Series uses a 64 x 128 matrix Supe rTwist LCD display. This type of display provides outstanding viewability in all light conditions over a wide range of temperatures.
INTERPRETING THE ON - SCREEN INFORMATION Figure E shows a typical view you can expect to see on - water. New sonar information appears on the right side of the graphic area of the display and moves to the lef t as new information is displayed.
Sonar targets which are not physically a ttached to the bottom may take one of many shapes. Surface clutter is the layer of water near the surface which is rich in algae and other growth, and often is aerated by wind or wave action.
POWER, powers the Tour Series up for normal operation. When the unit is on, POWER turns the unit off. POWER can also be used to go directly into Simulator mode. With the unit powered off, press and hold POWE R for several seconds until a continuous chirp is heard.
All menus use the same basic layout as shown in Figure F The heading at the top describes the menu function (see Control Functions for more details on individual functions). The UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW symbols to the left of the menu indicate which buttons are available for adjustment.
reduce sensitivity bias. By holding either ARROW button depressed, t he unit will sequence through the available settings until you release the button or the end of the adjustment range is reached. If additional time is needed to study a menu, press and hold the MENU button and the menu will remain on - screen indefinitely.
Zoom Zoom is similar to Depth Range in that it controls the range of information displayed in the graphics area of the display. Zoom, however, allows selection of ranges beneath the surface so any area of water between the surface and the bottom can be enlarged to provide more detailed information.
Depth Alarm The Tour Series contains an audible alarm to warn you of shallow water depths. The alarm is adjustable from 2' to 99' of depth. When the alarm is enabled, an audible alarm is sounded if the water beneath the boat is equal to or less than the selected alarm depth.
Triplog Triplog provides a running log of information based on input from the Temp/Speed sensor. Since Triplog requires information from the Temp/Speed sensor to operate, if this sensor is not d etected by the Tour Series , the Triplog menu will not appear as an option.
Units The Uni ts function allows the user to select the units of measurement for the speed readout. Both MPH or statute miles per hour and KTS or nautical miles per hour are available. Use the ARROW buttons to highlight the desired selection. The Tour Series remembers th is selection even when the unit is powered off.
Numeral Size Numeral Size is the next Option menu. Two options a re available: Big and Small. The factory setting is Big. With this setting, the digital depth and speed and temp numerals are drawn large enough to be readable from across the boat. The big numerals occupy space on the display which could be used for the g raphics area.
Note: If two non - standard transducers are connected to the Tour Series through a transducer switch, the Transducer Options menu must be used to manually ide ntify which transducer is in use, as the Tour Series has no way to identify non - standard transducers.
CUSTOMIZING SET - UP FUNCTIONS The Tour Series allows the user to customize many features to work best for a particular type of use. These user selections are remembered by the unit af ter power is disconnected. Control of these features is accomplished through the menu system.
The second Diagnostic screen evaluates external connections to the unit. The first category is Transducer input. If a transducer is detected, a message will indicate "connected". This is an excellent w ay to confirm transducer connection. If a transducer is connected directly to the unit, the connection will be indicated here.
Wide Side Operation The Wide Side transducer is a specialized "side - looking" transducer which is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The Wide Side transducer uses 3 different sonar e lements which transmit signals to the left, right, and straight down from your boat.
