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 installing your Wide Vision unit and transducer, you are ready to test the installation. Testing should be performed on the water, since that is the best way to confirm your transducer's performance. With your boat in the water, press POWER once to turn the unit on.
USING THE WIDE VISION SIMULATOR OPERATION The Wide Vision is simple to use. Simply press the POWER button, and the unit will automatically locat e the bottom, adjust the depth range and sensitivity to an appropriate level, and draw a picture of the terrain beneath your boat.
Figure A shows the default screen layout . With the speed and temperature gauge connected a distance back number is displayed which represents the linear distance of the sonar information being displayed. The faster your boat is traveling, the greater the distance number.
At power - up, the Wide Vision locates the bottom and adjusts the depth range to a s etting most appropriate for that depth. The bottom will be usually shown about 2/3 of the way down the display. The Structure ID depiction of the bottom may appear differently in different situations.
Additionally, since the Wide Vision uses a dual beam transducer, each of the two beams is evaluated independently, and some directional indication is possible. If a target is seen in the narrow beam, it i s located directly under your boat, and is displayed as a solid fish symbol.
MENU FUNCTIONS T he following secti on explains each menu in detail, and how these adjustments can be used to extract the maximum information from the sonar returns. With several exceptions, once a setting has been changed, the Wide Vision will remember that setting until it is again changed , even if power is disconnected.
fish symbols for narrow beam returns. The options in the Transducer menu are "Dual", which uses both transducer elements for transmitting and receiving the sonar signals, "Narrow" which selects ments available in the Transducer menu will be "Left", "Right", and "Both".
Another use of the Sensitivity menu is to select the bottom representation. The Wide Vision normally displays a variable Structure ID bottom, which can allow experienced users to determine the texture or relative hardness of the bottom. For simplicity, you can select a black bottom using the ENTER button.
If you alter the depth range, Manual operation is automatica lly selected. This feature is valuable if you are only interested in targets near the surface. The Wide Vision will always display the digital depth of the water, regardless of whether the bottom is shown on the selected depth range.
The digital depth readout will continue to track the bottom even when Zoom is enabled. Bottom Lock is a function of zoom, except the depth adjustment is controlled automatically to view the area immediately above the bottom.
To enable Fish Alarm, use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the size return you want to be alerted to: large fish only, large and medium size fish, or all fish. Then press ENTER to enable the alarm. Remember that it is impossible for sonar to deter m ine if a signal return is a fish or some other type of object or suspended debris.
ID+", the default setting, provides more information about the location of the target by attaching depth "strings" showing the digital depth of the target. When there are numerous targets on - screen, not every target depth is shown, to avoid excessive clutter on - screen.
Note: The TemperaturelSpeed accessory must be connected for TripLo g to work. System Options The System Options menu allows the adjustment of several additional features. These adjustments are usually made initially, and rarely thereafter. To make these adjustments, first enter the System Options full screen menu with the ENTER key.
Sonar Mode is used to select th e Side - Looking mode of operation if the Wide Side transducer is used. This setting changes the mode of operation of the Wide Vision to present information gathered from either side of the boat, and should not be used with the normal transducer.
The Wide Side transducer is available as a trolling motor mount, a transom mount, or a portable mount. Wide Side can be connected directly to your Wide Vision unit in place of the dual beam transducer, or used in conjunction with a transducer switch so both transducers can be connected to the Wide Vision.
When the Wide Side transducer is connected 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. This adjus tment is made through the "System Options" menu.
The information collected is controlled through the "Tr ansducer" menu. The UP and DOWN arrow keys select "left", "right" or "both". Pressing ENTER will select the "down" mode and a traditional down view will be displayed.
