vi WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions.
1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital sonar and GPS! We know you're anxious to begin navigating and finding fish, but we have a favor to ask.
2 After you've gained some experience with your sonar, you'll want to check out Section 4, which discusses advanced Sonar Options and Other Features .
3 skip ahead to important informatio n on how sonar works, on page 5. (Background on GPS begins on page 6.) Capabilities and Specific ations: FishStrike 1000C & SeaChamp 1000 C DF General Display: ............................ High-brightness LCD; programmable to viewing preference, 5.
4 configuration and installation, bottom composition and water conditions. Depth display: ................ Continuous display. Graph recording: .......... Up to 1 GB on one MMC (or SD) card Audible alarms: ............. Deep/shallow/fish/zone. Automatic ranging: .
5 NOTE: The memory capacities refer only to the unit's on-board memory. The amount of GPS or sonar data you can record and save for recall later is only limited by the number of MMC cards you have.
6 How Your GPS Works You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how this unit scans the sky to tell you where you are on the earth — and, where you're going.
7 file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared between other Eagle GPS or sonar/GPS units and even personal computers. Your unit has one more thing in common with a personal computer.
8 The Global Positioning System (GPS) was launched July 17, 1995 by the United States Department of Defense. It was designed as a 24- hour-a-day, 365-days-a-year, all weather global navigation system for the armed forces of the U.
9 Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn’t have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites to calculate a position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information.
10 How to use this manual: typographical conventions Many instructions are listed as numbered steps. The keypad and arrow "keystrokes" appear as boldface type. If you're in a real hurry (or just need a reminder), you can skim the instructions and pick out what menu command to use by finding the boldface command text.
11 Next, repeatedly press (or press and hold) the down arrow key to scroll down the menu and select (highligh t) the My Trails menu command. Finally, press the Enter key." Step 2 means: "Press the down arrow key repeatedly to scroll to the trail named Trail 1, and press Enter.
12 Notes.
13 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the sonar and GPS systems in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: CAUTION: You should read over this entire installation section before drilling any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1.
14 Read these instructions carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Use extreme care if mounting the transducer inside the hull, because once the epoxy is applied and it is set into position, the transducer cannot be removed.
15 water, interference caused by bubbles and turbulence will show on the sonar's display in the form of random lines or dots whenever the boat is moving. NOTE: Some aluminum boats with strakes or ribs on the outside of the hull create large amounts of turbulence at high speed.
16 Good and poor transducer locations. How low should you go? For most situations, you should install your Skimmer transducer so that its centerline is level with the bottom of the boat hull. This will usually give you the best combination of smooth water flow and protection from bangs and bumps.
17 bottom – the face – of the transducer rise above the bottom of the hull. Shoot-thru-hull vs. Transom Mounting In a shoot-thru-hull installation, th e transducer is bonded to the inside of the hull with epoxy. The sonar "p ing" signal actually passes through the hull and into the water.
18 1. Assembling the bracket. A. One-piece bracket: Press the two small plastic ratchets into the sides of the metal bracket as shown in the following illustration. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet. Place each ratchet into the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the dot stamped into the metal bracket.
19 Add ratchets to bracket and transducer. 2. Aligning the transducer on the transom. A. One-piece bracket: Slide the transducer between the two ratchets.
20 B. Two-piece bracket: Assemble the transducer and bracket as shown in the following figure. Temporarily sl ide the bolt though the transducer assembly but don't tighten the nut at this time. Hold the assembled transducer and bracket against the transom.
21 B. Two-piece bracket: Once you determine th e correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the figure in step 2B. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time. 4. Drilling mounting holes. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom.
22 Both bracket types: Attach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or down until it's aligned properly with the bottom of the hull as shown in the preceding and following figures. Tighten the bracket's mounting screws, sealing th em with the caulking compound.
23 7. Make a test run to determine the results. If the bottom is lost at high speed, or if noise appears on the display, try sliding the transducer bracket down. This puts the transducer deeper into the water, hopefully, below the turbulence causing the noise.
24 TRANSDUCER ORIENTATION AND FISH ARCHES If you do not get good fish arches on your display, it could be because the transducer is not parallel with the ground when the boat is at rest in the water or at slow trolling speeds. Transducer angles and their effects on fish arches.
25 layers. The sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. A successful transducer installation can be made on hulls with flotation materials (such as plywood, balsa wood or foam) between layers of fiberglass if the material is removed from the chosen area.
26 Shoot-thru-hull transducer locations for high speed or trolling speed operation. 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.
27 3. Now move the transducer around to find the best location with the strongest possible bottom signal. If yo u find a spot with an acceptable bottom signal, mark the locati on and move on to step 4.
28 Epoxy transducer to hull. WARNING: Use only the epoxy available from LEI. It has been formulated to work with these installation procedures. Other epoxy types may be too thin or may not cure to the right consistency for optimum transducer performance.
29 Speed/Temperature Sensors This unit can accept as many as two temperature sensors, which can be used to monitor the temperature of surface water, a live well or some other location. These units can also accept an optional speed sensor for showing speed and distance traveled.
30 Cable connections. Optional Speed Sensor Installation All the units in this series can display speed and distance traveled, but only the SeaChamp 1000 C DF comes packed with a speed sensor. If you wish to purchase an optional additional sensor for your unit, refer to the accessory ordering information inside the back cover of this manual.
31 remain in the water when the boat is on plane. Also make sure the location doesn't interfere with the boat's traile r. Typically, the sensor is mounted about one foot to the side of the transom's centerline. Once you've determined the proper location for the unit, place the sensor on the transom.
32 the installation of the sensor, please contact your local boat dealer. GPS Antenna/Receiver Module Installation The FishStrike 1000c and SeaChamp 1000 C DF packages include the EGC-12w GPS module. This device contains the unit’s external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals.
33 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can be used to receive NMEA format GPS data. The com port can also transmit NMEA format GPS data to another device. The optional data cable will contain three wires. Com-1 uses the yellow wire to transmit, the orange wire to receive and the shield wire for signal ground.
34 the unit, you should always shut off power to the power cable, especially when the power cable is disconnected from the unit. If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from electrical noise.
35 wires are attached correctly. Mounting the Unit: Bracket or In-Dash You can install the unit on top of a dash with the gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional R-A-M bracket mounting system.
36 Front view (left) and side view (right) showing dimensions of the sonar/GPS unit when mounted on gimbal bracket. 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 fiberglass panels to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.
37 Once a location is determined, use the bracket as a template and mark the mounting holes and the hole for the cables. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power, transducer and antenna cables. Screw the bracket to the mounting surface.
38 MMC or SD Memory Card Installation Your unit uses MultiMedia Cards to store information, such as sonar logs, custom maps, waypoints, trails and other data. The unit can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD card) to store data. The unit can use up to two cards; a MMC and a SD card can be used at the same time.
39 Other Accessories MMC and MapCreate Other available accessories include MMC cards, MMC card readers and MapCreate™ 6 custom mapping software for your computer. MMC card readers are available in USB versions. MapCreate™ 6 CD-ROM, left; MMC card reader for USB ports, right.

Your unit also includes several special sonar features and options that can help you better interpret the underwater scene.
49 FishStrike 1000C and SeaChamp 1000CDF Sonar Quick Reference 1. Mount the transducer, antenna and unit. Connect the unit to electric power and the transducer. (If GPS operation is desired, connect GPS antenna, too.) Make sure the MMC is in. (See complete installation details beginning on page 13.
50 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.
51 Adjusting sensitivity in Auto Sensitivity Mode is similar to manually adjusting a car's speed with the accelerator pedal while cruise control is on. You can tell the car to run faster, but when you let off the gas the cruise control automatically keeps you from running slower than the minimum speed setting.
52 Important Tip: While you are experimenting and learning, it's possible to scramble the settings so that the sonar picture disappears from your screen. If that happens, remember that it's easy to switch back to full automatic operation by simply restoring the factory auto settings.
53 Visit our web site, www.eaglesonar.com . Be sure to check out the free Sonar Tutorial, which includes animated illustrations and more pictures of actual sonar returns, all described in detail.
54 A free training emulator is available for your unit on our web site. The emulator works exactly like your real sonar/GPS unit. Using the Sonar Simulator and GPS Simulator features, it allows you to.
55 Section 4: Sonar Options & Other Features Material in this section is arranged in alphabetical order. ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) The ASP feature is a noise rejection system built into the sonar unit that constantly evaluates the effects of boat speed, water conditions and interference.
56 Alarms This unit has three different types of sonar alarms. The first is the Fish Alarm. It sounds when the Fish I.D. feature determines an echo is a fish. Another alarm is the Zone Alarm, which consists of a bar on the side of the screen. Any echo on the chart that appears inside this bar triggers the alarm.
