INSTALLATION PREPARATION PARTS SUPPLIED PARTS SUPPLIED Before installing your new Humminbird fishsinder, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Optional: If the ca bles 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. 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.
USING THE WIDE W The Wide W is easy 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.
Later, you will learn of another feature called “advanced operation”. This feature uses yet another screen layout as shown in Figure C which maximizes the display for the terrain and target presentation.
the bottom is mud or soft sand, the bottom depiction will be thick and less dense. This indicates that much of the sonar signal is absorbed by the soft bottom. If the bottom is rugged and varying, such as a roc ky bottom, the depiction will be textured and vary in density.
POWER, as previously discussed, powers the Wide W for normal operation. Also, if the unit is powered off, press and hold POWER until you hear a con tinuous “chirp” to enable simulator operation, as discussed in “Simulator Operation”. Pressing POWER when the unit is in normal or simulator operation will power the unit off.
The following section explains each menu in detail, and how these adjustments can be used to obtain the maximum information from the sonar returns. SENSITIVITY As the Wide W receives returned signals, the sensitivity of the receiver as adjusted automatically based on a number of factors such as the depth of th e water, and the signal clarity.
Another use of the Sensitivity menu is to select the bottom representation. The Wide W 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.
effective displ ay resolution is increased, and the units ability to separate targets close together is en abled . The zoom ra nge is determined by the depth range in use when Zoom is enabled. IN shallow water , when the 15 foot or 39 foot de p th is used, the zoom range will be 7 - 1/2 feet.
beneath your boat is equal to or less than the selected alarm depth, a continuous alarm will sound. To disable the alarm, either move to deeper water, or select the Bottom Alarm menu , and press ENTER to turn the alarm off.
ID ID is the automatic identification of target returns based on the strength of the returned signal and other factors. Three options are available: ID “On ” disp lays targets as one of three different size fish symbo ls.
Note: The option al Temp/ Speed acce ssory must be connected for Triplog to work. SYSTEM OP TIONS The Syste m Options menu allows the adjustment of several features. These adjustments are usually made initially, and rarely thereafter. To make these adjustments, first enter the System Optio ns full screen menu with the ENTER key .
User Lev el is used to select Normal or Advanced operation. Advanced M ode performs several functions which will benefit the experienced user. Icons are not shown and numerical data is smaller to allow more of the display to be used for the picture of the bottom .
