Sonar Source Overview

When you select a new transducer source, the alarms, menu settings, view rotation, and digital readouts will update automatically
on the control head.
∆ Menu Settings: If the sonar source is shared, the control heads will synchronize menu settings, while other menu settings will
continue to operate individually on each control head. When you change a shared menu setting on one control head, it will be
updated on the other control heads that are sharing the source.
∆ Views: The view rotation will update to display views that are compatible with the selected transducer.
∆ Alarms: When Sonar sources are shared on the network, the alarms are also shared. The shared alarm settings can be
controlled from either control head, and the alarms will display or sound on both control heads. To turn off a shared alarm,
press the EXIT key on any control head.

Set Up Sonar

Use the instructions below to select sonar sources for each control head. Before you can select frequencies from the network, the
control heads must be set up with their connected transducer.
1. Set up the Transducer
The following instructions are only required the first time you set up each HELIX control head with an attached transducer.
1. Main Menu: Press the MENU key twice.
2. Select the Sonar tab > Connected Transducer.
3. Press the Right or Left Cursor keys to scroll through the compatible transducers for that model. Select the transducer that
is attached to the control head.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each control head.
If there is not a transducer attached to a control head, you can skip this section for that control head.
2. Turn on/off CHIRP Mode
A CHIRP unit can use sources from any other control head on the network. If a unit is not CHIRP-capable, it cannot use sources
connected to the CHIRP control head unless CHIRP Mode is turned off.
NOTE: Non-CHIRP units are not compatible with networks containing a 5PGL switch.
