  • Page 3: Intended Use

    Owner’s Handbook February 2003 Intended Use Raymarine HD (High Definition) Series Fishfinders are intended for recreational fishfinding. The combined Fishfinder/Chartplotter (RC) devices are intended for recreational fishfinding and course chartplotting. The optional chartplotter function is intended as an aid to navigation and should not be relied upon as a substitute for official navigation charts.

    L1260DRC Plus Color LCD 10.4 inch Raymarine HD Series Fishfinders use the latest processor and sonar technology for accurate performance and echo detection. Units feature 7" or 10.4" daylight viewable color LCD displays and the Raychart (RC) models include a full C-Map NT/NT+ Chartplotter.
  • Page 18 HD Series Fishfinders This handbook describes the display unit controls and details both fishfinder and chart operations. Controls that are specific to either fishfinder or chartplotter are described in fishfinder or chart sections/chapters. Note: Many illustrations in this handbook show example screens. The screen you see on your display depends on your system configuration and set up op- tions, so it may differ from the illustration.

    The power connection to the display should be made at either the output of the battery isolator switch or at a DC power distribution panel. Raymarine recommends that power is fed directly to the display via its own dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, installed close to the power connection.
  • Page 48 2-16 HD Series Fishfinders Grounding It is important that an effective RF ground is connected to the system. A single ground point should be used for all equipment. You may ground the display by connecting the drain wire (shield) of the Power/NMEA Input cable to the ship’s RF ground.

Raymarine recommends that power is fed directly to the DSM250 via its own dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or 8A fuse on the red (positive) wire, installed close to the power connection.
  • Page 52: Ground Connection

    Note: You should locate the DSM250 so that the power cord can be easily re- moved, if necessary. If the sounder is placed in a difficult-to-reach location, Raymarine strongly suggests installing an on/off switch on the DSM250 pow- er cord at a point where it is easily accessible.

    • Combined speed/temperature transducers have a 3 pin female connector that requires the use of an additional Y-shaped cable (Raymarine part num- ber E66022) to attach to the 7 pin connector on the display. This Y-cable is included with your speed/temperature transducer.
  • Page 54 2-22 HD Series Fishfinders Attach the 7 pin female connector on the Y-cable to the sounder module, and then attach the transducer cable to the 3 pin male connector on the Y- cable. • Depth-only transducers have a 7 pin female connector. Attach the transducer cable connector directly to the sounder module.
  • Page 55: Emc Conformance

    Chapter 2: Installation 2-23 CAUTION: Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the DSM250 while the sounder module is powered on can cause sparks. Only remove the transducer cable after power has been removed from the DSM250. If the transducer cable is accidentally removed while the DSM250 is powered on, remove power from the sounder module, replace the transducer cable, and then return power to the module.

  • Page 61 SeaTalk The SeaTalk standard was originally developed by Autohelm (part of the Raymarine group) and enables compatible instruments to be connected by a single cable carrying power and data in/out. This means that additional instruments and functions can be added to a SeaTalk system, simply by plugging them into the network.
