    Chapter 2: Installation 2.3 Selecting the Equipment Location Mounting Location The DS400/500 is waterproof to IPX7 is and designed to be mounted either above or below deck. The unit should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. CAUTION: Mount the DS400/500 in a protected area away from prolonged exposure to rain, salt spray, and direct sunlight, but well ventilated.
  • Page 18: Cable Runs

    The power cable may be extended by up to 60 ft (20 m) using a wire gauge of AWG 12 or greater. The DS400/500 is intended for use on the boat’s DC power systems rated from 10-18 Volts DC (13.8V nominal).

  • Page 23: System Connections

    The following sections detail the connectors used when installing the DS400/500. DC Power Connection The DS400/500 is intended for use on the boat’s DC power systems rated from 10-18 Volts DC (13.8V nominal). The power connection to the unit should be made at either the output of the battery isolator switch, or at a DC power distribution panel.
  • Page 24: Transducer Connection

    Before attaching the transducer cable, you will need to attach the connector nut, which is included in the transducer packaging. The transducer cable is attached to the 7 pin male TRANSDUCER connector on the connector panel of the DS400/500. (See Figure 2-5 .) CAUTION: •...
  • Page 25 If the cable is cut, it must be replaced—it cannot be repaired. Cutting the cable will also void the warranty. WARNING: Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the DS400/500 while the fishfinder is powered on can cause sparks. Only remove the transducer cable after power has been removed from the DS400/500.

  • Page 32: Cable Routing

    DS400 and DS500 Digital Fishfinders High-speed operation (above 40MPH) may require less projection in the water to improve performance. Stabilizing the Bracket Stabilize the bracket by installing the third bracket screw at the bottom of the center slot (see Figure 2-11 ). Using a 4mm, #23, or 9/64" drill bit, drill a hole 22mm (7/8") deep.

  • Page 47: Interpreting And Adjusting The Sounder Image

    3.8 Interpreting and Adjusting the Sounder Image The DS400/500 uses sound waves to find fish and show the bottom of a lake or sea. The transducer sends high-frequency sound waves into the water; these sound waves strike fish, the bottom, or other objects in the water and return as echoes.
  • Page 48: Fish Indications

    DS400 and DS500 Digital Fishfinders Fish Indications When the sounder detects a fish, it displays an arch-shaped mark. In general, a larger arch indicates a larger fish, though this rule is not always true. Let’s say that there are two fish of the same size: one is close to the surface, the other is near the bottom.
  • Page 49: Using The Variable Range Marker (Vrm)

    Chapter 3: Getting Started The shape of the arch is also affected by the speed of the boat. If the boat is moving slowly, the arches tend to be longer; if the boat is moving more quickly, the arches are short and peaked. If the boat is moving very fast, a fish may be indicated by vertical lines.

    200 kHz – 500ft (150m) 50 kHz – 2000 ft (600m) For example, let’s say a DS400/500 is set for auto range & auto frequency and bottom is currently detected at 250 ft using 200 kHz. The bottom signal becomes lost, so the sounder switches to Hunt mode.
  • Page 56: A-Scope

    DS400 and DS500 Digital Fishfinders • AUTOMATIC enables the digital fishfinder to determine the optimum fre- quency based on the current conditions. 200 kHz MAN fixes the frequency at 200kHz no matter what depth you are • viewing. This frequency is typically used for shallower water and a more detailed view.
  • Page 57: Gain Mode

    Note: Automatic Gain settings take advantage of the hardware’s advanced digital technology. As a result, the sounder typically performs better in auto- matic mode than manual. For better performance Raymarine recommends selecting AUTO mode for all Gain options. Note that this menu item is in all caps and in followed by an ellipsis (...). This is an indicator that the setting contains sub-menus.

  • Page 59: Color Gain
