Transducers fitted with a 9 pin connector can be plugged directly
into the 9 pin port on the back of the unit. For 9 pin port location,
refer to "Rear connections" on page 13.
Note:
Ú The connector attached to the transducer cable is
keyed, and can only be inserted in one orientation. Once
inserted, turn locking collar to secure.
Note:

StructureScan HD, StructureScan 3D and TotalScan
transducer installation instructions are included with the
transducers.

NMEA 2000 backbone

Note:
Ú Only the ELITE-7Ti is equipped with a NMEA 2000
connector. This section does not apply to the Elite-5Ti.
Device connection
The ELITE-7Ti is equipped with an NMEA 2000 data port, which
allows the receiving and sharing of a multitude of data from various
sources.
Planning and installing a network backbone
The backbone needs to run between the locations of all products to
be installed - typically in a bow to stern layout - and be no further
than 6 m from a device to be connected.
Choose from the following components to make up the backbone:
• Micro-C cables: 0.6 m (2 ft), 1.8 m (6 ft), 4.5 m (15 ft), and 7.6 m (25
ft) cables.
• T-connector or 4-way connector. Used to connect a drop cable
to the backbone.
• Micro-C power cable. Connect to the backbone at a position that
is central to the network load using a T-connector or 4-way
connector.
Power the network
The network requires its own 12 V DC power supply protected by a
3 amp fuse or breaker.
Connect power at any location in the backbone for smaller systems.
