Card reader A microSD card can be used to: • Provide detailed charts • Store screenshots • Update software • Transfer user data (waypoints, routes, tracks, screenshots). ¼ Notes: • Do not download, transfer or copy files to a chart card as it can damage chart information on the card.
INSTALLATION General mounting guidelines ⚠Warning: Do not install the unit in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere. ¼ Note: Choose a mounting location that will not expose the unit to conditions that exceed the technical specifications. Mounting location This product generates heat which must be considered when choosing the mounting location. Ensure the selected area allows for: •...

Compass safe distance The unit outputs electromagnetic interference that can cause inaccurate readings on a nearby compass. To prevent compass inaccuracy, the unit must be mounted far enough away so the interference does not affect compass readings. For minimum compass safe distance, refer to the technical specifications.
Page 13
Touchscreen Touchscreen performance can be affected by the location of the unit. Avoid locations where the screen is exposed to: • Direct sunlight. • Prolonged rainfall. Corner clip fitment and removal Panel mounting Refer to the separate mounting template for panel mounting instructions.
Page 14
U-bracket mounting Place the bracket in the desired mounting location. Ensure that the chosen location has enough height to accommodate the unit fitted in the bracket, and allows tilting of the unit. Adequate space is also required on both sides to allow tightening and loosening of the knobs. Mark the screw locations using the bracket as a template, and drill pilot holes.
WIRING Wiring guidelines Don’t: • Make sharp bends in the cables. • Run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors. • Run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or high frequency signal cables.

Power and power control The power connector is used for power control. Power connector details Unit socket (male) Purpose DC negative Power control + 12 V DC Power connection The unit is designed to be powered by 12 V DC. It is protected against reverse polarity, under voltage and over voltage (for a limited duration).
Page 17
Power control connection The yellow wire in the power cable can be used to control how the unit is turned on and off. Power controlled by power key The unit will turn on/off when the power key on the unit is pressed. Leave the yellow power control wire disconnected and tape or heat-shrink the end to prevent shorting.

NMEA 2000 The NMEA 2000 data port allows receiving and sharing of a multitude of data from various sources. Connector details Unit socket (male) Purpose Shield NET-S (+ 12 V DC) NET-C (DC negative) NET-H NET-L Plan and install an NMEA 2000 network An NMEA 2000 network consists of a powered backbone from which drop cables connect to NMEA 2000 devices.
Page 19
NMEA 2000 device Drop cable Terminator Power supply Backbone Power the NMEA 2000 network The network requires its own 12 V DC power supply, protected by a 3 A fuse. For smaller systems, connect power at any location in the backbone. For larger systems, connect power at a central point in the backbone to balance the voltage drop of the network.
Page 20
USB port The USB-A port can be used to connect a: • Storage device • Card reader ¼ Note: USB devices should be standard PC-compatible hardware. USB connector details Unit socket (female) - Standard USB type-A. Ethernet The Ethernet port(s) can be used for transfer of data and synchronization of user created data. It is recommended that each device in the system is connected to the Ethernet network.

Echosounder Supports: • Sonar / CHIRP Sonar • DownScan • SideScan • Active Imaging/Active Imaging 3-in-1/TotalScan/StructureScan ¼ Note: A 7-pin transducer cable can be connected to a 9-pin port using a 7-pin to 9-pin adaptor cable. However, if the transducer has a paddle wheel speed sensor, the water-speed data will not display on the unit.
