Summary of Contents for Humminbird HDR 200

  • Page 2 Please carefully consider the following before installing your transducer. TRANSDUCER MOUNTING OPTIONS A. Transom Mount- The Humminbird high speed transducer allows the transducer element to be mounted below the bottom of the boat hull keeping the transducer out of turbulent water and...
  • Page 3 B. Inside Hull Mount- The high speed transducer can be mounted inside the hull (without pivot assembly) using the proper two-part epoxy, such as Humminbird’s epoxy kit. Even though there is some loss of signal in shooting through the hull, your LCR will perform well with this type of installation.
  • Page 4 BRACKET INSTALLATION (Fiberglass Boats)- If your boat has a stepped transom located below and under the main transom, the compact transducer design allows mounting in this area. This mounting location is recommended for good reading at very high speeds. (See Figure D) To install the metal bracket on a fiberglass boat, locate the template on the transom in the same manner as for an aluminum boat.
  • Page 5 ¼”x5/8” allen head screws, two 3/8” tooth washers and two, ¼” square nuts. Make sure the tooth washers are sandwiched between the transducer main body and the pivot. The square nuts are trapped inside the pivot and will not rotate as the allen head screws are tightened.
  • Page 6 ¼”x3/8” allen head screw into the end of the pin and tighten. (See Figure G) Step 5 ANGLE ALLIGHMENT- Set the transducer angle so that it is parallel with the bottom of the boat hull. Once proper alignment is achieved, tighten the two allen head screws using the 5/32” allen...
  • Page 7 Techsonic Industries, Inc. will not be responsible for any damage due to the mounting of your transducer in this manner. NOTE: An Epoxy Kit (Part N. EPK) is available from Humminbird. This Epoxy Kit has been formulated for Inside Hull Transducer Installation.
  • Page 8 2. Improper installation of the transducer can alter the efficiency and accuracy of the entire system. 3. If your boat of transducer is out of the water for a period of time, it may take a short period of time for the transducer to become thoroughly “wetted” when returned to the water. Also, re- entry may cause turbulence, which will create air bubbles in the “eye”...
  • Page 9 Install the mounting knobs and tighten snugly. The unit can now be swiveled and tilted to any desired position.

    INSTALLING THE CABLES Your LCR comes equipped with Humminbird’s new Angle-Lock power and transducer connectors. The power connector is identified with the letter P on the back of the plug.
  • Page 11 It plugs into the outlet on the back of the unit marked “Power”. The transducer connector is identified with the letter T and plugs into the outlet on the back of the unit marked “Transducer”. Note: An adapter (AD-4) is available to allow use of an old waterproof (BNC) transducer with the LCR, but be sure that the transducer is a 16degree.
  • Page 12: Section 3: Testing And Using

    After installing your HDR 200, transducer, and cables, you should test the installation. Testing should be performed in the water, since that is the only way to check your transducer’s performance. When the boat ignition is turned on the HDR 200 will perform a self-test and then...
  • Page 13: Section 4: Maintenance

    If the HDR 200 performs well at idle or slow speeds, but the display is not continuous at higher speeds, the transducer is not installed properly. Air bubbles or turbulence from the boat hull are passing across the transducer face, blocking the transmitted signal.
