  • Page 4: Installation

    LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 4 INSTALLATION: First, find a location on your dash panel which will give clear viewing and access to the LCD window. After finding the right location for the indicator unit, mark a 2 in. hole to be cut out. Check behind the panel for any cables or wiring which could be damaged and then cut out the 2 in.

  • Page 5: General Information: Depth Sounder Transducer

    LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 5 INSTALLATION: BATTERY CONNECTION/POWER REQUIREMENT Because the LTD 260 has no ON/OFF switch, you will need to wire it directly to a power source which will turn the unit on as power is applied. It may be a power source which will turn the unit on as power is applied.
  • Page 6 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 6 AIR ECHOES: Air echoes can be caused by too much turbulence under the face of the transducer. It is important to know that ultra sonic signals from a transducer will not penetrate air. They react to air in the same manner as they react to a hard bottom described above.
  • Page 7 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 7 INSTALLATION: TRANSDUCER WETTING Immediately before your vessel, thoroughly wipe the face of the transducer with a detergent type liquid soap. This reduces the amount of time required for the transducer to establish good contact with the water.
  • Page 8 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 8 INSTALLATION: WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL UNDERNEATH A GASOLINE OVERFLOW AS THIS WILL DESTROY THE PLASTIC MATERIAL OF THE TRANSDUCER AND THE BRACKET AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. Also, do not use LOCKTITE or any similar adhesives on the mounting hardware as these materials also destroy the transducer.
  • Page 9 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 9 INSTALLATION: In mounting a transducer through the hull (through-hull), it is important that it is done correctly because the location of the transducer on the hull will determine how well the entire unit will perform.
  • Page 10 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 10 INSTALLATION: This style of transducer is popular as a replacement transducer since it was the primary style used on older boats and the stern will fir the same size hole as the previous defective or obsolete transducer.
  • Page 11 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 11 INSTALLATION: This type of transducer is very popular since it does not require the drilling of a hole such as the through-the-hull transducer. However, you should consider the disadvantage due to the possible loss of sensitivity which could cause a measurable depth loss in terms of maximum depth capability.
  • Page 12 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 12 Apply the mixture to the clean location on the hull and to the face of the transducer in a small amount. Press the face of the transducer into the spot of epoxy and slowly rotate it ¼ turn to remove any air bubbles and until the transducer is physically against the hull or with ¼”...

  • Page 13: Glossary

    LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 13 GLOSSARY A partial list of terms used is presented herein. BEAM ANGLE: GAIN (SENSITIVITY): gain you will require. RANGE: THROUGH HULL FITTINGS: TRANSDUCER: TRANSDUCER FREQUENCY: A transducer beam angle is shaped in an inverted cone (narrow at the top and larger at the bottom).
  • Page 14 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 14 TROUBLESHOOTING: SYMPTOM: CHECK: SYMPTOM: “0.0” FLASHING in display window. POSSIBLE REASON: The unit is not receiving an echo which could be caused by a variety of reasons. As previously described, this could mean that the Sensitivity Adjustment was turned too much in one direction, actually squelching out the echo.
  • Page 15 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 15 SYMPTOM: Unit smoked. REASON: A wire from he transducer was accidentally plugged into the Remote Alarm terminal located next to the power + or - terminals. HOW TO SOLVE: Return the unit to the factory for repair.
  • Page 16 LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 16 Each depth gauge is tested at the factory with a transducer located in a water tank and the Shallow Water Sensitivity is factory pre-set. However, during shipment, after installation or in your local waterways, it may require that you perform this minor adjustment so that it performs to its maximum potential on your boat.

  • Page 17: Care And Maintenance

    LTD260.qxd 12/15/98 8:24 AM Page 17 CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Never spray directly with a hose or otherwise submerge your unit. Never use harsh cleaners or solvents (gasoline, window cleaner etc.) to clean your instrument or the transducer or paddle wheel.
