Page 187 Field-installable pictured connector 010-11095-00: female Can be used to shorten any Garmin NMEA 2000 backbone or drop cable NMEA 2000 Glossary Backbone: This is the main communication path of the NMEA 2000 network. The backbone can be as simple as three T-connectors connected side to side with terminators on both ends, or can expand to include many T-connectors separated by backbone cables.
Page 188 NMEA 2000 Network Planning and Construction The backbone is the main communication channel of an NMEA 2000 network to which your NMEA 2000 devices connect. You must connect each NMEA 2000 device to the backbone using a T-connector. You must connect the NMEA 2000 backbone to a power source, and you must install terminators at both ends of the network for proper functionality.
Page 189 Sample NMEA 2000 Network NOTE: This diagram illustrates only the NMEA 2000 data connections to each device or sensor on the network. Some devices or sensors can be powered by the NMEA 2000 network, and others may require a separate power connection.
Page 190 Linear Backbone Construction The backbone is the main communication path of the NMEA 2000 network, so it is extremely important to construct the backbone properly. An improperly constructed backbone may prevent the network from functioning, or you may experience unexpected performance. The backbone consists of a combination of T-connectors and cables, terminated on both ends.
Page 191 Power Connection Considerations NOTICE Connecting the NMEA 2000 network to a power source greater than 12 Vdc may damage devices connected to the network. You must connect the NMEA 2000 network to power through the ignition or other external switch, or it will drain the boat battery when not in use.
Page 192 Voltage drop = resistance × distance × load × 0.1 Resistance: Refers to cable resistance (ohms/m). The Garmin cable resistance value is 0.053. Distance: Refers to the distance from the power connection to the device located furthest away on the network (in meters).
Page 193 Backbone cable Length = 10 m Backbone cable Length = 6 m When the voltage-drop formula is applied to this example, the voltage drop is less than 1.67 Vdc. This NMEA 2000 network will function correctly when powered at the end: Resistance ×...

Page 195 Network Termination You must install terminators at the ends of an NMEA 2000 backbone for it to function correctly. You can install either two standard terminators or one female terminator and an in-line terminator on an NMEA 2000 network. NOTE: You must not install more than two terminators on an NMEA 2000 network. If the NMEA 2000 network is built using correct linear backbone construction, you should install one female terminator and one male terminator on the sides of the final T-connectors on opposite ends of the backbone.

Page 211 If your transducer cable is not long enough to reach the chartplotter, you can add an extension cable (Garmin part GT36UHD/GT56UHD number 010-11617-42 or 010-11617-32, not included). To avoid signal degradation, do not extend the cable more than 9 m (30 TRANSDUCERS ft.).
Page 212 The transducer must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal performance. • On single-drive boats, the transducer must not be mounted in the path of the propeller. The transducer can cause cavitation that can degrade the performance of the boat and damage the propeller. •...

Page 215 Introduction Getting optimal performance from your marine transducer depends on its optimal placement on your boat. This document provides assistance when selecting the optimal mounting location for Garmin ® transom-mount, thru-hull, and in-hull transducers. Transducer Types Before you can select the best mounting location for a transducer, you must identify its type.
Page 216 • Not recommended for use with vessels with stepped hulls Thru-Hull Transducers Overview These transducers require installation through a hole in the hull. Garmin thru-hull transducers include the following: • Traditional sonar models • GT-TH models with ClearVü and SideVü sonar •...
Page 217 In-Hull Transducers Overview These transducers attach to the inside floor of the hull. The following list describes in-hull transducers. • Do not require a hole through the hull • Send the signal from within the vessel which reduces signal strength •...
Page 218 Transducer Beam Angle Your transducer sends a sonar signal outward through the water. When the signal hits a fish or an object, the signal bounces back to the transducer . Your transducer works with your chartplotter to interpret the signal and display an image.
Page 219 Transducer Signal Interference Signal interference detracts from your transducer's performance. You can reduce signal interference by mounting the transducer away from common sources of interference. Type of interference Source/Example Electronic devices • Audio equipment Electromagnetic interference (EMI) • Motors • Radar Hull features •...
Page 220 Electromagnetic Signal Interference Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is created by a device and transmitted in the form of an electrical current through a power cord or emitted as an electromagnetic field. Sources can include trolling motors, power cables, bilge pumps, magnetic sources, stereos, radar, and VHF radios. Widely spaced vertical lines on the chartplotter sonar view may indicate acoustic or electromagnetic interference.
Page 221 Placement Considerations for Transom-Mount Transducers You should consider the placement of your transom-mount transducer with regard to the waterline, engines, propeller, and hull. Vessel Waterline and Your Transom-Mount Transducer The vessel's waterline is an important placement consideration for a transom-mount transducer. The vessel's waterline is the level at which the vessel sits in the water.
Page 222 Hull Features and Your Transom-Mount Transducer Hull features that generate turbulence can affect your transducer's performance and cause it to wear prematurely. In general, if you use your transom-mount transducer while operating at higher speeds, you should mount the transducer close to the keel (centerline of the boat). Item Boat Feature Transom...
Page 223 TIP: Garmin transducer accessories can help reduce interference from turbulence. • For vessels with a jack plate, Garmin offers a jack plate mount to enable you to mount the transom-mount transducer on the jack plate (Transducer Jack Plate Mount, page 14).
Page 224 External Thru-Hull Type An external thru-hull type extends beyond the outer surface of the hull. Optimal placement is parallel with the waterline. When mounted on a flatter area of the hull, this type does not require a fairing block When mounted on an area of the hull with a greater deadrise angle (Deadrise Angle, page 4), a fairing block enables you to position the device parallel with the waterline...
Page 225 Propulsion and Your Thru-Hull Transducer Your boat's propulsion system generates turbulence when the boat is moving, and turbulence can affect your thru-hull transducer's performance. These placement recommendations help keep your thru-hull transducer away from turbulence from the propulsion system. In general, optimal placement for your thru-hull transducer is in the bilge near the keel and transom where the water under the hull is smoothest while the boat is moving.
Page 226 Sending the sonar signal through the hull can reduce the transducer's depth capability, so mounting it over the smoothest water helps optimize the transducer's performance. Garmin offers in-hull models that are optimized for higher speeds and greater depths and for hull deadrise angles of 0 to 25 degrees (Deadrise Angle, page 4).
Page 227 If your in-hull transducer is not performing as expected, you may need to refill its tank or chamber using non-toxic RV/marine antifreeze or mineral oil Garmin Transducer Accessories Garmin transducer accessories can provide extra placement options and optimize your transducer's performance. For more information, go to garmin.com/transducers about Garmin accessories.
Page 228 The Garmin stainless steel spray shield is for Garmin transom-mount transducers with compatible stainless steel mounts only. Some Garmin transducers have built-in spray shields.Garmin also offers mounting brackets for compatible transducers that allow adjustment to reduce excessive spray.
