Determine the Mounting Location
It is important to consider the following information when determining
the mounting location for the Sensor:
• Interference: Do NOT mount the Sensor close to a VHF antenna
or within the active area of a radar. Do NOT install it near ferrous
metals or near anything that can create a magnetic field.
Hardware and cables that handle large currents, such as
batteries and power cables, are also examples of equipment that
may cause interference.
• Reception: Mount the Sensor in an area that has full exposure to
the sky. The effective area of reception is 5° above the horizon.
• Surface: Whether the Sensor cable will be routed down through
the mounting surface or to the side, or if you're using a stem
mount, the mounting surface will influence how you install the
sensor. For details, see Section 2, Install the Sensor.
• Cables: Test run the Sensor cable from the chosen mounting
location to the control head to confirm that the cable is long
enough to accommodate the planned route. See Section 3,
Connect the Cable.
NOTE: 10 ft (3 m) extension cables may be purchased
from Humminbird if your planned cable route exceeds
20 ft (6 m). Maximum cable length, including extension
cables, should not exceed 50 ft (16 m). To purchase
extension cables, or other related accessories, visit our
Web site at humminbird.com or call Customer Service
