INSTALLATION PREPARATION INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Determining How to Mount the Transducer Your Humminb ird fishfinder includes a standard transducer. This transducer can be mounted on the transom of the boat or bonded to the inside of a fiberglass hull boat. The transom installation, which is the most widely used, places the transducer on the outside [...]

INSTALLATION PREPARATION ALTERNATE M OUNTING METHODS ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS Your Humminbird fishfinder comes with everything necessary for installation and operation on most boats. However, there are several situations which may require a different type of transducer. In board boats, wood or metal hulls, and sail boats create un[...]

INSTALLATION PREPARATION TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE Other transducers are available as replacements for the standard transducer. You may exchange your new and unassembled transducer for another type by returning i t to the address listed in Customer Support. Some transducers may have additional cost. Refer to the Accessory catalog or c[...]

INSTALLAT ION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Do not begin this transducer installation until you read the Installation Preparation in the Operation Guide. This chapter contains information critical to the correct installation of your transducer. Due to the wide variety of b oat hulls, only general instructions are presented in the installation guide. Each bo[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION • If the propeller(s) is (are) forward of the transom, it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered. Step Two - Drill the Mounting Holes 1. Remove the mounting template from the front of the Operations Manual. 2. Hold the te[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Four - Mount the Transducer to the Transom 1. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom. 2. Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom (Figure 8). 3. U se either a flat head screwdriver, a 5/16" (8mm) hex driver, or a 5/16" (8mm) socket to mount th[...]

mounting bracket. Drill this hole and install the screw after final testing and adjustments have been completed.[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Six - Route the Cable There are several ways to route the transducer c able to the to the area where the control head will be installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat. Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring that the cable can be [...]

INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION Inside the hull installation requires the mount system and control head be installed and operational. See Installing the Control Head for instruction on installing the unit. Inside the hull mountin g generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass - hulled boats. [...]

The transducer cannot transmit through air. The water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface.[...]

INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION 3. Power up the Control Head. 4. Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the Control Head. If the unit functions well at low speeds but b egins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer needs to be moved. If depth performance is required, test the fish[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step One - Determine Where to Mount Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head. Consider the following to determine best location: • The cables for power, transducer and temp/speed accessories (if applicable) should be installed first and must reach the mo[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION and one amp fuse (not inc luded) for the protection of the unit (Figure 21). Humminbird is not responsible for over voltage or over current failures. In order to minimize the potential for interference with other marine electronics a separate power source (such as a second batter y) may be necessary. Step Thre[...]

Optional: If the ca bles pass outside the mounting bracket, install the hole cover over the hole and fasten in place using the two #8 x 7/8” (22mm) wood screws (Figure 24).[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step Five - Assembling the Connector Holder 1. Insert the cabl e connectors into the connector holder. The cable connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the connector holder (Figure 26). The slots for the connectors are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so do not force the connector [...]

INSTALLATION TEST THE INSTALLATION TEST THE INSTALLATION Testing should be performed with the boat in the water, however you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat trailered. Press POWER once to turn the unit on. There will be an audible chirp when any button is pressed to confirm the button press. If the unit does not power - up, ensu[...]

TESTING THE INSTALLATION After installing your Wide View unit and transducer, you are ready to test the installation. Testing should be performed on the water, since that is the best way to confirm your transducer's p erformance. With your boat in the water, press POWER once to turn the unit on. If you press and hold the POWER button, the simu[...]

USING THE WIDE VIEW The Wide View is simple to use. Simply press the POWER button, and the unit will automatically locate the bottom, adjust the depth range and sensitivity to an appropriate level, and draw a picture of the terrain beneath your boat. If POWER is the only but ton you press, you will benefit from the advanced automatic bottom trackin[...]

The Wide View allows you a number of ways to display sonar information. Some features are used in conjunction with special accessories such as the Boat Speed and Water Temp erature gauge, or "Wide Side" side looking transducer. Figure A shows the default screen layout. If you are using the temperature/speed accessory, the screen layout wi[...]

If you are using the Wide Side accessory transducer, th e screen layout will look like Figure C. Later, you will learn of another feature called "advanced operation". This feature uses yet another screen layout as shown in Figure D which maximizes the display for the terrain and target presentation. The numb er of vertical pixels (picture[...]

The transmitted sonar signal travels downward, and is reflected back toward the surface by the botto m or other objects for display on screen. The signal does not stop there - it is reflected downward again by the surface of the water, and a weak "second return" is usually visible if the depth range is sufficient to see it. A second retur[...]

narrow beam, it is located directly u nder your boat, and is displayed as a solid fish symbol. If a target is seen in the wide beam only, it can be assumed that the target is at the outside of the sonar coverage area, not directly under the boat, and is displayed as a hollow fish symbol. CONTROL FUNCTIONS The Wide View unit uses only seven buttons [...]

Transducer The Wide View uses a special "dual element" transducer that transmits a wide and narrow beam simultaneously. Using two different beams allows the unit to compare the returns from each beam individually, and gain more information abo ut the terrain below. For instance, if a fish is detected in the wide beam only, the target may [...]

If you are using the optional Wide Side transducer, and have selected sid e - looking operation, the adjust ments available in the Transducer menu will be "Left", "Right", and "Both". More information about t hese options is discussed in "Wide Side Operation".[...]

Sensitivity As the Wide View receives returned signals, the sensitivity of the receiver is adjusted automatically based on a number of factors such as the depth of the water, and the signal clar ity. In murky water, full of debris, the Wide View will select a lower sensitivity setting. In clear water, where there is little debris to defract the son[...]

Another use of the Sensitivity menu is to select the bottom representation. The Wide View normally displays a variable Structure ID bottom, which can allow experienced users to determine the texture or relative hardness of the bottom. For simplicity, you can select a black bottom using the ENTER button. This blackens in the display below the bottom[...]

Range The Wide View adjusts the depth range automatically, so the bottom return is displayed at the bottom 1/3 of the display. This leaves the top 2/3 to display anything between the surface and the bottom. As your boat moves over deeper or shallower water, the unit adjusts the depth range of the display to keep the bottom return in the same genera[...]

Once you are in zoom, refer to the preview area and adjust the depth of the zoom range by using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons. The Zoom menu will not appear when an adjustment is made unless MENU is pressed. The digital depth readout will continue to tra ck the bottom even when Zoom is enabled. Bottom Lock is a function of zoom, except the depth ad[...]

Bottom Alarm The Wide View co ntains an audible alarm to warn you of shallow water depths. This alarm is adjustable from 2' to 99' of depth. To enable the alarm, simply adjust the alarm depth using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons, and press ENTER. Whenever the depth of the water beneath your boat is equal to or less than the selected alarm [...]

ID ID is the automatic identification of target returns based on the strength of the returned signal and other factors. Three options are available: ID "On" displays targets as one of three differen t size fish symbols. Assuming the dual beam transducer is selected, these fish symbols can be either hollow, indicating that the target is de[...]

ID "Off" disables the units interpretation of targets, and displays the "raw" sonar information as it is received. Advanced users may prefer this type of presentation, so they can make there own interpretation from the information displayed. TripLog Triplog provides a time/distance calculation, based on input from the optional s[...]

Note: The optional Speed & Temperature accessory must be connected for Triplog to work. System Options The System Options menu allows the adjustment of several additional features. These adjustments are usually made initially, and rarely thereafter. To make these adjustments, first enter the System Options full screen menu with the ENTER key. T[...]

Sonar Mode is used to select the Side - Looking mode of operation if the Wide Side transducer is used. Thi s setting changes the mode of operation of the Wide View to present information gathered from either side of the boat, and should not be used with the normal transducer. Refer to "Wide Side Operation" for more detailed information. U[...]

ADVANCED FEATURES The Wide View contains the unique ability to be adaptable in operation to match the experience level of the user. Users inexperienced in the operation of the Wide View should use the factory "Normal" setting. As your experience increases, you wi ll benefit from many of the changes that occur when "Advanced" ope[...]

Also, several kits are available that include a Wide Side transducer with a switch or an additional mounting system. (See Section One, Available Accessories) When the Wide Side transducer is connected directly to your unit, or selected using a transducer switch, the unit setup must be changed to correspond with the type of trans ducer being used. T[...]

When you exit the "System Options" menu, the view you will see on - screen is shown (bottom, left). Viewing both left and right sides simultaneously gives yo u an excellent tool when searching for bait fish or following a creek bed, however greater display resolution can be achieved by viewing only one side. Experiment with the Wide Side [...]

Most other menu functions work the same in Wid e Side mode as with the standard dual beam transducer. "Bottom Alarm", "Fish Alarm", and "Sensitivity" have the same effect. "Triplog" is available, if the optional speed and temperature accessory is connected. To return to the normal "down" operation u[...]
