1100 Series™ Introduction Y our 1100 Series™ Ultra Wide Screen F ishing System comes in several diff erent configurations. See the following list of products, all of which ar e cover ed by this ma.
The sound pulses ar e transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. V ery high frequencies (455 kHz) ar e used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution.
High Definition Side Imaging Sonar (1197c SI Combo models only) Y our 1100 Series™ 1197c SI Combo uses Side Imaging sonar to provide a wide yet precise surv ey of a large area of water , including detailed bottom topography and fish-attracting structure orientation.
QuadraBeam PL US™ Sonar (optional-purchase QuadraBeam PL US™ transducer only) Y our 1100 Series™ Fishing System supports the optional- purchase QuadraBeam PL US™ transducer . Quadr aBeam PLUS™ sonar pro vides an extremely wide (90°) area of coverage.
The GPS Receiv er included with your 1100 Series™ Fishing system allo ws you to combine easy-to-use fishing system and navigation capabilities. T he following GPS functionality is currently supporte.
Accessory Bus Use the Accessory Bus to expand the functionality of your 1100 Series™. Accessories plug directly into the 1100 Series™, enabling Advanced features such as W eatherSense®, CannonLink™ Downrigger Controller , and the SmartCast® W ireless Sonar Link.
Installation Overvie w Please read all instructions that are rele vant for y our configuration before beginning the installation process. NO TE: Installation procedures will depend on pr oduct configuration.
Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring, this can be used to route cables. Be sure to route the cables as far as pr actical from the antenna cable of VHF radios or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference.
Control Head Installation Y ou have two choices for mounting y our 1100 Series™ control head, Gimbal mounting , where you use a surface on the boat, such as the dash, to mount the control head so that it can be tilted up or down, or In- dash mounting .
NO TE: Go to the installation instructions applicable to your GPS Receiver and accessories. Make the r equired installations and then run the cables to your control head mounting location. Do not cut any cabling (except the power cable). If your cables ar e too short, extensions are av ailable from your local dealer or online from www.
7. Place the mounting bracket on the mounting surface aligned with the drilled holes and fill the mounting holes with marine grade silicone sealant. Insert the four #10 Slotted-Hex wood scr ews into the mounting holes.
10. Insert cable connectors into the proper recesses on the cable collector insert. T he cable connectors are ke yed to pre vent rev erse installation, so be careful not to for ce the connectors into the wrong slots. If you don’t hav e a cable for ev ery hole in the insert, install the blank plugs to protect the control head from the w eather .
NO TE: Y ou ma y wish to dress the cabling with nylon wir e ties in order to hold the cables together and create a cleaner assembly . The Humminbir d® 1100 Series™ control head is now ready f or operation.
5. Insert the contr ol head through the mounting hole from the fr ont side of the dash. Place a lock washer onto each threaded rod, then secur e the bracket: place a wing nut onto each thr eaded rod and tighten fully . 6. Thr ead the cables through the opening in the back of the cable collector cov er .
9. Attach the cable collector insert to the cable collector cover using the (2) #6 Phillips scre ws provided. 10. Plug the assembled cable collector into the back of the control head, pushing gently but steadily until you feel the collector snap into place.
Connecting the Control Head P ower Cable to the Boat A 6' (2 m) long power cable is included to supply pow er to the control head. Y ou may shorten or lengthen the cable using 18 gauge multi-stranded copper wire. CA UTION: Some boats have 24 or 36 V olt electric systems, but the control head MUST be connected to a 12 VDC power supply .
T ransducer Installation Ov erview The 1157c Combo units and the 1197c SI Combo units use tw o different types of transducer s. Find the installation section that describes your transducer type.
T ransom T r ansducer Installation (1197c SI Combo models only) If you will be installing a transom mounted transducer , use the procedures in this section. T here are two pieces to the transducer mount assembly: the piv ot, and the bracket. Y our transducer comes with a two- piece metal and plastic bracket assembly .
• The best w ay to locate turbulence-free water is to vie w the transom while the boat is moving. T his method is recommended if maximum high-speed operation is a high priority . If this is not possible, select a location on the transom where the hull forw ard of this location is smooth, flat and free of protrusions or ribs.
4. Using a 5/32" (4.0 mm) bit, drill the three holes to a depth of approximately 1" (25 mm). On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively lar ger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating. Use a marine-grade silicone sealant to fill the drilled holes.
NO TE: The running position of the transducer is no w completely adjustable. Subsequent adjustment may be necessary to tweak the installation after high speed testing. T o adjust the running position of the transducer: The tr ansducer mounting bracket allows height and tilt adjustment, while the piv ot bolt allows angular adjustment.
T o route the transom tr ansducer cable: The tr ansducer cable has a low profile connector that must be routed to the point wher e the control head is mounted. Ther e are sever al ways to r oute the transducer cable to the area where the contr ol head will be installed.
T est and F inish the T ransducer Installation When you ha ve installed both the control head, the transducer , and accessories and have routed all the cables, you must perform a final test befor e locking the transducer in place.
1157c T ransducer Installation (1157c Combo models only) If you have a 1157c Combo model, ther e are three diff erent installation methods for your tr ansducer: • T ransom T ransducer • Inside the Hull T ransducer • T rolling Motor T ransducer .
1. Locating the transducer mounting location NO TE: If transom mounting is not possible because of a stepped hull or cavitation noise, and you hav e a single layer fiberglass hull, In-hull installation is an option. See Inside the Hull T ransducer Installation for more information.
• On boats with stepped hulls, it may be possible to mount the transducer on the step. Do not mount the transducer on the transom behind a step to av oid popping the transducer out of the water at higher speeds; the transducer must remain in the water f or the control head to maintain the sonar signal.
NO TE: If you have a flat -bottomed aluminum boat, some additional adjustment may be needed to accommodate the rivets on the bottom of the boat (i.e. the gap may need to be a little smaller than 1/8"). This will help you to av oid excessive turbulence at high speeds.
NO TE: It is important to take your measurement in the figure sho wing Measuring the T ransom Angle , from exactly 12 inches down fr om the top of the transom. 2. Place the two ratchets, one on either side of the transducer knuckle, so that the beads on each ratchet line up with the desired position number on the knuckle.
3. Put the pivot bolt through the assembly to hold it in position and loosely install the nut, but do NOT tighten the nut at this time. Insert the piv ot arm assembly into the mounting bracket. Do NO T snap the assembly closed, as you will need to access the mounting bracket in the next step.
7. Adjust the transducer assembly vertically , until the seam on the leading edge of the transducer (the edge closest to the transom of the boat) is level and just slightly belo w the hull.
4. Routing the Cable The tr ansducer cable has a low profile connector , which must be routed to the point where the control head is mounted. Ther e are sever al ways to r oute the transducer cable to the area where the contr ol head is installed. The most common pr ocedure routes the cable through the tr ansom into the boat.
5. Connecting the Cable Insert the transducer cable into the appropriate terminal slot. T he cable connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the cable holder on the r ear of the control head. T he slots are ke yed to prevent r ever sed installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the holder .
7. Drill the third mounting hole, using a 5/32” drill bit. Use a marine-grade silicone sealant to fill all three drilled mounting holes, especially if the holes penetrated the transom w all. NO TE: On fiber glass hulls, it is best to use progressiv ely larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating.
3. Re-position the transducer assembly against the tr ansom of the boat, then hand install the first three scre ws (two on the outside edges and one in the 3rd mounting hole). Make sure that the transducer location and the pivot angle hav e not changed, then fully tighten all three mounting screws.
NO TE: The integral temper ature probe will not w ork with in-hull mounting, so you may either want to consider purchasing a T emperature/Speed accessory , a T emp.
2. V iew the sonar signal at its best by holding the transducer over the side, immersed in the w ater , so that it is pointing straight down ov er a known flat bottom. Use the display to benchmark against the sonar signal that will be detected once the transducer is placed in the hull.
4. P ermanently mount the transducer 1. Make sure the position of the transducer is marked. 2. Y ou may hav e to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of this procedure. 3. Remove the water from inside the hull and thor oughly dry the mounting surface.
T rolling Motor T r ansducer Installation If you want to install your tr ansducer on a trolling motor , use this procedure. Several styles of the transducer are compatible with trolling motor mounting. If y ou have a tr olling motor bracket, ref er to the separate installation instructions that are included with the brack et.
GPS Receiver Installation T o optimize performance of the GPS receiver , mount it in an area that has full exposure to the sky . The effective area of r eception is 10° above the horiz on. Different circumstances determine the mounting method appropriate for your GPS r eceiver .
2. Screw on the receiver base to the stem first, making sure that the stem pipe does not protrude from the receiv er base. This adds pr otection to the cable when pulling it through the pipe stem. In addition to this, de-burr the pipe edges to reduce cable abrasion.
NO TE : Remember to seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed with marine-gr ade silicone sealant to protect your boat from water damage. 5. Align the GPS receiver screw holes o ver the pilot scre w holes and attach with the #8 - 1 1/4" Phillips head screws.
Finish Routing the Cable and Check GPS Receiv er Operation After installing a GPS receiver , you should perform the following procedur e to finish routing the GPS cable to the control head and to check to make sure that the contr ol head is working correctly .
T esting the System Installation After you have completed the installation of the contr ol head and any other accessories such as the GPS receiver , and have made all the cabling connections required, you must test the installation bef ore using the system.

Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the 1100 Series™ display . The display does NO T show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the w ater .
Sonar Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to cr eate a profile of the Bottom Contour . The type of bottom can be determined fr om the return charted on the display . A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the displa y .
WhiteLine® highlights the str ongest sonar returns in white, resulting in a distinctiv e outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display .
Understanding Side Imaging (1197c SI Combo models only) It is important to understand how Side Imaging technology produces the displa y available on the 1100 Series™.
What’s on the Side Imaging Displa y (1197c SI Combo models only) Side Imaging displays a number of easily recognizable featur es that allow for accur ate interpretation of bottom contour and structure. For Side Imaging rock and grav el provide a clear er sonar return than mud and sand because of their relative density .
53 ate interpretation of bottom contour and structure. F or Side Imaging, the bottom composition determines the intensity of the sonar return. For example, r relative density . Upward slopes that face the transducer r eflect sonar better than downwar d slopes that face awa y from the transducer .
Side Imaging T echnolog y: How It W orks (1197c SI Combo models only) Side Imaging sonar uses two very precise sonar beams that ar e directed to either side of the boat and “illuminate” the bottom contour , structure, and fish, and displa y results in a “picture-like” image.
Side Imaging: On the W ater Interpretation (1197c SI Combo models only) Use the following side imaging examples to help you interpr et the side imaging display . Imaging Tips Boat speed: Side imaging is best performed at boat speeds between 2 to 6 mph.
