9 Display Installation Mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables.
10 Bezel Removal 1: T o removing the bezel from the 5 and 7-inch models the card slot door must be open 2: T o remove the bezel use a at head screwdriver . 3: Insert screwdriver into the bezel release slots and pry out and away from the unit. The bottom of the bezel will release from the unit.
11 Panel Mount 1: Attach the ush mounting template to the selected mounting position using adhesive tape. 2: Drill pilot holes for the four hole saw cuts and for the four self tapping screws used to secure the display . 3: Use a hole saw to cut the four corner radius 4: Cut along the dotted line and remove the shaded area.
12 Bracket Mount An alternative to ush mounting the HDS display is to bracket mount the unit. This method has the advantage that the display can be easily removed when not in use and may be tilted to achieve the best possible viewing angle. 1: Loosely screw securing knobs to the Display unit.
13 8: Slide the display into the mounting bracket and secure in place with the bracket knobs. 9: Attach the bezel. Firmly clip the front bezel in place.
14 T ransducer Installation Recommended T ools and Supplies T ools and Supplies (not included) If you plan to route the transducer cable through the transom, you will need either a 1” drill bit or a 5/8” drill bit depending on the size of the transducer cable connector .
15 Skimmer Installation Instructions T ransducer location and installation is one of the most critical steps in sonar installation. Select a transducer location T o function properly the Skimmer transducer must be in the water at all times and in a location that has a smooth ow of water when the boat is moving.
16 Aligning Ratchets on T ransducer bracket Aligning ratchets on one-piece bracket: The one-piece bracket assembly includes two black plastic ratchets. The ratchets are used to align the transducer with the boat hull. Each ratchet has the letters A-E molded into it.
17 1: Place two of the ratchets in each side of the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the alignment mark molded into each bracket. Ratchet Bracket Alignment mark 4: Hold the transducer assembly against the transom. Look at he transducer from the side.
18 Metal washer Lock nut Rubber washers Bolt Metal washer Ratchets Ratchets Bolt Small at washer Thick rubber washer Lock nut Large at washer Assembling the T ransducer bracket After determining the correct position for the ratchets, loosely assemble the transducer and bracket assembly as shown in one of the two diagrams below .
19 Aligning and Attaching the T ransducer Adjust the transducer so that its "face" is parallel with the ground and its center line is even with the bottom of the boat hull.
20 1: Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. When the transducer and bracket are properly aligned mark its position on the hull. 2: Drill the mounting holes for the transducer bracket. For the one- piece bracket use a #29 bit (for the #10 screws).
21 If you drill a hole in the transom for the transducer cable, make sure it is located above the waterline. Seal the hole with an above or below waterline marine grade sealant. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable near the transducer .
22 Adjustable strap Route the transducer cable along the trolling motor shaft. Use plastic ties (not included) to secure the cable to the shaft. Flat washer Lock nut Bolt Internal tooth washer Plastic bracket TMB-S T rolling Motor Bracket Installation Note: The TMB-S bracket is designed for one-piece bracket transducers only .
23 Skimmer T ransducer Shoot-thru-hull Installation Before attempting any installation on boats with otation material sandwiched within the hull, consult the boat manufacturer . In a shoot-thru-hull installation the transducer is epoxied to the inside of the boat hull.
24 A transducer can not shoot through wood or metal hulls. W ood and metal hulls require either a transom mount or "thru-hull" installation. For shoot-thru-hull applications many boat hulls have a at keel pad that offers a good transducer mounting surface.
25 T ransducer epoxied to hull. T ransducer Epoxy Hull Pod T ransducer Installation Instructions The following instructions explain how to install a Pod transducer inside a hull or on a trolling motor . Read the following instructions carefully before attempting any installation.
26 Sand both the inside surface of the hull, where the transducer is to be epoxied, and the face of the transducer . Y ou may want to start with a rougher grit sandpaper , such as 60 grit, and nish with a smoother grit, such as 160 grit, sandpaper .
27 2: Slip the clamp around the trolling motor , as shown below . Tighten the hose clamp securely to the trolling motor . 1: Slide the hose clamp through the Pod transducer brackets, as shown below .
28 System Architecture This section explains how the HDS connects to other devices as part of a system. The HDS has a highly scalable system architecture. A system can consist of a basic stand alone shnder or chart plotter , or expand to a networked, multi-display system connected to a wide range of accessories.
29 Wiring the HDS Wiring Guidelines Most installation problems are caused by shortcuts taken with system cables. When wiring the HDS follow the guidelines below .
30 Power/Data Cable 12 V DC Red (FUSE) Black Y ellow (Accessory W ake Up) + _ Y ellow TX (+) Data cable (5 wire) Power (3 wire) NMEA0183 W iring RS-422 All HDS Units Alternative NMEA0183 Wiring RS-232.
31 NMEA 0183 wiring HDS-5 & HDS-7 Data Cable T o exchange NMEA 0183 data, the HDS-5 and HDS-7 units have a NMEA 0183 version 2.0 (RS-422) communication port.
32 NMEA 2000 wiring All NMEA 2000 systems must consist of 12V power , two (2) 120 Ohm terminators (one on each end of the network), T joiners and NMEA 2000 Devices.
33 Ethernet The HDS system uses an Ethernet network to interconnect high bandwidth devices such as other HDS displays, radar and sonar . Each HDS display has one network port with 5 pin connector . Ethernet network has orange connectors that are retained by a bayonet type locking collar .
34 HDS-8 & HDS-10 Data Bridging Supported NMEA0183 sentences entering the system are bridged (converted) to NMEA2000 and distributed on the Lowrance backbone for all other displays to use. Certain NMEA2000 PGNs (messages/sentences) are bridged across to NMEA0183 to be available as an output from any HDS display .

39 Commissioning Check List Commissioning your system will improve the functionality and operation of your unit. The following pages will give you an overview of the minimum settings we recommend you set up before you start operating your HDS. Please refer to the HDS operations guide for more information on how to change these settings.
40 Selecting a Fishing Mode Fishing modes enhance the performance of your unit by providing preset packages of sonar settings geared to specic shing conditions. T o select a shing mode: Press Menu twice. Select Sonar and press enter . Highlight Fishing Mode and press enter .
41 Magnetic V ariation Converts magnetic north data to true north, increasing the accuracy of navigation information. The Magnetic V ariance Auto setting, automatically converts magnetic north to true north. Note: When using manual mode, you will have to input the magnetic variance.
42 W ater speed off set W ater speed calibration is used to adjust the speed value from the paddle wheel to match the actual speed. This can be measured either from the GPS speed over ground (SOG) or by timing the boat over a known distance. W ater speed calibration should be performed with as little wind and current movement as possible.
