Thank you for choosing Humminbird®, America's #1 name in fishfinders. Humminbird® has built its reputation by designing and manufacturing top-quality, thoroughly reliable marine equipment. Your Humminbird® is designed for trouble-free use in even the harshest marine environment. In the unlikely event that your Humminbird® does require repairs, we offer an exclusive Service Policy - free of charge during the first year after purchase, and available at a reasonable rate after the one-year period. [. . . ] If depth performance is required, test the transducer in water at the desired depth. Once you have determined the best mounting location using the above steps, mark the position of the transducer. INSIDE THE HULL TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION NOTE: If you have a puck transducer, please use the procedure found in the Inside the Hull Mounting, Puck Transducers Only section instead. In-hull mounting generally produces good results in single- Transducer Mounted Inside the Hull thickness fiberglass-hulled boats. Humminbird® cannot guarantee depth performance when transmitting and receiving through the hull of the boat, since some signal loss occurs. The amount of loss depends on hull construction and thickness, as well as the installation position and process. Do not use silicone or any other soft adhesive to install the transducer, as this material reduces the sensitivity of the unit. Do not use five-minute epoxy, as it has a tendency to cure before all the air bubbles can be purged, thus reducing signal strength. NOTE: In-hull mounting requires an installed and operational depthsounder. Preferred Mounting Area 15 16 531440-1_B - HDR610 Manual_Eng. qxd 10/12/2005 11:05 AM Page 18 3. Once the mounting location is determined and you have marked the position of the transducer, route the cable from the transducer to the depthsounder. CAUTION!Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable, and try not to damage the cable insulation. Route the cable as far as possible from any VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. If the cable is too short, extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50' (15 m). For assistance, contact the Customer Resource Center at www. humminbird. com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more information. TROLLING MOTOR TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION Several styles of the transducer are compatible with trolling motor mounting. If you have a trolling motor bracket, refer to the separate installation instructions that are included with the bracket. Trolling Motor Transducer Options If you don't have a trolling motor transducer, there are several options: · You may purchase a Trolling Motor Adapter kit that will allow you to mount the transducer on the trolling motor. · You may also exchange your NEW and UNASSEMBLED transducer (with mounting hardware included) for a trolling motor transducer. There are also several transducer switches available that support the following configurations: · Two depthsounders with one transducer or two transducers with one depthsounder. NOTE: Call the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468 for details and pricing, or visit www. humminbird. com for more information. 4. Permanently Mounting the Transducer NOTE: Once permanently mounted, you will not be able to make further adjustments to the transducer. 1. Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the surface is excessively rough, it may be necessary to sand the area to provide a smooth mounting surface. Mix an ample quantity of two-part slow cure epoxy slowly and thoroughly. Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of the hull with epoxy. Press the transducer into place with a slight twisting motion to purge any trapped air from underneath, keeping the pointed end of the transducer body pointed forward, towards the bow. NOTE: Proper operation requires the pointed end of the transducer body to face towards the bow. TEST AND FINISH THE INSTALLATION After installing your HDR 610, transducer, and cables, you should test the installation. Testing should be performed on the water, since that is the only way to evaluate the performance of your transducer. When the boat ignition is turned on, the HDR 610 will perform a self test, and then begin transmitting.
