Routing Cables and Connecting the Control Head
For HELIX 7 models,
use the following instructions to route the cables:
1. Route all cables (power, transducer, accessories, Ethernet) through the cable pass-through
window to your control head.
2. Insert the cable connectors into the correct ports on the control head. Refer to the illustrations
Control Head Ports
. The ports are labeled and the connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect
installation, so do not force the connector into the wrong port.
For HELIX 8, 9, and 10 models,
use the following instructions to route the cables to the cable tray:
1. Route all cables (power, transducer, accessories, Ethernet) through the cable pass-through
window to your control head.
2. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screws from the bottom of the cable tray.
3. Hold the cable tray together and turn it over, so the Humminbird logo is facing up. Lift the
cover and set it aside.
4. See the illustration
Locating the Cable Tray Slots
. Insert each cable connector into the correct
slots in the tray.
Each slot is shaped specifically for each connector, and insertion should be easy. Route the
cables using the grooves in the tray.
CAUTION!
It is important to place the connectors into the correct slots and right side up.
NOTE:
If you are installing a MEGA 360 ICE in addition to the ICE transducer, you will route the
MEGA 360 ICE sonar cable to the control head and the ICE transducer will connect to the
MEGA 360 Y-cable. See the
MEGA 360 ICE Installation Guide
for more details.
5. Place the cover onto the tray. Hold the tray together and turn it over.
