Place the transducer into the epoxy, twisting and turning it to force
any air bubbles out from under the transducer face. The face of the
transducer should be parallel with the hull, with a minimum amount
of epoxy between the hull and transducer. After the epoxy dries,
route the cable to the sonar unit.
Speed/Temperature Sensors
This unit accepts up to three temperature sensors which can monitor
surface water, live well, bait well and virtually any other temperature.
If you want to use more than one temperature sensor or a speed sensor,
you must purchase the optional MY-4X adapter cable. You also need to
be careful when purchasing the temperature sensors, because each
temperature sensor has its own fixed electronic "address." The sensors
are labeled "Water," "T-2" (or Temp-2) and "T-3" (or Temp-3).
The first "Water" temperature sensor is built into the transducer. This
is the sensor that measures surface water temperature. If you want two
(or more) temperature readings from other locations, you'll need to use
the proper sensors. For example, you can't use two additional T-3 sen-
sors. The sensors that fit this unit are:
•
TS-1X This sensor will over-ride the temperature sensor
built into the transducer and over-ride the tem-
perature sensor in a ST-TGY combination sen-
sor. (This sensor is not recommended.)
•
TS-2X One sensor for "T-2" temperature display.
•
TS-3X One sensor for "T-3" temperature display.
•
SP-X One speed sensor for "Speed" display.
•
ST-TGY This combination sensor will provide speed and
temperature readings, but the temperature
reading will be displayed as the "Water" tem-
perature because it will over-ride the tempera-
ture sensor in the transducer. (This sensor is
not recommended.)
See the wiring diagram on the following page for temperature and
speed sensor combinations.
