FLS 2D Operating Instructions
Demo Mode
To enter demo mode, ensure the unit is switched off first. Then press and hold the
power button until a second beep is heard. The sonar display should appear with one
of the 3 demo seabeds. ‘Demo Mode’ will appear in the Status Indicator box in the
top right hand corner of the display.
Pressing the up or down arrow key will cycle the demo display around 3 demo
screens. The menu is operational but some settings will have no effect in demo mode.
In particular, shallow alarm (although the alarm bell will be shown), gain level, noise
filter, colour mode and echoes colour will not work in demo mode.

FLS 2D Installation Instructions
Fitting the Skin Fitting
A hole in the boat must be taken seriously! - If in doubt use an experienced
shipwright.
·
For the standard plastic skin fitting - cut a 45 mm (1
3
/
4
") diameter hole.
·
For the Professional bronze skin fitting - cut a hole 60 mm (2
1
/
2
") in diameter.
·
Fit the skin fitting with reinforcing pads if needed or wedges if required to
ensure the transducer is as near to vertical as possible (fore/aft AND port/
starboard).
·
Use plenty of underwater sealant, but take care to clean off the thread
thoroughly afterwards.
·
Secure with the nut on the inside. Do not use excessive force on the nut.
·
If the vessel will be floated
before
the transducer is fitted, the blanking cap
provided must be fitted to seal the skin fitting. (N.B. for our American
customers, for “skin fitting” read “thru-hull fitting”).
Safety
The transducer provided is designed to shear off (in the event of a severe impact),
flush with the hull, leaving the solid epoxy filled portion in the through hull fitting,
and thus poses no risk of water ingress.
Maximum hull thickness:
75 mm (3")
