INTRODUCTION
The Z-9500 represents one of the best values in sportfishing sonar today. It rivals othercombination sonar/loran unitscostingmuch more in featuresandperformance. The2-9500offers easy-to-use operation at thetouchofabutton. The widescreenshowsthe underwaterworki
with high resolution and detail. It also displays digital depth, boat speed, surface watertemperature, and distance travelled (distance
log).
Although the Z-9500has many features and functions,the "soft key" menu systemmakes it easy to use. Above all, don'tbe afraid to try differentfeatures and functionsonthe unit. You can'thurt it by press- ing buttons!
Readthis manual andtake it with you the first few times you use your unit. It makes agreatreferenceshould you need it.
MOUNTING - DISPLAY UNIT
Install the Z-9500 in any convenient location,,providedthere is clear- ancebehind the unit when it is tiltedforthebest viewing angle. Holes in the bracket baseallowwood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panelstosecure themounting hardware, Makecertainthere is enough roombehind theunit to attach thepowerandtransducercables.
The smallest hole that will pass one power or transducerplug is one inch. After the hole is drilled, pass the transducer connector up throughthe holefirst, then passthepowercabledownthrough it.
After the cables have been routed, fill the hole with a good marine sealingcompound. Offsetthe bracket to coverthe majorityofthe hole.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The Z-9500works from a twelve-volt battery system only. You can attach the power cableto an accessoryor powerbuss, howeverif you haveproblems with electrical interference, then attachthe powercable
directlytothebattery. Ifthecableis not longenough,splice#18 gauge wireonto it.
Requires optional ST-TSpeed/Temperaturesensor.

PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompresso
The power cable has three wires; red,white, and black. Red is the positivelead, black is negative or ground. Attachthe in-linefuse holder
tothe redlead as closetothepowersource as possible. For example,
if you have to extendthe power cable to the battery or power buss, attach the fuse holderto the batteryor powerbuss. This will protect
both the unit and the powercable in the eventof a short. The white wireis fora NMEA interface. TheZ-9500sendsdata for an autopilot
or other electronicnavigation devices through this wire. If the white wireis notused,tape the end so that it cannot short.

Note:This is an "UnofficialpreliminaryCoverage Diagram". Coverage wascomputed usingconservative estimates of station range limits,
atmospheric noise, and grid geometry.
No otheradjustments are required oncethe cableis connected.TheZ-
9500 automatically sendsNMEA information outthe white wireonce it acquires and "locks on"tothe stations.
TRANSDUCER CONNECTIONS
TheZ-9500has dual frequencycapability. Itcan operate at50 or 192 kHz, separately, or at the sametime. The connectiondiagrambelow
1.showsthepropermethodto attach thetransducerstotheZ-9500. See the transducer owner'smanual fortransducerinstallation instructions.
Ifdual frequency operation isdesired, a 50 kHztransducerandthe MY- 2 transducer adapter cablemustbepurchasedsepartately.
NOISE
Minimize electrical noiseby routing the power cable away from other possible sources of electrical interference. One of the largest noise
generators is the engine'swiring hamess. For best results, keepthe power, loran module, and transducercables away from the engine wiring. Bilge pumpsandtheirwiringcan alsoradiatenoise,so keepthe cables awayfromthem, ifpossible.
VHFradio antennas and cables radiate RF energyat high powerlevels.
It is important tokeeptheZ-9500'scables awayfrom them, also.

Noisetypically shows on the sonar display. begins at slow boat speeds and gets worse as the speed increases, then the probablecause is acoustic noiseor cavitation. This noiseis not electri- cal, but is caused by air bubbles passingover the face of the trans-
ducer. |
It's |
to determine if this noise is electrical or cavitation. |
|
easy |
|
Stop the boat, put the engine in neutral, and increase the rpm. If the |
||
noise increases,then it'selectrical. If it doesn'tshow on the sonar's |
||
display, |
then the problem is cavitation. To solve this problem, the |
|
transducermust be moved out of the turbulentwaterflow or adjusted so that smoothwaterflowsover itat all boatspeeds.

The Z-9500 has reversepolarityprotection. No damage will occur to theunit ifthepowerwiresarehooked upbackwards. However, theunit will notwork until thewiring isconnectedproperly.
INSTALLATION- ELC-1 Loran-C MODULE
When choosinga mounting location, remember to install the ELC-1 where it'sclear of other antennas, wires, masts, or otherobstructions.
A high locationis preferred, however for lightning protection, the an- tenna shouldn'tbethe highest partoftheboat. Theantennashould be mounted vertically. Makecertain itis as farawayas possible fromVHF
radio antennas.
Improperperformancecan also occur if the antenna is mounted too close to metal objects such as tuna towers. Again, a locationthat
places the Loranassemblyin theclearis preferable to one that is high and obstructed.
You must purchase an eight foot stainless steel or fiberglass whip antenna. The threads are standard 3/8"-24for the whip. A ratchet
mount base is most commonly usedto mountthe Loranto the boat. The base mountingthreads are conventional 1"-14 machine thread
(NOTpipe thread). This allowsthe use of standard antenna mounting hardware. Tighten all hardware securely.
The cable suppliedwith the ELC-1 is thirty feet long. Do not cut the coil and store it out of the way. An
ifthecableis too short. Ask yourdealer or call your local servicecenter or the Eagle Factory Customer Service departmentfor moreinformation.
The ELC-1 can be attachedto a swivel bracket or hollow extension mast,ifdesired.

SENSITIVITY
Thesensitivity key on theZ-9500controls the abilityofthe unit to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes muchof the bottom information, fish signals, and other target information. High sensitivity levels enable you to see this detail,but it can also clutter the screen with noise. Typically, the best sensitivity level shows a good solid bottomsignalwith Grayline®and somesurface clutter.
When the Z-9500is inthe Automatic mode,the sensitivityis automati- callyadjusted tokeepa solidbottomsignaldisplayed,plus a little more.

It you have two signals of equal size, one with gray and the other without, then the target with gray is the stronger signal. This helps distinguish weedsfromtrees onthe bottom, or fish from structure.
GRAYLINE is adjustable. Since GRAYLINE shows the differencebe-
tween strong and weak signals, adjusting Sensitivity may require a different GRAYLINE level, also. The level chosen by the Z-9500 at
poweronisusuallyadequateformostconditions. Experiment withyour unittofind the GRAYLINEsetting that'sbest foryou.
To adjust GRAYLINE, press the SENS key. The sensitivity menu appears inthe upperleft sideofthe display, whilethe GRAYLINElabel appears immediately beneath it. Next, press the key adjacent to the
"Gray."label. This changesthe sensitivity adjust menu to GRAYLINE adjust and the GRAYLINE label to Sensitivity. Now press the key adjacent to the up arrow to increase the GRAYLINElevel Press the key adjacent to the down arrow to decrease it. The number in the menu'slower left cornergives the current GRAYLINE level. The bar
