1100 Series™ Introduction

Your 1100 Series™ Chartplotter comes in the following configuration:

• Humminbird® 1155c Chartplotter: Networkable GPS Chartplotting System, GPS Receiver included.

How GPS and Cartography Work

Your 1100 Series™ Chartplotter supports GPS and chartplotting, and uses GPS to determine your position and display it on a grid. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.

GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites.

All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

The GPS Receiver included with your 1100 Series™ Chartplotter allows you to combine easy-to-use chartplotter and navigation capabilities. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 1100 Series™ Chartplotter when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

• View current position

• View current track (breadcrumb trail)

• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver

• Save tracks, waypoints and routes

• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

Your 1100 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, HotMaps™ Premium, and Platinum™ Cartography on MMC or SD card media.

NOTE: Your 1100 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, HotMaps™ Premium, and Platinum™ Cartography.

NOTE: Some models come pre-loaded with Navionics® cartography and are referred to as NVB models. NVB models are only available domestically. Currently, there are not any international NVB models.

In non-NVB models, your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models). In non-NVB models, the built-in UniMap™ does not contain Port, Tide or Current information, and this information is only available from optional purchase MMC/SD cards.

Your 1100 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.

MMC/SD Slot

Your 1100 Series™ Chartplotter also has an MMC/SD slot that is used to insert optional-purchase cards containing additional detailed maps. If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your 1100 Series™ Chartplotter will retrieve that chart and display it automatically. Use the illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, open the MMC/SD slot cover, then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on the MMC/SD should face toward the left side of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place and close the slot cover.

Inserting an MMC/SD into the Card Slot

Software Updates

Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To update the software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card that contains a software update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what software version your control head is currently running, and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit to match that on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the www.humminbird.com website.

Accessory Bus

Use the Accessory Bus to expand the functionality of your 1100 Series™. Accessories plug directly into the 1100 Series™, enabling Advanced features such as WeatherSense and the ®CannonLink™ Downrigger Controller. Additional tabs and menu choices will be added to the menu system automatically when an accessory is plugged into the unit. In addition, multiple accessories can be attached simultaneously. See Accessories Menu Tab and 1100 Series™ Accessories in this manual, as well as your accessory Operations Manual for additional details.

NOTE: Accessories such as the CannonLink™ Downrigger Controller, InterLink™, and the WeatherSense® require separate purchases. You can visit our website at www.humminbird.com or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468 for additional details.

Video and GPS Output Connectors

Your unit comes with a Video Out connector and a GPS Out connector, which can be used with optionalpurchase accessories. For instance, if you purchase a video monitor and attach it to your control head using the Video Out connector, your unit will automatically send a video signal if it detects a monitor. See Setup Main Menu: Video Out for more information.

Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring, this can be used to route cables.

Be sure to route the cables as far as practical from the antenna cable of VHF radios or tachometer cables

to reduce the possibility of interference. The GPS receiver cable should not be cut, and care should be used

not to damage the cable insulation.

Basic installation tasks that you must perform include:

• Installing the control head (choosing either gimbal or in-dash mounting)

• Installing the GPS Receiver

• Testing the complete installation.

Control Head Installation

You have two choices for mounting your 1100 Series™ control head, Gimbal mounting, where you use a surface on the boat, such as the dash, to mount the control head so that it can be tilted up or down, or In- dash mounting.

Gimbal Mounting the Control Head

If you are gimbal mounting the Humminbird® 1100 Series™, you can pre-assemble the unit in order to plan the best mounting location.

In addition to the hardware supplied with your control head, you will need a powered hand drill and various drill bits, various hand tools, including a Phillips head screwdriver, a socket wrench and a flat head screwdriver, a marker or pencil, safety glasses and dust mask, and marine-grade silicone sealant.

1. Place the control head into the gimbal bracket. Make sure that the straight side of the gimbal arm is against the back side of the control head.

2. Place a 1" (25 mm) diameter black washer on the gimbal knob and then thread the knob and washer into the housing. Tighten the gimbal knob to secure the 1100 Series™ control head to the mount. Repeat step 2 for the other side.

You can now place the control head in various locations to decide which is best for mounting. Rotating the mounting bracket to the top of the control head will allow for overhead mounting. The chosen mounting area should allow for sufficient room so the control head can pivot through the full tilt range and allow for easy removal and installation.

NOTE: You can drill the cable pass hole underneath the gimbal bracket, allowing you to thread the cables through the large center hole in the mount; however, if you cannot drill the hole directly under the mounting bracket, then you will need to drill the cable pass hole behind the bracket, and will need to mount the hole cover there instead.

Gimbal Mounting Bracket

NOTE: When drilling holes in fiberglass hulls, it is best to start with a smaller bit and use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating. Fill all holes with marine grade silicone sealant.

NOTE: You must have underside access to the mounting location to pass the cables through to the surface. Also, make sure that the mounting surface is adequately supported to protect the control head from excessive wave shock and vibration and provide visibility while in operation.

NOTE: Go to the installation instructions applicable to your GPS Receiver and accessories. Make the required installations and then run the cables to your control head mounting location. Do not cut any cabling (except the power cable). If your cables are too short, extensions are available from your local dealer or online from www.humminbird.com.

3. After the mounting location has been determined, loosen the gimbal knobs and remove the control head from the gimbal bracket.

NOTE: Alternate hole patterns are available on the gimbal mounting bracket, and may match existing holes on the boat. You may choose to use one of these alternate hole patterns.

4. Place the gimbal bracket in the chosen position on the mounting surface and mark the four mounting screw locations using a pencil or center punch.

5. Set the gimbal bracket aside and drill the four mounting screw holes using a 5/32" (4.0 mm) drill bit.

6a. If the cables must pass through a hole directly beneath the mounting bracket, mark and drill an

additional 1" (25 mm) hole centered between the four mounting holes. Route the cables through the 1" hole. Place the gimbal over the mounting surface hole, then use it to mark the position of the two mounting screws, closest to the center large hole. Remove the gimbal and drill the two mounting holes using a 9/64" (3.5 mm) bit. Do not install the hole cover at this time.

or...

6b. If the cables cannot be routed directly beneath the mounting bracket, mark and drill a 1" (25 mm)

hole that will allow you to run the cables close to the bracket. Pass the cables through the 1" (25 mm) hole, routing the cables through the grommet and pressing the grommet into place. Place the hole cover over the mounting surface hole, then use it to mark the position of the two mounting screws. Remove the hole cover, drill the two mounting holes using a 9/64" (3.5 mm) bit, fill them with marine-grade silicone sealant, then replace the hole cover and insert the #8 Phillips countersink wood screws. Hand-tighten only.

7. Place the mounting bracket on the mounting surface aligned with the drilled holes and fill the mounting holes with marine grade silicone sealant. Insert the four #10 Slotted-Hex wood screws into the mounting holes. Hand-tighten only.

8. If the cable pass through hole is beneath the mounting bracket, you will need to install the hole cover after you have routed all cables. Place the hole cover over the mounting bracket cable pass thru hole and align with holes drilled in step 6a. Insert the #8 Phillips countersink wood screws.

Hand tighten only.

NOTE: Be sure that the cables pass through the slots on the hole cover and that there is enough cable slack to allow for the control head to pivot through its full tilt range. Extra cable slack will also help when connecting/disconnecting the cables.

In-Dash Mounting the Control Head

If you are in-dash mounting the control head, start by placing the components on the surfaces where you intend to install them before installation. Make sure that the surfaces you have chosen provide adequate protection from wave shock, and that all cables can reach the control head.

NOTE: If a cable is too short for your application, extension cables are available. Call Humminbird® Customer Support at 1-800-633-1468 for more information.

Parts and tools specific to In-dash mounting are:

• Threaded rods and hardware

• In-dash mounting foam pads

• In-dash mounting template

• Reciprocating saw for cutting dash material

• Masking tape to hold mounting template in place.

1. Locate a suitable, flat area of the dash to mount the control head. The control head requires a depth of at least 4 inches (102 mm).

2. Tape the paper In-Dash Mounting template to the desired in-dash mounting location.

3. At a location inside the dotted line on the template, drill a hole large enough to insert blade of reciprocating saw. In addition, drill the 4 mounting hole locations using a 3/16" drill bit. Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted line, then follow the dotted line around the template. Remove the template when finished.

4. Insert and tighten the four threaded rods into the four threaded inserts located on the back side of the control head. Peel off the adhesive-backed foam pads and place them on the back of the control head; make sure you notice the difference between the longer top/bottom and shorter side pads.

NOTE: It is very important that the cable collector is used and secured in place in the In-Dash installation.

The Humminbird® 1100 Series™ control head is now ready for operation.

Connecting the Control Head Power Cable to the Boat

A 6' (2 m) long power cable is included to supply power to the control head. You may shorten or lengthen the cable using 18 gauge multi-stranded copper wire.

CAUTION: Some boats have 24 or 36 Volt electric systems, but the control head MUST be connected to a 12 VDC power supply.

The control head power cable can be connected to the electrical system of the boat at one of two places: a fuse panel usually located near the console, or directly to the battery.

NOTE: Make sure that the power cable is disconnected from the control head at the beginning of this procedure.

NOTE: Humminbird® is not responsible for over-voltage or over-current failures. The control head must have

adequate protection through the proper selection and installation of a 3 Amp fuse.

NOTE: In order to minimize the potential for interference with other marine electronics, a separate power source (such as a second battery) may be necessary.

1a. If a fuse terminal is available, use crimp-on type electrical connectors (not included)

that match the terminal on the fuse panel. Attach the black wire to ground (-), and the red wire to positive (+) 12 VDC power. Install a 3 Amp fuse (not included) for protection of the unit. Humminbird® is not responsible for over-voltage of overcurrent failures.

or...

1b. If you need to wire the control head directly to a battery, obtain and install an inline

fuse holder and a 3 Amp fuse (not included) for the protection of the unit. Humminbird® is not responsible for overvoltage or over-current failures.

NOTE: Your unit will detect when your battery voltage is too low or too high, and will display either Input Voltage Low or Input Voltage High messages if these limits are exceeded. If you turn the Low Battery Alarm on using the Alarms Main Menu, your unit will use your settings. If you do not turn the Low Battery Alarm on, the unit will use these limits: 7.5 to 7.9 VDC for the low end, and 21 to 21.2 VDC for the high end.

GPS Receiver Installation

To optimize performance of the GPS receiver, mount it in an area that has full exposure to the sky. The effective area of reception is 10° above the horizon. Different circumstances determine the mounting method appropriate for your GPS receiver.

If you have… Then use:

The pinouts of the NMEA cable are as follows:

• Red Wire, +12V (output voltage only)

• Black Wire, Ground

• White Wire, NMEA Out.

CAUTION! Please use caution before connecting the red +12V wire to any other NMEA device. This is an output voltage provided by the control head and GPS receiver and should only be connected to those NMEA devices that need a 12 volt input.

Stem Mounting with an Existing 1" - 14 Thread Stem

Follow these steps to stem mount the GPS receiver:

NOTE: If you have an existing stem for mounting the GPS receiver, proceed directly to step 2 of the following procedure.

1. Determine the best location to mount your GPS receiver. Preplan and test the cable routing to your control head before any drilling or cutting of your boat surfaces. If you have purchased hardware to stem mount your GPS receiver, follow the instructions included with that hardware to mount the stem (antenna pole).

NOTE: AS-EC10 10' extension cables are available from Humminbird® if your planned routing exceeds 20', (6 m). Maximum cable length, including extensions, should not exceed 50' (16 m).

NOTE: Remember to seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed with marine-grade silicone sealant to protect your boat from water damage.

2. Screw on the receiver base to the stem first, making sure that the stem pipe does not protrude from the receiver base. This adds protection to the cable when pulling it through the pipe stem. In addition to this, de-burr the pipe edges to reduce cable abrasion.

3. Use electrical tape to secure the NMEA cable to the receiver cable as shown.

NOTE: Leave the NMEA cable secured to the receiver cable unless needed. This will make removing the receiver easier.

4. Route the GPS receiver cable through the stem and continue with the planned route you chose in step 1.

5. Attach the GPS receiver to its base using the included #6 - 7/8" screws.

Follow these steps to deck mount the GPS receiver when routing the cable down through the mounting location:

1. Determine the best location, then test route the 20' (6 m) cable from the mounting location to the control head.

NOTE: Installation details may vary with unit configuration.

2. Mark the mounting location and drill a 3/4" (19 mm) hole for the cable and cable plug. Route the cable.

3. Cover the cable hole with the receiver. Make sure the receiver is flush on the surface and mark the two mounting holes with a pencil or punch.

4. Move the receiver to the side and drill two pilot holes using a 9/64" (3.5 mm) bit.

NOTE: Remember to seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed with marine-grade silicone sealant to protect your boat from water damage.

5. Align the GPS receiver screw holes over the pilot screw holes and attach with the #8 - 1 1/4" Phillips head screws. Hand tighten only!

NOTE: If the mounting surface is thin and made of a lighter material, a backing material may be needed below the mounting surface.

No Access Under Mounting Location

Follow these steps to deck mount the GPS receiver in a situation where you must route the cable to the side because there is no space for a cable underneath the mounting location.

1. Determine the best location, then test route the cable from the mounting location to the control head.

NOTE: AS-EC10 10' extension cables are available from Humminbird® if your planned routing exceeds 20', (6 m). Maximum cable length, including extensions, should not exceed 50' (16 m).

2. Confirm the cable length is good and route the cable from the receiver to the control head. If holes are required to route the cable, they must be 3/4" (19 mm) to allow for the cable connector. Secure the NMEA cable with electrical tape.

NOTE: Remember to seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed with marine-grade silicone sealant to protect your boat from water damage.

3. The GPS receiver has two wire routing notches. Use the cable notch closest to the intended cable route.

4. With the cable routed, position the GPS receiver in the planned mounting location and mark the mounting holes with a pencil or punch.

5. Move the GPS receiver to the side and drill the two 9/64" (3.5 mm) pilot holes.

6. Align the GPS receiver's screw holes over the pilot screw holes and attach with the #8 - 1 1/4" Phillips head screws. Hand tighten only!

Finish Routing the Cable and Check GPS Receiver Operation

After installing a GPS receiver, you should perform the following procedure to finish routing the GPS cable to the control head and to check to make sure that the control head is working correctly.

1. Secure the cable along its path to the control head as needed with cable ties.

2. Plug the GPS receiver cable into the Communications port on the control head. See Testing the System Installation to use the System Status start-up option and/or the GPS Diagnostic View to confirm a good installation.

Testing the System Installation

After you have completed the installation of the control head and any other accessories such as the GPS receiver, and have made all the cabling connections required, you must test the installation before using the system.

To test the installation:

1. Press the POWER/LIGHT key on the control head once to turn on the control head. (There will be an audible sound to let you know that you pressed the key, and the initial Title screen will appear.) If the unit does not power up, make sure that power is available. While the Title screen is shown on the display, press the MENU key to display the Start-Up Options menu. Use the UP or DOWN 4-WAY Cursor keys to position the cursor, then the RIGHT Cursor key to select System Status from the Start-Up Options menu (see the Start-Up Options Menu section for more information about these menu choices). The System Status Self Test screen will appear.

NOTE: If you wait too long, the system will default to whichever menu mode happens to be highlighted, and you will have to start again.

2. Self Test displays results from the internal diagnostic self test, including unit serial number, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) serial number, software revision, total hours of operation and the input voltage. See System Status for more information about the Self Test.

3. From the System Status screen, view accessory connections by pressing the VIEW key. See

System Status for more information about the Accessory Test.

NOTE: The speed will be detected only if the paddlewheel has moved since the 1100 Series™ has been

powered up.

4. From the System Status screen, see a GPS Diagnostic View by pressing the View key. GPS Diagnostic View shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark gray bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light gray bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used. See System Status for more information about the GPS Diagnostic View.

5. You are ready for on the water operation.
