The Transducer Switch comes with all the necessary hardware to allow you to connect your control head to two
transducers. The transducers may be the same type of transducer with different mounting locations, or you can
maximize your unit’s performance by using two different transducers. The switch is intended for installation on the
console, and will work well on almost any boat.

In addition to the hardware supplied with your Transducer Switch, you will need a hand drill with various size bits, a
Phillips screwdriver, and an adjustable wrench.

Before installing the Transducer Switch, gather all the parts you will need, and make sure that the planned location of
the Transducer Switch will allow you to connect the two transducers to your control head.

Installation

Perform the procedures in the following sections to install the Transducer Switch on your boat.

1.Locating the Transducer Switch Mounting Position

To determine where to mount the Transducer Switch, make sure that it will be positioned near your control head on
the console of the boat, within reach of the cables for both transducers.

After you have determined the best mounting location for your Transducer Switch, proceed with the following
instructions.

2.Attaching the Transducer Switch

1. Remove the switch plate from the switch assembly.

2. Using the switch plate as a template, mark the location of the hole with a pencil or punch.

4. Test the fit of the Transducer Switch in the mounting location.

5. Remove the paper from the back of the switch cover to expose the adhesive backing and press the switch plate
onto the mounting location.

pivot of the switch is aligned with the letters A and B.

7. Push the rubber boot over the top of the switch and tighten onto the shaft.

8. Fully tighten the nut using an adjustable wrench.

CAUTION: Use care when tightening the nut to avoid damaging the rubber boot.

2. Remove the connector holder from your control head and insert the cable connector from the Transducer Switch
into the connector holder.

CAUTION: The slot for the connector is keyed to prevent reversed installation, so do not force the connector into the holder.
See the Installation section of your operations manual for additional information.

4.Connecting the Cable

CAUTION! Do not cut or shorten the transducer cables, and try not to damage the cable insulation. Route the cable as far
as possible from any VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. If the cable is
too short, extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50'. For assistance, contact the
Customer Resource Center at www.humminbird.com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more information.

1. Insert the Transducer Switch cable connector into the appropriate slots of the connector holder. The cable
connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the connector holder on the rear of your control
head. The slots are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the holder.

Your control head is now ready for operation.

Maintenance

If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other
marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically
clean the face of the transducer with hot water.

If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take
some time to wet the transducer after it is returned to the water. Small air
bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper
operation. These bubbles will dissipate with time, or you may wipe the face of
the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.
