WARNING! Do not touch an active transducer during operation, as this may cause physical discomfort and may result in personal injury in the form of tissue damage. Handle the transducer only when the power to the fishfinder is off.

WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for youto react. Always operate the boat atvery slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submergedobjects.

WARNING! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial number or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by unauthorized individuals will void the warranty. Handling and/or opening this unit may result in exposure to lead, in the form of solder.

WARNING! This product contains lead, a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

The WEEE Directive aims to minimize the impact of end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment on human health and the environment. Therefore, any product bearing the WEEE symbol must not be included with unsorted municipal waste. Instead, it must be separately collected, treated and recycled.

Installation

The trolling motor transducer is designed to mount on the trolling motor of your boat. All hardware needed for installation and operation of this Humminbird® accessory is either included with this accessory or came with your original transducer. The trolling motor mounted transducer allows you to gather sonar information from the point on the boat closest to where you are fishing. It is important that you properly orient the transducer housing in the direction of travel of the trolling motor, to ensure an accurate depiction of the terrain under your boat.

The trolling motor mounted transducer will fit any standard trolling motor housing. Some users install this transducer in conjunction with a switch so that the standard transducer can be used for high-speed operation, and the trolling motor transducer can be used while trolling.

Attaching the Transducer

WARNING: Before attaching the transducer to the trolling motor, make certain that the motor is disconnected from all sources of electrical power.

CAUTION: Before attaching the transducer to the trolling motor, make sure that the trolling motor is properly secured to the boat and will not shift during transducer installation.

1. Attach the transducer to the bracket using the hardware provided and refer to the illustration that matches your transducer type.

NOTE: If you purchased the AD-STM or AD XTM 9 accessory, you will need to use the hardware that originally came with the transducer to attach the transducer to the bracket.

Mounting Bracket should be parallel

2. Position the transducer on the underside of the motor housing with the transducer end containing the mounting ears or mounting knuckle oriented away from the propeller.

NOTE: Your transducer may not look exactly like the transducer shown in the illustration, but it will mount in exactly the same way.

3. Insert the hose clamp around the adapter bracket on the top of the transducer and pull the two ends up around the motor housing. As you tighten the hose clamp, check to make sure that the transducer is properly aligned with the motor housing.

4. After tightening the hose clamp, make sure that the transducer is securely attached to the motor housing and will not slip off while in operation.

The transducer cable has a low profile connector which must be routed to the point where the fishfinder is mounted. There are several ways to route the transducer cable to the area where the control head is installed.

Routing the Cable

NOTE: Your boat may have a pre-existing wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer cable.

1. Unplug the other end of the transducer cable from the control head. Make sure that the cable is long enough to accommodate the planned route.

When you have installed both the fishfinder control head and the trolling motor transducer, and have routed all the cables, you must perform a final test to verify installation. Testing should be performed with the boat in the water, although you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat out of the water.

Your control head is now ready for operation.

Test and Finish the Installation

NOTE: Make sure the trolling motor is re-connected to the power source before performing this procedure.

1. Press POWER once to turn the control head on. If the unit does not power-up, make sure that the connector holder is fully seated in the receptacle and that power is available.

2. If all connections are correct and power is available, the Humminbird® control head will enter Normal operation.

NOTE: The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection.

3. Make sure that the boat is in water greater than 2' but less than the depth capability of the unit, and that the transducer is fully submerged, since the sonar signal cannot pass through air. If the bottom is visible on-screen with a digital depth readout, the unit is working properly.

Routing the Cable

Cable

Ties

CAUTION! Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable, 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.

2. Routethe transducer cable around the side of themotor housing andsecure it to the motor shaft using the plastic cable ties provided.

NOTE: As you route the cable from the trolling motor to the boat, be sure to leave sufficient slack in the cable to allow for full movement and retraction of the trolling motor during normal operation.

3. Route the transducer cable to the fishfinder.

Insert the transducer cable into the appropriate terminal slot. The cable connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the cable holder on the rear of the fishfinder. The slots are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the holder.

Refer to your manual and/or control head installation guide for the correct procedure for installing the cable connectors to the fishfinder.

Connecting the Cable

1. Plug the other end of the transducer cable back into the control head connection holder.

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.
