How Sonar Works
Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The HDR 650 Digital Depth Sounder
uses sonar to determine depth directly below the transducer. Your HDR 650
Digital Depth Sounder consists of two components: the HDR 650 sonar unit and
the transducer. The sonar unit contains the transmitter and receiver, as well as
the user controls and display. The transducer is mounted beneath the water
surface and converts electrical energy from the transmitter into mechanical
pulses or sound waves. The transducer also receives the reflected sound waves
and converts them back into electrical signals for display on the sonar unit.
Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft
(70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat
can "outrun" this sonar signal.

Installation Overview
Before you start installation, we encourage you to read these instructions
carefully in order to get the full benefit from your HDR 650 Digital Depth Sounder.
In addition to the hardware included in the installation kit, you will also
need the following supplies:
• powered hand drill and various drill bits, including a 2 1/8" hole saw if your
boat does not have an existing gauge hole
• Phillips-head and flat-head screwdrivers
• ruler or measuring tape
• pen or pencil
• 12 Volt power source (your boat's battery)
• marine-grade silicone sealant (for sealing drilled holes)
NOTE: If you are wiring directly to the boat's battery, you will also need a 1 Amp
fuse and a fuse holder.

1. Locating the HDR 650 Mounting Position
You must select an appropriate mounting location for the HDR 650. Consider
different positions on the console or deck of the boat, and note the following:
• The cables for the transducer and power must reach the mounting location.
Extension cables are available.
• The mounting surface should be visible to the boat operator and adequately
supported to protect the HDR 650 from excessive wave shock and vibration.
• Allow at least 2" clearance at the back, sides, and top of the unit for
connection, air flow, and ease of installation and removal.
Choosing Mounting Hole Location
2. Cutting the Mounting Hole
Once you have selected your mounting location, perform the following steps:
1. Mark the desired mounting location, then drill a pilot hole.
2. Drill a 2 1/8" diameter hole using a hole saw and hand drill. This is a
standard hole saw readily availablefor rental or purchase. If you prefer, any
marine service shop can perform this task.

3. Customizing and Assembling the HDR 650
Your HDR 650 includes a variety of face plates and trim rings so you can
customize the appearance.
1. Select one face plate and one trim ring.
2. Peel off the protective backing from the face plate. Be careful not to let the
adhesive touch anything prematurely.
CAUTION: In order to provide a lasting, waterproof bond, the face plate adhesive
is extremely sticky, and you will NOT be able to re-position it once you have stuck
it onto the face of the HDR 650.
3. Carefully line up the face plate with the face of the HDR 650. Press the face
plate into place so that all keys are accessible and the display is visible (see
illustration).
4. Align the inside tabs of the trim ring with the HDR 650 tabs, and snap the
trim ring onto the front of the HDR 650 (see illustration).

6. Connecting to the Power Supply
Use the following information to connect your HDR 650 to an appropriate power
supply:
• If your boat has an electrical system, there is probably a fuse panel in the
console area that can be used to attach the HDR 650 power cable.
• 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 12 VDC power. You must use a 1-Amp fuse in
the connection.
• 36" of powercable is included; you may shorten or lengthenthis cable using
18-gauge, multi-strand copper wire.

Operating the HDR 650
Your HDR 650 Digital Depth Sounder sends a sound wave signal and determines
distance by measuring the time between the transmissionof the soundwaveand
when the sound wave is reflected off of an object. As your HDR 650 transducer
receives sonar signals, it converts them to a digital depth that is shown on the
HDR 650 display. The depth reading is continuously updated as you travel across
the water. The liquid crystal display (LCD) offers sharp viewing, even in bright,
direct sunlight, and is continuously lit for nighttime operation.
NOTE: Actual depth capability depends on such factors as bottom hardness, water
conditions, and transducer installation. Units will typically read to deeper depths in
freshwater than in saltwater.
The HDR 650 Control Head
The HDR 650 uses a backlit display, together with a 3-button keypad, to control
all user functions. The illustration below shows an example of the digital display.

Maintenance
To keep both your HDR 650 and your transducer working properly, perform the
following maintenance tasks as needed.
HDR 650 Maintenance
If your HDR 650 unit comes into contact with salt spray, simply wipe the affected
surfaces with a cloth dampened in fresh water. Do not use a chemical glass
cleaner on the lens, as chemicals in the solution may cause cracking in the lens.
When cleaning the LCD protective lens, use a chamois and non-abrasive, mild
cleaner. Do not wipe while dirt or grease is on the lens. Be careful to avoid
scratching the lens.
WARNING: Never leave your HDR 650 in a closed car or trunk; the extremely high
temperatures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics.
Transducer Maintenance
If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other marine
growth can reducethe effectivenessof the transducer. Periodically clean the face
of the transducer with hot water. Pivoting the transducer up in the bracket may
allow better access for inspection or cleaning.
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.
Maintenance

Troubleshooting
Before contacting Humminbird Customer Service, please read the following
section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines may allow
you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid sending your
unit back for repair.
NOTE: Do not attempt to repairthe HDR 650 yourself, as there are no user-serviceable
parts inside, and special tools and techniques are required for reassembly in order to
maintain the waterproof integrityof the housing. Repairs should be performed only by
authorized Humminbird technicians.
HDR 650 Doesn't Power Up
If your HDR 650 doesn't power up, refer to the Installation section, and make
sure that:
• the power cable is properly connected to the HDR 650;
• the power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal and
black to negative terminal or ground;
• the fuse is operational; a fuse can often appear to be good when in fact it
is not; check the fuse with a tester or replace it with a known good fuse;
• if the unit is wired through a fuse panel, make sure that the panel is
powered, as accessory fuse panels are often controlled by a separate
switch, or even the ignition switch of the boat;
• the battery voltage of the power connector is between 10 and 20 VDC.
Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery
terminals or wiring, or actually replacing the battery if necessary.
17
Troubleshooting
Page 22
No Bottom Reading on the Display
If there is no bottom reading visible on the display, there are a number of possible
causes for this condition, including:
• if the loss of bottom information occurs only at high boat speeds, then a
transducer adjustment may be needed (refer to the Transducer Installation
Guide);
• check the transducer cable connection on the back of the HDR 650 and
make sure that the cable to the transducer has not been cut or pinched, as
even a small abrasion in the cable can affect performance significantly.
Correct any known problems, including adjusting the transducer, or actually
replacing the transducer cable if necessary.
No Continuous Depth Display in Very Shallow Water
Losing continuous depth when the boat is in very shallow water is normal,
because the automatic range control cannot lock onto the bottom in depths of
one foot or less.
Screen Fades, Images are not Sharp
If the screen begins to fade, and images are not as sharp as normal, check the
input voltage. The HDR 650 will not operate on input voltages below 10 VDC.
Bottom Reading Disappears During a Hard Turn
Losing the bottom reading temporarily when the boat is executing a hard turn is
normal, as the transducer emerges from the water during such a turn; this
condition should correct itself once the turn is completed.
