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. Th

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 V

Installing the HDR 650 You will install your HDR 650 depth sounder first, then your transducer. When you are done with both of these installation tasks, you should perform a final installation test before operating your HDR 650. Perform the following high-level steps by following the instructions in each numbered section to install the depth sounder: 1. Locating the HRD 650 mounting position 2. Cutting the mounting hole 3. Customizing and assembling the HDR 650 4. Installing the HDR 650 5. Insta

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, s

3. Customizing and Assembling the HDR 650 Your HDR 650 includes a variety of face plates and trim rings so that 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 HD

4. Installing the HDR 650 After the mounting hole has been cut (see section 2), continue the installation as follows: 1. Insert the HDR 650 through the front hole of the dashboard. 2. From the rear of the dashboard, install the gasket and collar onto the HDR (see illustration).

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 term

GR GROUND OUND Inline Fuse Holder CAUTION: Some boats have 24 or 36 Volt electrical systems. Make sure that your HDR 650 is connected to a 12 VDC power supply. Use a voltage conditioner for variable inputs. 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 1 amp fuse. 1a. If a fuse terminal is available, use crimp-on type electrical connectors (not included) that match

Transducer Installation Overview Find the correct section for your transducer installation type. If you have a transom mount transducer, you can mount it on the transom (preferred), in the hull, or you can purchase the trolling motor adapter and mount it on your trolling motor. The included transducer is designed for transom mounting on the boat (directly exposed to the water). On fiberglass hull boats, this same transducer can be bonded to the inside of the hull. When mounted inside the hull, t

Transom Transducer Installation 1. Locating the Transducer Mounting Position NOTE: If transom mounting is not possible because of a stepped hull or cavitation noise, and you have a single layer fiberglass hull, In-hull installation is an option. See Inside the Hull Transducer Installation for more information. Turbulence: You must first determine the best Areas of Possible Turbulence location on the transom to install the transducer. It is very important to locate the transducer in an area that

• On boats with stepped hulls, it may be possible to mount the transducer on the step. Do not mount the transducer on the transom behind a step to avoid popping the transducer out of the water at higher speeds; the transducer must remain in the water for the control head to maintain the sonar signal (see the illustration Stepped Hull). • If the transom is behind the propeller(s), it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or transducer type sho

Mark the drill holes near the top of each slot, making sure that your mark is centered in the slot (see the illustration Using the Mounting Bracket to Mark the Initial Drill Holes). NOTE: The third hole should not be drilled until the angle and height of the transducer is finalized, which you will
