TRANSDUCER MOUNTING PROCEDURE Humminbird’s high-speed transducer is supplied with your LCR. This transducer has been designed to give good high speed readings on most all boat designs, including aluminum. Please carefully consider the following before installing your transducer. TRANSDUCER MOUNTING OPTIONS A. Transom Mount- The Humminbird high speed transducer allows the transducer element to be mounted below the bottom of the boat hull keeping the transducer out of turbulent w

by rotating up out of the metal spring bracket without harming the transducer, or your boat. The transducer can be re-engaged by simply rotating the transducer down and snapping it back in place. (See Figure A) B. Inside Hull Mount- The high speed transducer can be mounted inside the hull (without pivot assembly) using the proper two-part epoxy, such as Humminbird’s epoxy kit. Even though there is some loss of signal in shooting through the hull, your LCR will perform well with this

Once the location is determined mark and drill three 7/64” dia.. holes noted on the template. Attach the metal bracket using three #10 self threading screws supplied. Be sure to align holes in the center of the Bracket slots. On some aluminum boats it may be necessary to use a wood back-up plate. It is important to use a silicone sealant between the screwhead and bracket in order to prevent leaking. (See Figure C) Step 2. BRACKET INSTALLATION (Fiberglass Boats)- If your boat h

NOTE: On boats with more than 15 degree deadrise angle it may be necessary to mount the transducer slightly off parallel with the water level. (See Figure E) Mark and drill the three 9/64” dia. holes as shown on the template. Attach the metal bracket using the three #10 self threading screws supplied. Be sure to align the holes so that they are centered vertically in the three slots found in the bracket. It is important to use a silicone sealant between the screwhead and bracket in or

Step 4 TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY- Insert the transducer assembly into the metal bracket from the bottom. Push up until the holes in the plastic pivot align with the uppermost holes in the bracket. Slide the O-ring on to the headed pin and insert it through the two parts. Assemble by screwing the ¼”x3/8” allen head screw into the end of the pin and tighten. (See Figure G) Step 5 ANGLE ALLIGHMENT- Set the transducer angle so that it is parallel with the bottom of the boat hull. Once p

wrench provided. The screws are visible through the access holes on each side of the metal bracket. Check to make sure the transducer main body is rigidly fastened to the pivot. (See Figure H) Step 6 CHECK POSITION OF TRANSDUCER- At this point, check to see that the bottom of the transducer is a minimum of ¼” below the bottom of the transom. (However, as noted in STEP 2, the top of the transducer cannot fall below the bottom of the transom). If it is not, remove the transducer assem

7. Remove the water and transducer and clean the marked area and the bottom of the transducer thoroughly. 8. Using the Humminbird Epoxy Kit or equivalent, mix an ample amount of epoxy without causing it to bubble and pour it in the area the transducer is to be mounted. The puddle should be larger than the bottom of the transducer. 9. Coat the bottom of the transducer with epoxy, then put it in the center of the puddle and push down on the transducer while moving it around in a circular mot

OTHER MOUNTING OPTIONS 1. The LCR gimbal bracket can also be mounted on the SM-4, quick disconnect swivel mount. 2. The LCR gimbal bracket can also be mounted directly to the dash without the swivel mount, however, this method is not recommended since the unit cannot be rotated. INSTALLING THE CABLES Your LCR comes equipped with Humminbird’s new A

It plugs into the outlet on the back of the unit marked “Power”. The transducer connector is identified with the letter T and plugs into the outlet on the back of the unit marked “Transducer”. Note: An adapter (AD-4) is available to allow use of an old waterproof (BNC) transducer with the LCR, but be sure that the transducer is a 16degree. A 32-degree transducer cannot be used. A 11/8” hole must be drilled to pull through the transducer connector. After drilling the hole, pull the transduc

INSTALLING THE ULTIMA Before mounting the Ultima, gather the parts you need; Ultima, gimbal mounting bracket, mounting hardware kit, power cable, and transducer cable. If the transducer cable is not long enough for your installation, see "Accessories" earlier in this manual for information on the EC-6 10' extension cable. Next, consider where to mount the Ultima_ The gimbal mount offers mounting capabilities for the top of a shelf or the bulkhead (and lets you tilt the unit forward a

TESTING THE INSTALLATION After installing your Ultima, transducer, and cables, you should test the installation. Testing should be performed on the water, since that is the only way to check your transducer's performance. With your boat at idle, press the POWER button until it "chirps" once to turn the unit on. The Ultima performs a self-test on its electronics, then automatically selects the right depth range and sensitivity level for conditions. Momentarily, you'll see the reading

WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN OPERATING THE ULTIMA The Ultima offers several functions that you can adjust with the front panel buttons. (Note that to select something with a button, you must press it fully so that you hear a "chirp" sound). You can get acquainted with these features by actual operation, or when using the simulator. POWER: Press this once to turn the Ultima on. Pressing it again turns the Ulfma off. When the unit is off, keeping POWER pressed for about 2

• Display Speed • TripLog To adjust any of these, press SELECT until the function you want appears. Each function's display tells you how to use the arrow buttons and ONOFF for adjustment; when first learning, you should also refer to the following instructions. After you adjust any function, the display returns to its full-screen reading. NOTE: While the Ultima remains on, he last function you select remains "active"-that is, you can adjust it without having to press SELECT again

2. Setting Depth Range; Factory setting: On (Automatic) When you turn the Ultima on, it finds the bottom, sets the ideal depth range, and automatically adjusts the depth range (to as much as 185 meters) as the depth changes. In this "Auto Depth Range" mode, the bottom is blacked-in for easy-to- understand readings. If you prefer, you can turn Auto Depth Range off. Select DEPM RANGE, press ON-OFF, and adjust the Depth Range with the UP or DOWN arrow key. In this "Manual Depth

4. Enabling Fish Alarm; Factory setting: OFF The Fish Alarm alerts you with a chirping sound whenever the Ultima detects fish (or another object not attached to the bottom). To activate it, select FISH ALARM and press the ON-OFF button. A fish symbol reminds you that the alarm is on. 5. Using Zoom; Factory setting; OFF Zoom provides an up-close view.

6. Using Bottom Lock; Factory setting; OFF Bottom Lock provides an up-close view like Zoom, except that in this case the zoomed view automatically moves up or down to stay on the bottom. To use this feature, select BOTTOM LOCK and press ON-OFF. The range of the display is shown when bottom lock is on and a "BL" appears by the bottom range number. This is an ideal feature for finding structure or locating fish near the bottom. Remember; If bottom Lock is the last function selec

8. Setting Display Speed; Factory setting: Maximum The Ultima display is "updated" (advances across the screen) as you move through the water. The speed at which the display is updated depends on the Display Speed setting. To adjust it, select DISPLAY SPEED, and press the UP arrow for a faster setting or the DOWN arrow for a slower setting. In general, higher Display Speed settings provide faster updates, while slower Display Speeds provide more detailed information.
