Komponente proizvoda

Your package includes the following Lowrance Skimmer Transducers:

• Lowrance 000-10802-001 Skimmer Transom Mount Transducer (for LSS-2 StructureScan HD Fishfinder)
• Lowrance 000-0106-72 83/200 kHz Transom-Mount Skimmer Transducer with Built-in Temperature Sensor (for X100C, X125, X135, LMS 330C, LMS 480 Fishfinders)

Postavljanje i instalacija

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Both transducers are designed for transom mounting.

General Transom Mount Guidelines:

1. Odabir lokacije: Choose a location on the transom where water flow is smooth and free from turbulence caused by the hull, engine, or other accessories. The transducer face should be fully submerged in water at all speeds.
2. Ugao montaže: Ensure the transducer is mounted parallel to the waterline. Adjust the angle to prevent air bubbles from interfering with the sonar signal.
3. bušenje: Carefully mark and drill pilot holes according to the provided mounting template (if included with your specific transducer model). Apply marine sealant to all drilled holes to prevent water intrusion.
4. Provođenje kablova: Route the transducer cable away from sources of electrical interference (e.g., engine wiring, VHF radio cables). Secure the cable to prevent damage.
5. veza: Connect the transducer cable securely to the corresponding port on your compatible Lowrance fishfinder unit.

Specific Transducer Notes:

• 000-10802-001 (StructureScan HD): This transducer is typically mounted slightly deeper than the 83/200 kHz skimmer for optimal SideScan and DownScan imaging. Refer to your LSS-2 StructureScan HD Fishfinder manual for detailed placement recommendations.
• 000-0106-72 (83/200 kHz Skimmer): This transducer provides traditional 2D sonar. Its built-in temperature sensor requires full water contact for accurate readings.

Uputstvo za upotrebu

Once installed, the transducers will transmit sonar data to your compatible Lowrance fishfinder unit. Refer to your fishfinder's specific user manual for detailed instructions on how to interpret the sonar display and adjust settings.

Ključni operativni aspekti:

• Uključeno: Ensure your fishfinder unit is powered on and the transducers are connected.
• Izbor sonde: Some fishfinders allow you to select which transducer is active or to view data from multiple transducers simultaneously. Verify the correct transducer is selected for the desired sonar view (e.g., 2D sonar, StructureScan).
• Osjetljivost/pojačanje: Adjust the sensitivity or gain setting on your fishfinder to optimize the clarity of the sonar returns. Too high can introduce clutter; too low can miss targets.
• Učestalost: The 000-0106-72 transducer operates at 83/200 kHz. Higher frequencies (200 kHz) provide greater detail in shallower water, while lower frequencies (83 kHz) offer better depth penetration.
• Očitavanja temperature: The 000-0106-72 transducer provides water temperature readings directly to your fishfinder display.

Održavanje

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your transducers.

• čišćenje: Periodically clean the transducer face with mild soap and water to remove marine growth, dirt, or oil. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface.
• inspekcija: Redovno provjeravajte kabel pretvarača da li ima rezova, savijanja ili oštećenja. Provjerite nosač za montažu da li je labav ili korodirao.
• Protiv obraštanja: If operating in areas prone to heavy marine growth, consider applying a transducer-safe anti-fouling paint. Consult your local marine supply store for appropriate products.
• Zimljenje: If storing your boat in freezing temperatures, ensure the transducer is not exposed to ice, which can cause damage.

Rješavanje problema

If you experience issues with your transducers, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nema očitanja sonara:
  • Check all cable connections between the transducer and the fishfinder unit.
  • Ensure the fishfinder unit is powered on and the correct transducer is selected.
  • Verify the transducer is fully submerged in water.
• Intermittent or Weak Readings:
  • Pregledajte površinu sonde da li ima morskih naslaga ili oštećenja. Očistite ako je potrebno.
  • Check for air bubbles or turbulence around the transducer. Adjust mounting position if needed.
  • Reduce boat speed to see if the issue resolves.
  • Adjust sensitivity/gain settings on your fishfinder.
• Netačna očitavanja temperature:
  • Ensure the 000-0106-72 transducer's temperature sensor is fully submerged and clean.
  • Verify the transducer is correctly connected to the fishfinder.
• Distorted StructureScan Images:
  • Ensure the 000-10802-001 transducer is mounted correctly and free from obstructions.
  • Adjust range and contrast settings on your LSS-2 StructureScan HD Fishfinder.
• If problems persist, consult your Lowrance fishfinder's user manual or contact Lowrance customer support.
