Configuració i instal·lació

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance of your ELITE-3X DSI Fishfinder. This section outlines the steps for mounting the unit and connecting the transducer.

1. Mounting the Display Unit

• Choose a location that is easily visible from your operating position and protected from excessive spray or direct sunlight.
• Ensure there is sufficient space behind the unit for cable connections and ventilation.
• Use the provided mounting bracket and hardware to securely attach the display unit to a flat surface. Drill pilot holes as necessary.
• Angle the unit for best viewing and tighten the mounting knobs.

2. Instal·lació del transductor

The ELITE-3X DSI comes with a Skimmer transducer. Proper placement of the transducer is critical for accurate sonar readings.

• Transom Mount: For most small to medium-sized boats, a transom mount is recommended. Mount the transducer on the transom where it will be in clean, undisturbed water flow at all speeds.
• In-Hull Mount: For fiberglass hulls, an in-hull mount may be an option. Consult a professional installer for this method.
• Ensure the transducer face is parallel to the waterline and free from obstructions.
• Route the transducer cable away from engine noise and other electrical interference. Secure the cable to prevent damage.

3. Connexió d'alimentació

• Connect the red wire from the power cable to the positive (+) terminal of a 12V DC power source (e.g., boat battery).
• Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal or a suitable ground point.
• Install an appropriate fuse (typically 3A) in the positive line, close to the battery, to protect the unit.
• Plug the power cable into the back of the ELITE-3X DSI unit.
