Humminbird HDR600 SONAR User Manual


 
Insert the HDR 600 from the front of the panel. Install the “U” bracket and wing nut from the rear
of the panel ensuring that the face of the HDR 600 is rotated upright.
If the panel into which you are mounting the unit is greater than ¼” thick, the “U” bracket may
appear too long. You may modify the “U” bracket by using pliers to break the legs of the “U”
bracket at the score lines.
Shorten the bracket gradually to avoid making it too short. Tighten the wing nut to secure the
installation.
Once the unit is secured to the dash, the buzzer can be secured either to the metal bracket or a
nearby wire bundle using the cable ties included.
Plug the transducer cable to the transducer connector. Notice the connector is keyed to prevent
reverse installation, so be careful not to force the plug into the connector. Next, proceed with
making the electrical connections.
If your boat has an electrical system, there is probably fuse panel in the console area, which can
be used to attach the HDR 600 power cable. If a fuse terminal is available, use crimp-on type
electrical connectors (not included), which match the terminal on the fuse panel, and attach the
black wire to ground, and the red wire to 12 VDC power. Be sure to use a one-amp fuse in the
connection, 48” of power cable is included. You may shorten, or lengthen the cable using 18-
gauge multi-strand copper wire.
