Lowrance electronic X-55A SONAR User Manual


 
MOUNTING
Install the X-55A in
any
convenient
location,
provided
there is clearance
behind the unit when
it is tilted for the best
viewing angle.
Holes in the
bracket base allow wood
screw or
through-bolt
mounting.
You
may
need
to
place
a
piece
of
plywood
on the back of thin
fiberglass panels
to secure
the
mounting
hardware.
Make certain there is
enough
room behind the unit
to attach the
power
and
transducer cables.
The smallest hole that will
pass
one
power
ortransducer
plug
is 5/8". After
the hole is
drilled,
pass
the transducer connector
up through
the hole
first,
then
pass
the
power
cable down
through
it.
After
routing
the
cables,
fill the hole with a
good
marine
sealing compound.
Offsetthe
bracketto coverthe hole.

and breakoutone of the

forthe transducer cable.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The X-55A works from a
twelve-volt
battery system.
For the best
results,
attach the
power
cable
directly
to the
battery.
You can attach
the
power
cable to an
accessory
or
power buss,
however
you may
have
problems
with electrical interference.
Therefore,
it's saferto
go
ahead and
attach the
power
cable
directly
to the
battery.
If the cable is not
long
enough, splice
#18
gauge
wire onto it. The
power
cable hastwo
wires,
red and
black. Red
is the
positive
lead,
black is
negative
or
ground.
Make certain to
attach the
in-line
fuse holderto the red lead as
close to the
powersource
as
possible.
For
example,
if
you
have to extend
the
power
cable to the
battery
or
power
buss,
attach one end of
thefuse
holderdirectlyto
the
batteryorpower
buss.
This will
protect
both the unit and
the
power
cable in the
event of a short.
The X-55A uses a
3-amp
fuse.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use this
product
without a
3-amp
fuse wired into the
power
cable!
Failure to use a
3-amp
fuse will void
your warranty.
