Installation and Wiring

The StructureScan HD black box module connects between the transducer and display unit, or via a network switch.

Before installing the module, consider location and cable runs necessary to connect the module to the display unit and power source.

Do not run the transducer cabling near the module DC power cables or any VHF antenna coax or power cables for the VHF.

The module conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards; but proper installation is required to get the best use and performance from this product.

Selecting mounting location

When installing the module certain factors that could affect its operation should be considered. Ensure you have as much separation as possible between different electrical equipment, (see diagram).

Make sure the transducer cable is long enough to connect to the module. If not, an extension cable is available (only one extension is recommended for optimal performance). For transducer cable length see Spare parts and accessories, page 12.

Mounting the StructureScan HD module

Preferably mount the StructureScan HD black box module on a vertical surface so that cables exit sideways. If that is not feasible, create drip loops to prevent moisture entering the connectors.

Fasten the module by using the screws included with the unit. Secure cables and ensure to not put strain in the connectors.

Wiring

Refer to the Wiring diagram on page 10.

⚠ Warning: Removing the transducer cable from the StructureScan HD module while it is powered on can cause sparks. Remove the transducer cable only after the module has been disconnected from its power source.

Connecting the module to your display

The module connects to your display over an Ethernet network, either directly or via an Ethernet network switch.

Connecting the transducer

The StructureScan transducer connects to the module with the cable supplied with the transducer.

On boats with large dead rise angle two StructureScan transducers can be used. They are connected to the module by using the optional Y cable. Connect the transducers according to the labeling on the Y-cable.

Power connection

The unit will turn on when power is applied.

It is recommended to connect the module to a Power control bus (A), and set your unit to power control master.

Alternatively the unit can be powered directly from the vessel's battery (B).

	1 Black 12 V battery -
	2 Blue NC
	3 Red 12V battery +
	4 Yellow Ignition sense

Note: If the black box module is connected directly to the vessel's battery, the module will continue to draw power even when it is not in operation. It is recommended that the yellow power cable wire be fitted with an optional on/off switch, allowing the module to be powered off when not in use.
