HD Series Fishfinders

Owner’s Handbook

February 2003

Intended Use

Raymarine HD (High Definition) Series Fishfinders are intended for

recreational fishfinding. The combined Fishfinder/Chartplotter (RC) devices

are intended for recreational fishfinding and course chartplotting. The

optional chartplotter function is intended as an aid to navigation and should

not be relied upon as a substitute for official navigation charts.

SAFETY NOTICES

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the

instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal

injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:

1. HIGH VOLTAGE. The LCD display and digital sounder units contain

high voltages. Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools

only available to qualified service technicians. There are no user serviceable

parts or adjustments. The operator should never remove the unit cover or

attempt to service the equipment.

CAUTION:

Removing the transducer cable from the fishfinder display or the

DSM250 while the unit is powered on can cause sparks. Only remove the

transducer cable after power has been removed. As with any electronic

device, be sure the units are mounted where it is well ventilated and free

from gasoline fumes.

If the transducer cable is accidentally removed while the DSM250 is powered

on, remove power from the sounder module, replace the transducer cable, and

then return power to the module. As a safety feature, the DSM250 recognizes

that the transducer is connected only at power-up.

2. NAVIGATION AID. The chartplotter unit is only an aid to navigation. Its

accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment failure or

defects, environmental conditions, and improper handling or use. It is the

user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational

judgements. This unit should not be relied upon as a substitute for such

prudence and judgement.

EMC Conformance

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry

standards for use in the recreational marine environment.

The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories

conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards,

but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not

compromised.

Preface

This handbook describes the following Raymarine HD Series Fishfinder

systems:

• L770D Plus 7" Color LCD Fishfinder Display with DSM250 Digital

Sounder Module

• L770DRC Plus 7" Color LCD Fishfinder and Chartplotter Display with

DSM250 Digital Sounder Module

• L1260D Plus 10" Color LCD Fishfinder Display with DSM250 Digital

Sounder Module

• L1260DRC Plus 10" Color LCD Fishfinder and Chartplotter Display with

DSM250 Digital Sounder Module

The combined Fishfinder/Chartplotter display units include a cartridge holder

assembly that contains two slots for C-MAP NT or NT+ chart cards.

Digital Sounder

HD Series Fishfinders come packaged with a DSM250 Sounder Module,

which provides digital echo sounder image data via

hsb

2

. The DSM250 digital

bandwidth filter adjusts the receiver band width dynamically from very wide

to very narrow, as required by the actual water and seabed conditions. This

provides superior fish discrimination and bottom structure details in

conditions where other fishfinders, which have a fixed bandwidth, see very

little or nothing at all. The DSM250 employs a very high transmission

repetition or “ping” rate which, along with the digital adaptive high sample

rate receiver, ensures that the entire water column is presented in superb detail

and optimal color allocation.

This handbook contains very important information on the installation and

operation of your new fishfinder system. To obtain the best results in operation

and performance, please read this handbook thoroughly.

Transducer

Echo sounder systems require an appropriate Raymarine transducer unit and

inter-connecting cable. Details for selecting and installing the transducer are

described in document number 81196, Transducers for Fishfinders Owner’s

Handbook.

WARNING:

Do not cut the transducer cable or remove the connector.

Do not try to shorten or splice the cable. Cutting the transducer cable will

severely reduce sonar performance.

If the cable is cut, it must be replaced—it cannot be repaired.

CUTTING THE TRANSDUCER CABLE WILL VOID THE

WARRANTY.

TFT LCD Displays

The colors of the display may seem to vary when viewed against a colored

background or in colored light. This is a perfectly normal effect that will be

seen with all color LCD displays.

In common with all Thin Film Transistor (TFT) LCD displays, the screen may

exhibit a few (less than 20) wrongly illuminated pixels. These may appear as

black pixels in a light portion of the screen or as colored pixels in black areas.

WARNING:

To provide protection against the damaging effects of UV light,

Raymarine advises that you replace the sun cover provided when the

color LCD display is not in use.

Conventions Used

Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in bold

capitals (for example: MENU). The soft key functions, menu names and

options are shown in normal capitals (for example: SCREEN).

Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press or a sequence

of numbered steps, are indicated by a ➤ symbol in the margin.

When the procedure requires you to press a soft key, the soft key icon is shown

in the margin.

Introduction

Chapter 1: Overview

1.1 Introduction

This handbook describes the following HD Series Fishfinders:

Raymarine HD Series Fishfinders use the latest processor and sonar

technology for accurate performance and echo detection. Units feature 7" or

10.4" daylight viewable color LCD displays and the Raychart (RC) models

include a full C-Map NT/NT+ Chartplotter.

L770D/RC Plus and L1260D/RC Plus Fishfinders come packaged with a

DSM250 Sounder Module, which provides digital echo sounder image data

via

hsb

. The DSM250 digital bandwidth filter adjusts the receiver band width

dynamically from very wide to very narrow, as required by the actual water

and seabed conditions. This provides superior fish discrimination and bottom

structure details in conditions where other fishfinders, which have a fixed

bandwidth, see very little or nothing at all. The DSM250 employs a very high

transmission repetition or “ping” rate which, along with the digital adaptive

high sample rate receiver, ensures that the entire water column is presented in

superb detail and optimal color allocation.

HD Series Fishfinders feature dual frequency (200 kHz and 50 kHz) operation

and—depending on the transducer installed and conditions—up to 1000 watts

RMS output power and performance from 3 ft (1m) up to 5000 ft (1700 m).

Use the High Speed Bus (

hsb

), SeaTalk, and NMEA interfaces to provide an

integrated system with additional devices, such as Pathfinder Plus Radar,

Raymarine Autopilot, and Raystar Wide Area Augmentation System

(WAAS) GPS products.

Connecting an HD Series Fishfinder to an

Introduction

This handbook describes the display unit controls and details both fishfinder

and chart operations. Controls that are specific to either fishfinder or

chartplotter are described in fishfinder or chart sections/chapters.

Note: Many illustrations in this handbook show example screens. The screen

you see on your display depends on your system configuration and set up op-

tions, so it may differ from the illustration.

How to Use This Handbook

If you are installing the display system yourself, you should read Chapter 2

before you start the installation. This chapter also provides information that

will be useful if you are connecting your fishfinder system to other equipment.

For an overview of the display unit controls, the fishfinder and the chartplotter

systems, read Chapter 1. Chapter 3 will help you start using your system.

For detailed information on sonar operations refer to Chapter 6.

For chartplotter operating details, refer to Chapter 7 and Chapter 8.

To change the system set up defaults, read Chapter 4.

Chapter 2 provides planning considerations and detailed instructions for

installing the fishfinder display unit and sounder module. You should refer to

it when you are ready to install the system. Details to connect the display to

other equipment via

hsb

2

, NMEA, and SeaTalk are also provided.

Chapter 3 explains how to start using the display and describes how to use

some of the basic fishfinder and chart functions and Simulator Mode.

Chapter 4 provides instructions for setting up your system to suit your

preferences. You should read this chapter to determine how to change the

fishfinder and chartplotter system from the default settings.

Chapter 5 details operating the display unit’s controls in Sonar mode.

Chapters 6 provides detailed operating information for the sonar functions:

selecting depth range limits, adjusting gain, color and STC, setting alarms,

using the VRM marker, marks and man overboard.
