GPS MODULE SELF-TEST This feature teststheGPSmodule and returns a Pass/Fail message. There is a problem with the GPS module if any of the tests show the "Fail" INTRODUCTION The Z-9500GPS represents one of the best values in sportfishing sonar today. It rivals other combination sonar/GPS units costing much more in featuresand performance. The Z-9500GPS offers at thetouch of a button. The wide screen easy-to-use operation shows the underwater world with high resolution and detail. It also displays digital depth, boat speed*, surface water temperature*, and distance*travelled (distance log). Although the Z-5OOGPS has many features and functions, the "soft key" menu systemmakesit easyto use. Above all, don't be afraid to try different features and functions on the unit. You can't hurt it by pressing buttons! Read this manual and take it with you the first few times you use your unit. It makes a great reference should you need it. The more you know when you get to the water, the more your Z9500GPS can do for you! To use the self test feature, press the MENU key, then press the key adjacentto the "MORE"labeluntil the menus shown on the previous page appear. Finally, pressthe key adjacentto the "PERFORM GPSMODULE SELF TESr' label. The screen shown below appears. To exit from this screen, press theCLEARkey. MeMory.,,,,,, Pre--Proc,.,,, Multi--Func,.

Holes in the bracket base allow wood screw or throughbolt 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 powerand transducercables. The smallest hole that will pass one poweror transducerplug is one inch. Afterthe hole is drilled, pass thetransducerconnector up through the hole first, then pass the power cable down through it. After the cables have been routed, fill the hole with a good marine sealingcompound. Offsetthe bracketto coverthe majority ofthe hole. POWER CONNECTIONS The Z-9500GP5works from a twelve-volt battery system only. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however if you have problems with electrical interference, then attach the power cable directlyto the battery. PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor 1 92 *ReqUiresoptional ST-T Speed/Temperature sensor. If thecable is not long enough, splice #18 gaugewire onto it. The powercable has three wires; red, white, and black. Red is the positive lead, black is negative or ground. Attach the in-line fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible. For example, if you have to extend the powercable to the batteryor power buss, attach thefuse holder to thebattery or powerbuss. This will protectboth theunit and the power cable in the event of a short. The white wire is for a NMEA interface. The Z-9500GPSsends data for an autopilot or other electronic navigation devices through this wire, If the white wire is not used, tape the end so that it cannotshort. To connect a device to the Z-9500GPS' NMEA output, attach a shielded,twisted pair cable from the autopilot's NMEA intput to the white wire on the Z-9500GPS' power cable. Solder the ground conductor of the twisted pair and the shield to the black TO "P" CONNECTOR Using the unit in this manner lets you start a search pattern for the victim from a known location. Switching to the plotter on the .05 mile range makes it easier to see your positionrelative to the accident area. Remember, saving the victim is the primary goal. Try all options to rescue the person immediately after the accidenthappens. Training and education are also good accident preventatives. The Coast Guard has excellent safety courses. Instruct all members on board your boat on safety procedures before leaving the dock. Make certain all on board know what to do before any emergency occurs. For more information on saving and recalling waypoints, see "How to Save a Waypoint" section in this manual. GPS SIMULATOR Thisfeature places position andnavigation data on allscreens, including the plotter. Theunit"navigates" a closed course. Itshows bearing and distance to go, course over ground, and other information. A recurring message appears, alerting youto the fact that the simulator mode is enabled. Don't navigate whenthe simulator is on! Toturnthe simulatoron,pressthe MENU key, nexttothe"MORE" label until thescreen shown belowappears. Press the key nexttothe"Turn GPSSim ON" label.

See the otherdevice's manual forwiring instructions. No other adjustments are required once the cable is connected. The Z-9S000PSautomaticallysends NMEA information out the white wire once it acquires and "locks on" to the satellites. GPS MODULEINSTALLATION The GPS module can be installed on a flat surface or (with the supplied adapter) on a pole. Mount the module in an area that guarantees a clear view of the sky at all times. In order for the module to receive the signals from the satellites, it must not be obstructed. An ideal location is on a cabin roof, or deck. The gunnels also makea good location. Attachingthe pole mounting adapter lets you install the module on a one inch mast. A high location is preferred. However, for lightning protection, the antenna shouln'tbe the highest part of the boat. Surface Mounting - With Access If you have access underneath the mounting surface, use the gasket suppliedwith the GPS module as a template. Mark and drill four 5.5 mm (7/32") holes for the mounting screws and one 14 mm (9/16") hole for the module's cable. Attach the cable to the module and pass it down thnughthe hole in the gasket and the mounting surface. Use the5 mm "all thread" screws and flat washers, lock washers, and nuts includedwith the unit to fasten the GPS module to the mounting surface. Route the 25' GPS cable to theZ-9500GP5. l4mm(9fW) Ebb PCF S 00005.3841 E000°00.608' North/South Lat. Offset East/Uest Long. Use Position Clear If you need to switch the latitude from north to south, press the key adjacent tot he "North/South Lat: label. Switch the longitude if necessary in the same manner by pressing the key next to the "East/West Long." label. If the offsetshown at the top ofthe screen is correct, press the key adjacent to the "Use Position" label. The Z-95003PS returns to the last used position, navigation, or plotter screen using the offset information you entered. To verify that POP is in effect, switch to the position, navigation, or plotter screen. The letters "PCP' appearon these screens when PCFis enabled. MAN OVERBOARD One of boating's most terrifyingevents is havinga friend or family member fall overboard. This situation can be deadly on any body of water, fresh or salt. It's particularlydangerous at night or if you're out of sight of land. Of course, the first thing to do is remain calm and try all standard safety measures to try and rescuethe person. If you lose sight of the person, you can use the Z-9SOOGPS to initiate a search pattern. Onceyou're back at the helmafter initial rescue efforts havefailed, press the Z-9SOOGPS's Waypoint Quicksave key. This instantly stores your present position in memory. Memorize the waypoint number that appears at the top of the screenl Now press the Waypoint Recall key. Press the key next to the "Dest. Waypt Num." near the bottom of the screen. A new menu appears. Enterthe waypoint numberthat you just saved, then pressthe key adjacent to the "ENTER" label. This recallsthe waypoint you stored, causingthe Z-9500GP5to show navigation information back to that waypoint. The Arrival alarm will sound since you're within it's radius, either ignore it or pressthe CLEAR key to silence it. --5.5 mm (4 /0 N 1 GASKET 1' T T-- FLAT WAsHER, LOCK WASHER, ANDNUT 90 3 PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor Surface Mounting - WithoutAccess If you don't have access to the back side of the mounting surface, use the "cleats" suppliedwith the Z-9500GPS.
