INTRODUCTION The Optima is the latest member of the Eagle family that combines a high performance sonar with a wide, high definition screen. Using menu features and "soft-key" operation, the Optima is also easy to use. The wide screen shows the underwater world with high resolution and detail. The display and keyboard are also lighted for night operation. The Optima has digital boat speed, surface water temperature, and distance travelled (log) screens. (Requires optional ST-TBK speed/temperature sensor for both speed and temperature screens.) SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions ................................................ 4.94"H x 6.10"W x 2.71"D Transmitter Frequency .............................. 192 kHz Transmitter Power ..................................... 600 watts (p-p, typical) 75 watts (RMS, typical) Display ...................................................... Supertwist LCD 240 vertical x 240 horizontal 57,600 total pixels NOTICE! The storage temperature for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees Celsius). Extended storage in temperatures higher or lower than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in your unit. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty. For more information, contact the factory's Customer Service Department or your local service center. INSTALLATION MOUNTING Install the Optima 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 Optima's gimbal bracket will also accept the GBSA-1 swivel bracket adapter that lets you rotate the unit a full 360°. The smallest hole that allows one power or transducer connector to pass through is 3/4". After the hole is drilled, push the transducer connector up through the hole first, then drop the power cable down through it. 1 After the cables have been routed, fill the hole with a good marine sealing compound. Offset the bracket to cover the hole. Route the power cable through the slot. Break out one of the holes in the back of the bracket for the transducer cable. FRONT POWER CONNECTIONS The Optima 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 safer to 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 has two wires, red and black. Red is the positive lead, black is negative or ground. Make certain to 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 power cable to the battery or power buss, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the battery or power buss. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event of a short. The Optima requires 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. If you're installing a speed/temperature sensor, read it's mounting instructions. Route the sensor's cable to the Optima's power cable and plug it into the connector marked "SPEED/TEMP CABLE" 2 To Optima POWER CONNECTIONS RED WIRE BLACK WIRE 3 amp FUSE TO SPEED/TEMP OR TEMP SENSORS (Not included) 12 VOLT BATTERY SPEED/TEMPERATURE SENSORS The Optima accepts up to three temperature sensors which can monitor surface water, live well, air, and virtually any other temperature. You do need to be careful when purchasing the temperature sensors, however. Each temperature sensor has its own "address". The sensors are labeled "Water", "T-2" (or Temp-2), and "T-3" (or Temp-3). If you want two (or more) temperature readings, you'll need to use the proper sensors. For example, you can't use two T-3 sensors. The sensors that will fit the Optima are: TS-1BK TS-2BK TS-3BK TS-12BK One sensor for "Water" temperature display. One sensor for "T-2" temperature display. One sensor for "T-3" temperature display. Two sensors for "Water" and "T-2" temperature displays. ST-TBKOne speed sensor and one temperature sensor for "Speed" and "Water" displays. You can combine these sensors in many combinations. See the list on the following page for temperature and speed sensor combinations. 3 Sensor Chart (Note: Do not use these sensors in any other combination.) ST-TBK = 1 speed sensor and 1 temperature display ST-T BK + TS-2BK = 2 temp sensors and one speed sensor ST-TBK + TS-2BK + TS-3BK = 3 temp sensors and one speed sensor TS-1BK = 1 temperature sensor TS-12BK = 2 temperature sensors or TS-1BK + TS-2BK = 2 temperature sensors TS-12BK + TS-3BK = 3 temperature sensors or TS-1BK + TS-2BK +TS-3BK = 3 temperature sensors Here's some sample wiring diagrams: TS-12 BK Two Temperature Sensors (Water and T-2) OPTIMA'S POWER CABLE 4 TS-12 BK TS-3 BK Three Temperature Sensors (Water, T-2, and T-3) OPTIMA'S POWER CABLE ST-TBK TS-2 BK TS-3 BK Three Temperature Sensors plus Speed (Water, T-2, T-3, and Speed) OPTIMA'S POWER CABLE 5 KEYBOARD The keyboard has keys arranged in two vertical columns beneath the arrow keys. The menu key near the bottom left corner of the keyboard activates the first menu page. The other keys are used to activate the alarm menu, make menu selections, and change modes. MODE - Pressing this key switches the unit between different sonar modes. MENU - Press this key to show the menus and gain access to most functions. ARROW KEYS - These keys are used to make menu selections and to move objects on the screen. ZOUT, ZIN - These keys let you zoom the screen in and out to see detail. ALARM - Press this key to activate any of the sonar alarms. PWR - This key turns the Optima and it's lights on and off. ENT, EXIT - These keys let you enter or erase values. Optima ZOUT MODE MENU ENT ZIN ALARM EXIT PWR 6 OPERATION POWER/LIGHTS To turn the Optima on, simply press the PWR key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. The PWR key also controls the lights. Once the Optima is turned on, press the PWR key to turn the lights on. Press the PWR key again to turn the lights off. To turn the Optima off, press and hold the PWR key while a "countdown" appears on the screen. The unit will shut itsel ...
