Turning the Zone Alarm bar off also turns the zone alarm off. rIuTor - 0? MQUNTING Yqu can install the X-6O in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit. Place it in positionfirst and tilt it for the best viewing angle. Then mark the holes in the bracket base. You can usewood screws or through-boltsto attachthe bracketto the boat. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panels to secure the mounting hardware. Make certain thGre is enough room behind the unit to attachthe power and I trahducer cables. The smallest hole that will pass one power or transducerplug is one inch. After drilling the hole, pass the transducer connectorup through the hole first, then pass the power cable down through it. ZONE ALARM ON PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor 28 After routing the cables, fill the hole with a good marine sealing compound. Offsetthe bracket to coverthe hole. POWER CONNECTIONS The X-60 works from a twelve-volt battery system only. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, howeveryou may have problems with electrical interference. If so, attach the power cable directlyto the battery. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The power cable has three wires, red, white, and black. Red is th9 positive lead, black is negative or ground. The white wire is not used. Cut and tape the end to prevent a short. Mach the in-line fuse holder as close to the power sOurce as possible. In otherwords, attach qne end of the fuse holder directlyto the batteryor power buss. This will protect both the unit and thepower cable in the event of a short. Splicethe other end of the fuse holder to the red wire on the power cable. _ 4 4 Set Noise The Chart Noise Rejection Set Surface t1aPit9 Bejection Is Norma1 4 Select li.1rm 8... iiQre 1 Display Zone nm! I MENLJ-4thPAGE (AUTOMATIC ON) NOISE REJECTION MENU To "p" CONNECTOR SET SURFACE CLARITY (SCC) The markings extending downwards from the zero line can extend many feet belowthe surface. These markings are called surface clutter and are caused by wave action, boat wakes, temperature inversions, and other activity. SurfaceClarity Control (SCC) reduces or eliminates undesired signals from the display. 5CCvaries the sensitivity of the receiver, decreasing it nearthe surface and gradually increasing it as the range in-. creases. Typically, the maximum depth that 5CC affects is 75% of the range. For example, on a 0-60 foot range with maximum 5CC, surface clutter is reduced from the surface to about 45 feet. There are three levels of 5CC; low, medium, and high. Note that SCC is not available when the Fish l.D. feature is on. The SCC menu doesn't show until the Fish l.D. feature is turned off. To adjustthe 5CC level, first make certain that the Fish ID. feature is off. Now pressthe MENU key, then the key adjacent to the "More", label three times. Now press the key adjacent to the "Set Surface Clarity" label. 2 SE TO OPTIONAL SPEED/ TEMP SENSOR 27 PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor tLEAR DISTANCE LOG To reset the distancelog to zero, press the MENU key, then press the key adjacent to the "More" label two times. Now press the key adjacent to the "Clear Distance Log" label. This resets the distance log and returns to thechart display. The X-60 has reverse polarity protection. No damagewill occurto the unit if the powerwires are hooked up backwards. However,the unit will not work until you connect the wiring properly. Minimize electrical noise by routing the power cable away from other ppssible sources of electrical interference. One of the largest noise generators is the engine's wiring harness. For best results, keepthe powerand transducer cables awayfrom the engine wiring. Bilge pumps and their wiring can also radiate noise, so keep the cables away from them, if possible. SPEAKER VOLUME The speakervolume hastwo steps - low and high. The speaker volume is high when the unit is first turned on. To change it, first press the MENU key, then press the key adjacent to the "More" label two times. Now press the key adjacent to the "Set SpeakerVolume Low" label. To switch back to the high volume, repeat the above steps. VHF radio antennas and cables radiate RF energy at high power levels. It is important to keep the powerand transducer cables away from them, also. If qntèrference begins at slow boat speeds and gets worse as the spead increases, then the probable cause is cavitation. This noise is caused by air bubbles passing over the face of thetransducer-. It's easy to determine if this noise is electrical or cavitation. Stop the boat, put the engine in neutral, and increase the Rpm. If the noise increases, then it's electrical, If it doesn'tshow on the then the problem is cavitation. To solvethis problem, movedisplay, the transducer outpf the turbulent waterflow. Adjust the bracket so smooth water flows over the transducer's face at all boat speeds. MENU - PAGE 4 NOISE REJECTION The X-60's noise rejection feature is an effectivetool in cdmbating noise. In sonar terms, noise is any undesired signal. It is caused by electrical and mechanical sources such as bilge pumps, engine ignition systems and wiring, air bubbles passingover the face of the transducer, even vibration from the engine. In all cases, noise produces unwanted marks on the display. The X-60 has a two step nise rejection system. Whed the unit is turned on, the noiserejection is normal. If you have noise problems (identified by random lines or dots on the display),try changing the noise rejection level to high. TRANSDUCER CONNECTIONS See the transducerowner's manual included with the unit for transducerinstallation instructiops. To do this, first press:the MENU key, then the key adjacent to the "More" label three times. Now press the key adjacent to the1Set Noise Rejection" label. The screen below appears. Now pressthe key adjacent to the "High" label. The screen will clear and return to the chart screen. The noise should clear from the display as new echoes scroll across the screen. If it isn't, you may have a problem with electrical wiring, engine, or transducer installation. Checkwith your local dealer, Lowrance servicecenter, or the Lowrance factory cu.tomer servicedepartment for help. 26 PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor 3 0 468 FT UT0 T io [NsH [RANG [ALARM 2 S [ MENU-PAGE 3 SELECT UNIT OF MEASIJRE The X-60 can displaythe water depth in feet or meters, and surface watertemperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.

A low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals, and other target information. High sensitivity levels enables you to see this detail, but it can also clutter the ecrëen with noise. Typically, the best sensitivity level shows a good solid bottom signal with GIRAYLINE and some surface clutter. The X-60 adjuststhe sensitivity when it's in the automatic mode. This keeps a solid bottom signal displayed, plus the capability to showish. !and other detail. However,situationsoccur where it becomes necessary to increase or decreasethe sensitivity. This typicallyhappens when you wish to.see more detail.

FASTRAK gives you a rapid updateof conditions directlyunder the boat. This makes it useful for ice fishing, or when you're fishing at anchor. Since the boat is not moving, fish signals are long, drawn out lines on a normal chart display. FASTRAK converts the graph to a verticalbar graph that, with practice, makes a useful addition to fishing at a stationary location.

It "paints" gray on targets that are strongerthan a preset value. This allows you to tellthe differencebetween a hard and soft bottom. For example, a soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which displays with a narrow or no gray line. A hard bottom returns a strong signal which causes a wide gray line.
