1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the water, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital sonar! We know you're anxious to begin finding fish, but we have a favor to ask.
2 any longer, turn to the Quick Reference on page 45 and head for the water with your sonar unit!) After you've gained some experience with your sonar, you'll want to check out Section 4, which discusses more advanced Sonar Options and Other Features .
3 Back-up memory: .......... Built-in memory stores sonar records for decades. Languages: ...................... 10; menu languages selectable by user. Sonar Frequency: ...................... 50/200 kHz for SeaFinder 500CDF; 200 kHz for FishMark 500C.
4 Surface water temp: ..... Yes. Speed/distance log: ....... Optional (requires optional speed sensor). NOTICE! The storage temperature range for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees Celsius).
5 How to Use this Manual: Typographical Conventions Many instructions are listed as numbered steps. The keypad and arrow "keystrokes" appear as boldface type. So, if you're in a real hurry (or just need a reminder), you can skim the instructions and pick out what menu command to use by finding the boldface command text.
6 For example, instructions for turning on the Fish ID feature would look like this: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to S ONAR F EATURES | ENT . 2. Press → or → ↓ to F ISH ID S YMBOLS | ENT | EXIT | EXIT . Translated into complete English, step 1 above would mean: "Start on the Sonar Page.
7 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the sonar system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vessel! 1.
8 optional trolling motor mount uses a one-piece plastic bracket with an adjustable strap. These are "kick-up" mounting brackets. They help prevent damage if the transducer strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does "kick-up," the bracket can easily be pushed back into place without tools.
9 or similar tool for stirring and applying epoxy, and a paper plate or piece of cardboard to mix the epoxy on. Supplies: rubbing alcohol, 100 grit sandpaper, specially formulated epoxy adhesive available from LEI (see ordering information on the inside portion of the back cover).
10 closer than approximately one foot from the engine's lower unit. This will prevent cavitation (bubble) interference with propeller operation. 5. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps and aerators can be displayed on the sonar's screen.
11 Align transducer centerline with hull bottom. A dual frequency trans- ducer is shown at left and a single frequency transducer at right. However, there are times when you may need to adjust the transducer slightly higher or lower. (The slots in the mounting brackets allow you to loosen the screws and slide the transducer up or down.
12 Typically, shoot-thru-hull installations give excellent high speed opera- tion and good to excellent depth capability. There is no possibility of transducer damage from floating objects, as there is with a transom- mounted transducer. A transducer mounted inside the hull can't be knocked off when docking or loading on a trailer.
13 1. Assembling the bracket. A. One-piece bracket: Press the two small plastic ratchets into the sides of the metal bracket as shown in the fo llowing illustration. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet. Pl ace each ratchet into the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the dot stam ped into the metal bracket.
14 Insert and align ratchets. Add ratchets to bracket and transducer. 2. Aligning the transducer on the transom. A. One-piece bracket: Slide the transducer between the two ratch- ets. Temporarily slide the bolt though the transducer assembly and hold it against the transom.
15 holes in the bracket with the letter "B" aligned with the dot stamped in the bracket. Reassemble the transducer and br acket and place them against the transom. Again, check to see if you can move the transducer so it's par- allel with the ground.
16 parallel with the ground. If you can, then go to step 3B. If it doesn't, repeat step 2B, but use a different alignment letter until you can place the transducer on the transom correctly. Assemble transducer and bracket. 3. Assembling the transducer.
17 Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. The transducer should be roughly parallel to the ground. The trans- ducer's centerline should be in line with the bottom of the hull. Don't let the bracket extend below the hull! Mark the center of each slot for the mounting screw pilot holes.
18 Both bracket types: Attach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or down until it's al igned properly with the bottom of the hull as shown in the preceding an d following figures. Tighten the bracket's mounting screws, sealing them with the caulking compound.
19 If you need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through, the required hole size will be 5/8". Caution: If you drill a hole in the transom for the cable, make sure it is lo- cated above the waterline.
20 motor shaft. Make sure there is enough slack in the cable for the motor to turn freely. Route the cable to the sonar unit and the transducer is ready for use.
21 Transducer angles and their effects on fish arches. If the arch slopes up – but not back down – then the front of the trans- ducer is too high and needs to be lowered. If only the back half of the arch is printed, then the nose of the transducer is angled too far down and needs to be raised.
22 Shoot-Thru-Hull Preparation Hulls With Flotation Materials The transducer installation inside a fiberglass hull must be in an area that does not have air bubbles in the resin or separated fiberglass lay- ers. The sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass.
23 pass through solid fiberglass. Any air bubbles in the fiberglass or the ep- oxy will reduce or eliminate the sonar signals. Testing Determines Best Location Ideally, the shoot-thru transducer should be installed as close to the transom as possible, close to the centerline.
24 The second bottom signal will probably disappear and the bottom signal intensity will likely decrease. 3. Now move the transducer around to find the best location with the strongest possible bottom signal. If you find a spot with an acceptable bottom signal, mark the location and move on to step 4.
25 After sanding, clean the hull and transducer with rubbing alcohol to remove any sanding debris. Epoxy transducer to hull. WARNING: Use only the epoxy available from LEI.
26 Spread a thin layer of epoxy (about 1/16" or 1.5 mm thick) on the face of the transducer as shown in the previous figure. Make sure there are no air pockets in the epoxy layer! Then, apply the remaining epoxy to the sanded area on the hull. 3.
27 perature sensor. See the following wiring diagram for temperature and speed sensor combinations. Sonar unit with external temp sensor, external speed sensor, or combo speed/temp sensor.
28 wish to purchase an optional additional sensor for your unit, refer to the accessory ordering information inside the back cover of this man- ual. The following instructions describe how to install the speed sensor. Recommended tools for this job include: dri ll, 5/8" drill bit, 1/8" drill bit for pilot holes, screwdriver.
29 Speed sensor mounting configuration: side view (left) and rear view (right.) Route the sensor's cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. If you need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through, the required hole size is 5/8".
30 This may result in corrosion of th e plug body along with the electri- cal contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. In saltwater environments we recommend you connect the power cable to the auxiliary power switc h included in most boat designs.
31 CAUTION: 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. This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires are attached correctly.
32 Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope toward the front of your unit. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and transducer cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location.
33 Front view (left) and side view (right) showing dimensions of the sonar unit when mounted on gimbal bracket. Before positioning the bracket, be sure to hold the cables against the rear edge of the hole.
34 In-dash mounting template for the sonar unit, showing dimensions. NOTE: The figure above is not printed to scale. A scaled template (FM-5 In-Dash Adapter Kit instructions) is available for free download from our web site, www.
35 Install batteries in power pack battery adapter. Face Cover Your unit comes with a white protective cover that snaps on and off the front of the unit.
36 Notes.
37 Basic Sonar Operation This section addresses the unit's most basic sonar operations. The in- structions presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Sonar Options & Other Features , will discuss other more advanced functions and utilities.
38 1. PWR/LIGHT (Power & Light) – The PWR key turns the unit on and off and activates the backlight. 2. PAGES – Pressing this and the ↑ and ↓ arrow keys switches the unit between the three different page display options. (Full Sonar Chart, Split Zoom Sonar Chart and Digital Data.
39 Turn off the unit by pressing and holding the PWR key for 3 seconds. Main Menu The unit has a Main Menu, which contains some function commands and some setup option commands. The inst ructions in this section will deal only with sonar functions, the basic commands that make the unit show sonar signals on your screen.
40 Sounds command: enables or disables the sounds for key strokes and alarms and sets the alarm style. Transparency command: adjust the level of transparency for dialogs. Sonar Alarms command: turns sonar alarms on or off and changes alarm thresholds.
41 Pages Menu, showing Sonar display options. All of the display options show the sonar chart in some format. This is a "cross-section" view of the water column beneath the boat. The chart moves across the screen, displaying sonar signal echoes that represent fish, structure and the bottom.
42 Sonar Page in split zoom sonar chart display mode. Sonar chart digital data display option..
43 Sonar Page Menu. Most of these functions are discussed in Sec. 4. You can customize how the Sonar Page displays its pictures and other data in many ways. Your unit also includes several special sonar features and options that can help you better interpret the underwater scene.
44 Sonar Page, showing full sonar chart mode. Surface clutter Bottom signal Fish arches In FasTrack, fish arches show as horizontal bars. Depth scale Digital data overlay (depth & temperature) Sur.
45 Basic Sonar Quick Reference 1. Mount the transducer and unit. Connect the unit to electric power and the transducer. 2. Launch your boat. 3. To turn on the unit, press and release PWR key. 4. Head for your fishing grounds. Your unit automatically displays digi- tal depth and surface water temperature in the corner of the screen.
46 Press ↓ (or ↑ ) to align the cursor line with the fish arch. The exact depth appears in a box at the right end of the cursor line. To clear the cursor, press EXIT . 9. If you are drifting at a very low speed or anchored, you are not mov- ing fast enough for a fish to return the tell-tale fish arch signal.
47 These figures show results of different sensitivity levels on the same lo- cation. Fig. 1: Sensitivity at 88 percent, determined by Auto Sensitivity. Typical of full auto mode. Fig. 2: Sensitivity set at 75 percent. Fig. 3: Sen- sitivity set at 50 percent.
48 Adjusting sensitivity in Auto Sensitiv ity Mode is similar to manually ad- justing a car's speed with the accelera tor pedal while cruise control is on. You can tell the car to run faster, bu t when you let off the gas the cruise control automatically keeps you from running slower than the minimum speed setting.
49 At left, Sonar Menu with Sensitivity command selected. At right, the Sensitivity Control Bar. NOTE: If you want to change the sensitivity in Manual Mode, first turn off Auto Sensitivity: from the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to A UTO S ENSITIVITY | ENT | ↑ to S ENSITIVITY | ENT .
50 Fish Symbols vs. Full Sonar Chart You may have noticed in the quick reference that we used fish arches in full sonar chart mode for our example, and not the popular Fish I.D. fish symbol feature. Here's why. Fish I.D. is an easier way for a sonar novice to recognize a fishy signal return when he sees it.
51 For the ultimate training aid, be sure to download the free emulator software for your unit. Aside from being just plain fun, this program can help you learn both basic and advanced operations without burning boat fuel! Eagle is one of the first sonar manufacturers to provide this type of training tool for customers.
52 Notes.
53 Section 4: Sonar Options & Other Features Material in this section is arranged in alphabetical order. ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) The ASP feature is a noise rejection system built into the sonar unit that constantly evaluates the effects of boat speed, water conditions and interference.
54 At left, Sonar Menu with Sonar Features selected. In the Sonar Features menu, Noise Rejection is selected with ASP in the default low set tin g (c ent er , dual-frequency menu ; at right, single-frequency menu). To change the ASP level: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to S ONAR F EATURES | ENT .
55 The last alarm is the Depth Alarm, which has both a Shallow and a Deep setting. This is useful as an anchor watch, a shallow water alert or for navigation. Depth Alarms The depth alarms sound a tone when the bottom signal goes shallower than the shallow alarm's setting or deeper than the deep alarm's set- ting.
56 2. Press ↑ or ↓ to change the first number, then press → to move the cursor to the next number and repeat until the depth is correct, then press ENT . 3. Press ← to S HALLOW A LARM E NABLED | ENT | EXIT . 4. To turn off the alarm, press ALARM | ENT | EXIT .
57 At left, Sonar Alarms menu, with Adjust Zone command selected. At right, Adjust Zone Alarm selection box, with Upper selected. 4. Press EXIT | ← to Z ONE A LARM E NABLE D | ENT | EXIT . Now, any echo — fish, bottom, structure — within the zone alarm's depth range will trig- ger the zone alarm.
58 Sonar Alarms menu with Fish Alarm selected. The check box to the left is blank, indicating the alarm is turned off. To turn the fish alarm on: 1. Press ALARM | ↓ to F ISH A LARM | ENT | EXIT . 2. To turn off the alarm, press ALARM | ↓ to F ISH A LARM | ENT | EXIT .
59 The Backlight Level control bar appears automatically whenever you turn on the unit. Calibrate Speed The speed sensor can be calibrated to compensate for inaccuracies. Be- fore you change the setting, first calculate the percentage that the speed is off.
60 2. Enter the number you calculated earlier: press ↑ or ↓ to change the first character (+ or –), then press → to move the cursor to the next number and repeat until the percentage is correct, then press EXIT . Chart Speed The rate that echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed.
61 If you do experiment with chart speed, remember to reset it to maxi- mum when you resume trolling or moving across the water at higher speed. To change chart speed: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to C HART S PEED | ENT . 2. The Chart Speed Control Bar appears.

The lower end of the scale is minimum contrast; the upper end is maximum contrast. Depth Cursor The depth cursor consists of a horizo ntal line with a digital depth box on the right side.
64 Depth Range - Automatic When turned on for the first time, the bottom signal is automatically placed in the lower half of the screen. This is called Auto Ranging and is part of the automatic function. However, depending upon the bottom depth and the current range, you can change the range to a different depth.
65 To switch to Manual Depth Range: 1. First, turn off automatic depth range. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to A UTO D EPTH R ANGE | ENT . 2. Press ↑ to D EPTH R ANGE | ENT and the Depth Range Control Scale appears. 3. Press ↓ or ↑ to select a different depth range.
66 Sonar Page showing FasTrack. Fish I.D. (Fish Symbols & Depths) The Fish I.D. feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish. The microcomputer analyzes all echoes and eliminates surface clutter, thermoclines, and other signals that are undesirable.
67 Does that mean Fish I.D. is broken? No — the feature is simply inter- preting sonar returns in a specific way to help take some of the work out of reading the screen. Remember: Fish I.D. is one of the many tools we provide so you can analyze your sonar returns for maximum fish finding information.
68 To turn on FishTrack: ( Note: These instructions will turn on FishTrack and Fish I.D. at the same time.) 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to S ONAR F EATURES | ENT . 2. Press ↓ to D EPTHS | ENT | EXIT | EXIT . To turn off FishTrack, repeat the instructions in step 1.
69 The default frequency is 200 kHz, which is best for use in shallow water (about 300 feet or less). This frequency is the best choice for about 80 percent of the fresh and salt water sport fishing applications. When you get into very deep salt water, 300 to 500 feet or deeper, the 50 kHz fre- quency is the best choice.
70 3. Press EXIT | EXIT to clear the menu. To change the frequency setting to 200 kHz: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to S ONAR F EATURES | ENT . 2. Press ↓ to F ISH S YMBOLS | → to 200 K H Z | ENT . 3. Press EXIT | EXIT to clear the menu.

81 To adjust sensitivity in manual mode: 1. First, turn off Auto Sensitivity: from the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to A UTO S ENSITIVITY | ENT . 2. Press ↑ to S ENSITIVITY | ENT and the Sensitivity Control Bar appears. Press ↓ or ↑ to pick a different sensitivity setting.
82 1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to S OFTWARE I NFO | ENT . 2. Read the information displayed on the screen. 3. To return to the last page displayed, press EXIT | EXIT . Sonar Chart Mode The default color scheme for the sonar chart is white background, but we offer other variations to suit your viewing preferences.
83 Full Sonar Chart This is the default mode used when the unit is turned on for the first time or when it's reset to the factory defaults. The bottom signal scrolls across the screen from right to left. Depth scales on the right side of the screen aid in determining the depth of targets.
84 Split Zoom Sonar Chart A split chart shows the underwater world from the surface to the bot- tom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged ver- sion of the right side. The zoom range shows at the bottom left corner of the screen.
85 Digital Data/Chart Customizing the Digital Data/Chart Screen The Digital Data/Chart screen can be customized to show digital data different from the defaults first shown. To customize this screen: 1. From the Sonar Page (in Digital Data mode), press MENU | ↓ to C USTOMIZE | ENT .
86 2. The Water Temperature box title bar flashes, indicating the box con- tents can be changed. Press ENT | ↑ or ↓ to select data type | ENT | EXIT . Water Distance has been picked to replace Water Temperature in the top digital data box. Tip: You can customize other digital data boxes before returning to the Sonar Page.
87 Main Menu with Sonar Simulator command selected. The Simulator is turned off (check box is unchecked). NOTE: If you turn on your unit before at taching a transducer, it may enter a demo mode. The words "demo mode" flash on the bottom of the screen and a sonar chart plays much like the simulator.
88 Sonar Menu with Stop Chart command selected. The box is unchecked, indicating that the chart is scrolling across the screen. Surface Clarity The markings extending downward from the zero line on the chart are called "surface clutter." These markings are caused by wave action, boat wakes, temperature inversion and more.
89 Sonar Features menu with Surfac e Clarity selected (at left, dual- frequency menu; at right, single-frequency menu). 2. Press ↓ or ↑ to select clarity level | EXIT | EXIT . In the illustration at left, Surface Clarity is turned off. The right view shows Surface Clarity set at High.
90 Transparency Use the transparency menu to adjust the transparency of menu win- dows. A high transparency allows you to continue monitoring the sonar chart while adjusting feature settings, though the text of the menus may fade until it is unreadable.
91 The Units of Measure Menu. To set Units of Measure: Press ↓ to the desired units, then press ENT . After all the options are set as desired, press EXIT | EXIT to return to the page display. Volume This command adjusts the speaker volume, which controls the sound levels for keystrokes and alarms.
92 Pressing ZIN once doubles the size (2X) of all echoes on the screen. Pressing it again quadruples the size of the echoes (4X). Pre ss th e Zo om Out key, ZOUT , to return the display to the normal mode. At left, Sonar Page, normal view. Center, same view zoomed to 2X.
93 Section 5: Troubleshooting If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit for repair.
94 Weak bottom echo, digital readings erratic, or no fish signals: 1. Make sure the transducer is po inting straight down. Clean the face of the transducer.
95 2. Electrical noise from the boat's motor can interfere with the sonar. This causes the sonar to automati cally increase its Discrimination or noise rejection feature. This can caus e the unit to eliminate weaker sig- nals such as fish or even structur e from the display.
96 tivity should be set at 90-95 percent. There should be a steady bottom signal on the display. Now turn on each piece of electrical equipment on the boat and view the effect on the sonar's display. For example, turn on the bilge pump and view the sonar display for noise.
97 Section 6: Supplemental Material FCC Compliance This device complies with Part 15 of the U.S. Federal Communi- cations Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the fol- lowing two conditions.
