Garmin 12-Pin Transducer Adapter Box Instruction manual

12-PIN TRANSDUCER ADAPTER BOX
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information
CAUTION
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling,
cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Mounting Location Considerations
Use the adapter to connect your 12-pin sounder to a compatible bare wire, 12-pin, 8-pin, or 6-pin transducer.
• The adapter cable from the device should reach the transducer connector on the sounder easily when the
device is mounted.
• The device should not be submerged in water.
• The device should be mounted at least 15.25 cm (6 in.) from a source of electrical interference, such as a
motor.
• When a mounting surface is unsuitable for screws, you must secure the device to a structure using cable ties
(not included).
Tools Needed

Drill and 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit
#2 Phillips screwdriver
3 mm flat screwdriver
Cable ties (optional)
Wire cutter
Wire stripper
21 mm (13/16 in.) wrench
15 mm (or adjustable) wrench (optional)
Mounting the Adapter Box
1 Using the 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) bit, drill the pilot holes.

Insert the screws into the pilot holes, but do not tighten them flush with the surface.
Place the adapter box on the screws and slide it into place.
With the adapter box unmounted, connect the wires.
Tighten the screws until the adapter box is securely fastened to the surface.

Connecting the Device to a Transducer
Preparing the Transducer to Connect to the Adapter
Before you can begin the installation, you must check your transducer compatibility. Water speed wheels are not
supported on the 12-pin sounder connector.
1 For a transducer with a 12-pin (orange), 8-pin (blue),
or 6-pin (black) connector, cut off the connector
cable as close to the connector as possible.
2 Feed the cut end of the cable
through the nut
on the side of the housing and pull it out through the
other side.
3 Use the wire stripper to remove about 90 mm
(3 1/2 in.) of the outer cable jacket
and foil shield.
4 Use the wire stripper to remove about 6 mm (1/4 in.)
of the insulation from each internal wire .
NOTE: Tinning the stripped wires is recommended.
5 For transducers without a temperature sensor, you can use a 15 mm (or adjustable) wrench to connect a
separate temperature sensor through the nut
on the bottom side of the housing (optional).
Connecting the Transducer Wires to the 12-pin Adapter
1 Using a 3 mm flat screwdriver, connect the transducer wires to the wire block in the 12-pin adapter as shown
in the wiring block table.
NOTE: You can consult the wire color tables to identify the wire functions for some Garmin and Airmar™
transducers (Wiring Block Tables, page 3).
