Structure Scan HD box set up...

Post by Freefall »

I installed a Structure Scan HD box with a LSS2 transducer today. I have 2 HDS 7 Gen 2 touch screens. I originally hooked the transducer into the "sonar" input on the HD box. However when I did this I did not get an image or response from the transducer.

I switched the transducer to the back of the helm HDS unit and it seems to be working. I used the ethernet from that unit into the box and another from the box to the bow.

I couldn't find much info on hooking this unit up. Is this the correct sequence?

So the correct way to make these connections are as follows:
Connect the LSS xdcr to the module.
Supply power to the module using switched 12vdc.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the module to each MFD.
Now turn it on.
Also check Menu>Settings>Advanced>Features>StructureScan and make sure it is ON.

If you are still having problems, post back with 'which lights are illuminated and what color they are'.
