ACCESSORIES

Humminbird offers a wide assortment of accessories that complement and

expand the capability of your new 405SX. These accessories are designed with

the same high standards. The Humminbird Accessory catalog included with

your unit contains descriptions of the many accessories available and ordering

information. All Humminbird accessories are available through your full-service

Humminbird dealer.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The 405SX consists of two primary components to install: the control head and

the transducer.

The control head contains the sonar transmit and receive circuitry, as well as the

user controls and display. It should be installed in a location that provides access

to the controls and visibility while in use. The control head mounts on a quick

disconnect mounting system that swivels and tilts, providing flexibility for

viewing from almost anywhere on the boat.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The transducer converts electrical energy from the transmitter into mechanical

pulses or sound waves. The transducer also receives the reflected sound waves

and converts them back into electrical signals for display on the control head. It

should be installed in contact with the surface of the water in an area that has

smooth water flow - usually on the transom of the boat. There are several

mounting options for the transducer. Review the

following section to determine the method that

works for you and your boat.

Determining How to Mount the

Transducer

The 405SX includes a model XT-6-24 transducer.

This transducer can be mounted on the transom

of the boat, or bonded to the inside of a

fiberglass hull boat.

The transom installation, which is the most

widely used, places the transducer on the outside

of the boat hull. This technique produces the

least signal loss, and provides a way to adjust the

transducer after installation. The mounting

hardware included is designed to

protect both the boat and the

transducer should the boat strike

debris in the water or when trailering.

As an alternative to transom mounting,

it is possible on many fiberglass-hulled

boats to glue the transducer on the

inside of the boat hull. Since fiberglass

has similar sonar characteristics as

water, the sonar signal can pass

through the boat hull with minimal

loss. The hull of the boat must be single

layer construction (not double-hulled).

Also, any air trapped in the lamination

of the fiberglass would prevent the

sonar signal from passing through.

Inside the Hull Mounted Transducer

Transom Mounted Transducer

For additional details reference the

TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION section of

the enclosed Installation Sheet.

Inside the hull installations require no holes to be drilled into the boat and

through experimentation, high-speed operation comparable to transom

mounting can be achieved. Two part, slow cure epoxy is required to glue the

transducer in place.

ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS

The 405SX comes with everything necessary for installation and operation on

most boats. However, there are several situations which may require a different

type of transducer. Inboard boats, wood or metal hulls, and sail boats create

unique transducer mounting needs. Alternate transducers and mounting

methods are detailed below.

Portable Mounting

The standard transducer can be adapted for

portable installations using part number MHX-PT2.

This accessory adapts your transducer to a suction

cup mount for temporary installation on the boat

hull or other surface.

Trolling Motor Mounting

The standard transducer can also be adapted to

mount on most trolling motors using part number

AD-STM-7. This accessory includes a bracket and

hose clamp that allows mounting the transducer to

the body of most trolling motors.

TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE

Other transducers are available as replacements for

the standard transducer. You may exchange your

new and unassembled transducer for another type

by returning it to the address listed in Customer

Support. Some transducers may have additional costs. Refer to the Accessory

catalog or call Customer Support for information.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS

BEGINNING INSTALLATION

Now that you have determined the transducer mounting method, you can

begin installation of the 405SX. The fold out installation guide included

provides detailed step by step instructions for installation of the control head

and transducer. For transom mount transducer installations, you will need the

mounting template at the back of this manual.

In addition to the parts included you need the following for installation and

operation:

•A powered hand drill and various drill bits

•Phillips and flat-head screw drivers

•A ruler or measuring tape

•Pen or pencil

•12 volt power source (your boat’s battery)

•A 1-amp fuse

•A fuse holder (if you are wiring directly to the boat’s battery)

•Silicone sealant (for sealing drilled holes)

•2-part, slow-cure epoxy (for inside the hull transducer installations)

USING THE 405SX

HOW SONAR WORKS

Your Humminbird unit uses sonar to

locate and define underwater objects,

define the bottom terrain, as well as

determine distance.

Sonar technology is based on sound

waves. Your Humminbird unit sends out

a sound wave signal. With this signal it

determines distance by measuring the

time between the transmission of the

sound wave and when the sound wave

is reflected off an object. Your

Humminbird uses the reflected signal to

interpret location, size and composition

of an object.

Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 600'

and back again in less than ¹⁄₄ of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can

"outrun" this sonar signal.

The 405SX is a 200 kHz, single-beam fishfinder. The 200 kHz frequency

provides excellent sonar resolution (the ability to distinguish small returns or

returns which are close to the bottom), while providing depth capabilities to

600’. The shape of the sonar beam is symmetrical and covers an area of

approximately 24 degrees side to side and front to rear.

Actual depth capability depends on factors such as bottom hardness, water

conditions, and transducer installation. Units will typically read to deeper

depths in fresh water than in salt water.

SIMULATOR OPERATION

The 405SX contains a simulator that allows you to use the unit as if you are on the

water. The simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the 405SX.

There are two ways to start the simulator. If the unit is powered off, press and hold

the POWER button for approximately three seconds until you hear a continuous chirp.

The simulator can also be started by selecting the Simulator option on the start-

up screen after you power-up the unit. When this screen is shown, simply press

USING THE 405SX

SIMULATOR OPERATION

the DOWN ARROW until “Simulator”is

highlighted. When the screen times out, the

unit will be in simulator mode.

When in simulator operation, the 405SX

responds to control inputs as if it is in actual

operation, so feel free to experiment, or to

customize the unit for your particular

operation.

To exit Simulator mode, power the unit off.

FEATURE MEMORY

If your 405SX is installed with a transducer connected, any changes you make

to the set-up or User Options (see Control Functions) while in Simulator are

retained in the unit’s memory. This allows you to use simulator to experiment

with the various set-up options, and retain your selected settings for normal

operation.

If you are using the 405SX in Simulator when no transducer is connected, any

selected options are lost when the unit is powered off. The 405SX will return

to Factory Settings, or options selected when last used with a transducer, if no

transducer is connected.

IMPORTANT: A transducer must be connected to the 405SX in

order to retain user settings selected when in simulator mode. If

no transducer is detected, the unit defaults to pre-selected

options when powered off.

What You See On-Screen

Your 405SX uses a 160 x 160 matrix FSTN LCD display. This display provides

outstanding viewability in all light conditions over a wide range of

temperatures.

At initial power-up, the 405SX uses settings that were set at the factory. After

initial use, the 405SX will remember the settings you enter.

There are several elements on-screen that are common to all modes of operation.

Temperature/Speed. The initial screen layout takes one of two basic forms

depending on whether the optional Temp/Speed accessory is installed. Figure

A shows the default view when the Temp/Speed accessory is installed. Figure B

shows the default view when the Temp/Speed accessory is not installed.

Depth. The digital depth

number shows the water depth

directly beneath the transducer

location.

Depth Range. The depth range

is shown to the right of the screen.

The upper number is 0 indicating

the surface of the water. The lower

number is one of the nine depth

ranges available that best match the

depth of the water. As the depth of

the water changes, the range

changes as necessary in order to

retain a bottom representation on-

screen. When in Auto mode,

the horizontal line at the top

of the screen is the “zero

line,”representing the surface

of the water. Occasionally

there is a gap in this line. This

gap indicates the unit is up-

dating the display even if the

bottom is not visible on-

screen, or if the bottom

information is not changing.

New sonar information appears

on the right side of the graphic

area of the display and moves

to the left as new information

is displayed. The 405SX

automatically selects the

appropriate depth range to show the depth of water beneath the transducer.
