Overview The Humminbird® Sensor Accessory Kit includes the following items depending on the Sensor model you purchased: GPS Receiver (AS GR16, AS GR50, AS GRP) GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor (AS GPS HS) Sensor with internal GPS Receiver. Cable length is 20 ft (6m). Sensor with internal GPS Receiver and Compass. Cable length is 20 ft (6m).
How GPS and Trackplotting Work Your Humminbird® uses GPS to determine your position and display it on a grid. GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position.
How the Heading Sensor Works The magnetic compass is one of the first known instruments for navigation. It relies on the earth’s magnetic field to align a magnetic pointer towards North, also known as Magnetic North. If your accessory includes a Heading Sensor, the control head will display the heading from the internal compass in digital format. The Heading is the direction the boat is pointing, where 000° is North, 090° is East, 180° is South, and 270° is West.
Installation Overview Use the following instructions to install the Sensor accessory on your boat. In order to understand the installation requirements, we recommend that you read the instructions carefully before you start the installation. Required Supplies: In addition to the hardware included with your Sensor accessory kit, you will need a drill, electrical tape, and an awl or pencil. Depending on your installation requirements, you might also need to purchase extention cables or a stem.
2. Install the Sensor There are three different options to mount the sensor. Proceed to the section that matches the type of mounting location you will be using, as follows: Stem Mount with 1” - 14 Thread The sensor will be mounted on a stem or antenna pole. Proceed to Section A. Stem Access Under the Mounting Deck The sensor will be deck mounted and the cable can be routed down through the mounting surface. Proceed to Section B.
A. Stem Mount with 1”-14 Thread Use the following instructions to stem mount the Sensor: WARNING! If your Sensor includes a compass (AS GPS HS), do NOT mount it to a stem mount or antenna pole that contains ferrous metals. NOTE: It is important to review the mounting considerations and test run the cable route as indicated in Section 1 before proceeding with the installation. 1. If you have a pre-existing stem mount, skip Stem Mount, Attaching the Sensor Base to the Stem to step 2.
4. Route the Sensor cable through the stem and through the planned cable route. To use extension cables, see the details in Section 1: Choose the Mounting Location. Positioning the Arrow on the Compass 5. If the Sensor includes a compass (AS GPS HS), position the sensor so the arrow on the cover is pointed straight toward the front of the boat in the direction of travel. The arrow should be parallel with the keel. NOTE: Failure to align the sensor correctly will result in incorrect compass readings. 6.
B. Access Under Mounting Location Use the following instructions to deck mount the Sensor and route the cable down through the mounting surface: NOTE: It is important to review the mounting considerations and test run the cable route as indicated in Section 1 before proceeding with the installation. 1. Mark the mounting location and drill a 3/4” (19 mm) hole for the cable and cable connector. Taping the NMEA Pigtail to the Cable 2. Secure the NMEA pigtail to the cable with electrical tape.
6. Move the Sensor to the side and drill two pilot holes, using a 5/32” (4 mm) bit. NOTE: Apply marine-grade silicone caulk or sealant to both screw and drilled holes as needed to protect your boat from water damage. 7. Align the Sensor’s screw holes over the pilot screw holes and attach with the #6 - 3/4” Phillips head screws. Hand tighten only.
C. No Access Under Mounting Location Use the following instructions to deck mount the Sensor and route the cable to the side if there is not space for a cable underneath the mounting location. NOTE: It is important to review the mounting considerations and test run the cable route as indicated in Section 1 before proceeding with the installation. 1. Secure the NMEA pigtail with electrical tape. NOTE: Unless it is needed, leave the NMEA pigtail secured to the cable.
3. With the cable routed, position the Sensor in the planned mounting location. Positioning the Arrow on the Compass If the Sensor includes a compass (AS GPS HS), position the sensor so the arrow on the cover is pointed straight toward the front of the boat in the direction of travel. The arrow should be parallel with the keel. NOTE: Failure to align the sensor correctly will result in incorrect compass readings. 4.
3. Connect to the Control Head Use the following instructions to connect the Sensor cable to the control head. 1. Insert the Sensor’s NMEA-COM connector into the control head’s COM port.

Troubleshooting Before contacting the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center, please read the following section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines may allow you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid sending your unit back for repair.
Display Problems There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause problems with the quality of the information displayed on the control head. Look in the following table for some symptoms of display problems and possible solutions: Problem Possible Cause The control head loses power at high speeds. If the power output of your boat’s engine is unregulated, the control head may be protecting itself using its overvoltage protection feature.
Finding the Cause of Noise Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference: Possible Source of Noise Isolation Other electronic devices Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to see if the noise re-appears.
GPS & Navigation Glossary Acquisition Time The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster. Altitude The height measurement above sea level. Altitude is a measurement that can be provided by GPS. Bearing (BRG) The direction to a destination waypoint measured in degrees from North (i.e.
Estimated Position Error (EPE) A calculation that indicates the potential position inaccuracy the user may experience due to a variety of GPS factors which include satellite position in the sky, signal strength, and others factors. Fix Type Indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing 2D fix or 3D fix. A 2D fix requires only three satellites and provides only latitude and longitude. A 3D fix requires four or more satellites, and provides latitude, longitude, and altitude.
Present Position The current location (latitude, longitude) determined by GPS. The Present Position is indicated on-screen by a directional boat icon if the boat is moving or a round symbol if the boat is stationary. Route A series of waypoints linked together in a specific sequence to define a navigation path between two points, and saved in the fishfinder’s memory.
out of memory and begins erasing the first track points saved. Because of this, the user can adjust the Track Point Interval menu to increase the amount of time between when points are saved, and thus extend the distance covered by a track. Tracks can also be permanently saved to memory and re-displayed at the user’s option. Track Line (TRK) The planned line of travel between two waypoints, and it represents the most efficient path between the two points because it is a straight line.
