How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The HDR 650 Digital Depth Sounder uses sonar to determine depth directly below the transducer. Your HDR 650 Digital Depth Sounder consists of two components: the HDR 650 sonar unit and the transducer.
Installation Overview Before you start installation, we encourage you to read these instructions carefully in order to get the full benefit from your HDR 650 Digital Depth Sounder. In addition to the hardware included in the installation kit, you will also need the following supplies: •...
Installing the HDR 650 You will install your HDR 650 depth sounder first, then your transducer. When you are done with both of these installation tasks, you should perform a final installation test before operating your HDR 650. Perform the following high-level...
1. Locating the HDR 650 Mounting Position You must select an appropriate mounting location for the HDR 650. Consider different positions on the console or deck of the boat, and note the following: • The cables for the transducer and power must reach the mounting location.
HDR 650. 3. Carefully line up the face plate with the face of the HDR 650. Press the face plate into place so that all keys are accessible and the display is visible (see illustration).
4. Installing the HDR 650 After the mounting hole has been cut (see section 2), continue the installation as follows: 1. Remove the gasket and collar by unscrewing them from the HDR. 2. Insert the HDR through the front hole of the dashboard.
(included). Buzzer 6. Connecting to the Power Supply Use the following information to connect your HDR 650 to an appropriate power supply: • If your boat has an electrical system, there is probably a fuse panel in the console area that can be used to attach the HDR 650 power cable.
Humminbird is not responsible for over-voltage of over-current failures. or... 1b. If you need to wire the HDR 650 directly to a battery, obtain and install an inline fuse holder and a 1 amp fuse (not included) for the protection of the unit.
9. Testing and Finishing the Installation Once you have installed both the HDR 650 and the transom transducer, and have routed all the cables, you must perform a final test before locking the transducer in place.
Power On/Off The power is controlled by the power source connected to the HDR 650. When the power source is turned on, the HDR 650 is powered on. When the power source is turned off, the HDR 650 is powered off.
Units The Units control function selects the units of measure for depth readout and alarm functions. You can set the units of measurement to feet, meters, or fathoms. Units 1. Press the MENU key until the Units icon is displayed and flashing on the screen.
Shallow Alarm The Shallow Alarm will sound when the measured depth is less than the setting. 1. Press the MENU key until the Shallow Alarm icon is displayed and flashing on the screen. Shallow Alarm Icon 2. Press the UP or DOWN arrow key to change the setting. (Off, 1 - 20 feet, .1 - 6 meters, or .1 - 3.2 fathoms;...
Deep Alarm The Deep Alarm will sound when the measured depth is greater than the setting. 1. Press the MENU key until the Deep Alarm icon is displayed and flashing on the screen. Deep Alarm Icon 2. Press the UP or DOWN arrow key to change the setting. (Off, 20 - 99 feet, 6 - 30 meters, or 3.3 - 16 fathoms;...
Set Offset (waterline or keel) The Set Offset function adjusts the digital depth readout to display depth readings from the waterline or the keel (lowest point of the boat) instead of the transducer location. 1. Choose to measure the depth from the keel or waterline. Keel: Measure the vertical distance between the face of the transducer and the keel of the boat.
HDR 650 Maintenance If your HDR 650 unit comes into contact with salt spray, simply wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened in fresh water. Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the lens, as chemicals in the solution may cause cracking in the lens.
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the HDR 650 yourself, as there are no user-serviceable parts inside, and special tools and techniques are required for reassembly in order to maintain the waterproof integrity of the housing.
(refer to the Transducer Installation Guide); • check the transducer cable connection on the back of the HDR 650 and make sure that the cable to the transducer has not been cut or pinched, as even a small abrasion in the cable can affect performance significantly.
IPX Rating ....IPX7 Waterproof/Submersible @ 1 m for 30 minutes and dust tight NOTE: Humminbird verifies maximum stated depth in saltwater conditions, but actual depth performance may vary due to transducer installation, water type, thermal layers, bottom composition and slope.
