INTRODUCTION
The Z-9500represents one of thebest values in sportfishing sonar
today. Itrivals othercombination sonar/loran unitscostingmuchmore

TheZ-9500hasdualfrequencycapability. Itcan operateat50or192

NOISE
Minimize electrical noise
by routing thepowercable awayfrom other
possible sources of electrical interference. Oneof the largestnoise
generators isthe engine'swiring hamess. For bestresults,keepthe
power, loran module, and transducercables away from theengine

Noisetypicallyshowson the sonardisplay. If interference beginsat
slowboat speeds and getsworse as the speed increases, then the
probable
causeisacoustic noiseorcavitation. Thisnoiseisnotelectri-
cal, but iscausedby airbubbles passingoverthe face ofthetrans-
ducer. It's easy to determine if this noise is electrical orcavitation.
Stoptheboat, puttheengine in neutral, and increase therpm. Ifthe
noiseincreases,then it's electrical. Ifit doesn'tshowonthesonar's
display, then the problem is cavitation. To solve this problem, the
transducermustbe moved outoftheturbulentwaterfloworadjusted
so thatsmoothwaterflowsover itatallboat
speeds.
TheZ-9500hasreverse

theunitif the

will not
workuntilthe
wiringisconnected properly.
INSTALLATION
-ELC-1 Loran-CMODULE
When choosinga mounting location, remember to installthe ELC-1
whereit'sclearofotherantennas, wires, masts, orotherobstructions.
A high locationispreferred, however for lightning protection, thean-
tennashouldn'tbethehighest partof
theboat. Theantennashould be
mounted vertically. Makecertain itisasfar
away
as possible fromVHF
radio antennas.
Improperperformance
can also occurif the antennais mounted too
close to metal objectssuch as tuna towers. Again, a locationthat
places theLoranassembly
in theclearispreferabletoonethatishigh
and obstructed.
You must purchasean eight foot stainless steel or fiberglasswhip
antenna. Thethreads are standard 3/8"-24forthewhip. Aratchet
mountbase is mostcommonly usedto mount
theLoranto theboat.
The base mountingthreads are conventional 1"-14 machinethread
(NOTpipethread). This allowstheuseofstandard antenna mounting
hardware. Tightenallhardware securely.
The cablesuppliedwiththeELC-1 is thirtyfeetlong. Do not cut the
cable if it's too long. Instead, coil and store it outof the way. An
extensioncableisavailable ifthe
