Installation and wiring
The LSS-1 connects between the transducer and display
unit, or via a network switch.
Before installing the LSS-1, consider location and cable
runs necessary to connect the module to the display unit
and power source.
Do not run the transducer cabling near the LSS-1 DC
power cables or any VHF antenna coax or power cables
for the VHF.
The LSS-1 conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards; but proper installation is
required to get the best use and performance from this
product.
Selecting mounting location
When installing the module certain factors that could
affect its operation should be considered. Ensure you
have as much separation as possible between different
electrical equipment, (see diagram).
Make sure the transducer cable is long enough to
connect to the LSS-1. If not, an extension cable is
available. For transducer cable length see Spare parts
and accessories, page 11.

Mounting the LSS-1 module
Preferably mount the LSS-1 module on a vertical surface
so that cables exit sideways. If that is not feasable,
create drip loops to prevent moisture entering the
connectors.
Fasten the LSS-1 by using the screws included with the
unit.
Secure cables and ensure to not put strain in the
connectors.
Wiring
Refer to the Wiring diagram on page 9.
Removing the transducer cable from the LSS-1
while the module is powered on can cause sparks.
Remove the transducer cable only after the module
has been disconnected from its power source.
Connecting the LSS-1 to your display
The LSS-1 connects to your display over an Ethernet
network, either directly or via an Ethernet network
switch.
Connecting the transducer
The StructureScan transducer connects to the LSS-1
with the cable supplied with the transducer.

8 | StructureScan LSS-1 Installation manual
On boats with large dead rise angle two
StructureScan transducers can be used.
They are connected to the LSS-1 by using
the optional Y cable.
Connect the transducers according to the
labeling on the Y-cable.
Power connection
The unit will turn on when power is applied.
It is recommended to connect the LSS-1 to NSE Power
control bus (A), and set NSE to power control master.
Alternatively the unit can be powered directly from the
vessel’s battery (B).
