CLC-200 Operation Manual

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The five-color CLC-200 is a compact and light-weight
liq id crystal depth so nder. It indicates depth, shows
changes in bottom content, and conditions. It can also
discriminate between large nderwater targets, s ch as
fish, and smaller targets s ch as bait fish and plankton.
The nit transmits b rsts of high freq ency p lses which
are converted from electrical to mechanical energy by the
transd cer. These "so nd" p lses radiate from the
transd cer downward and are reflected back p to the
transd cer where the energy is converted back to
electrical signals. The CLC-200 then processes these
signals and displays them.
The graphic display is accomplished by activating
individ al or gro ps of m lti-colored pixels, or dots, on
the LCD. The first vertical col mn of pixels, on the right
edge of the display, shows the most c rrent information.
This col mn is then moved to the next place, to the left, as
soon as a new col mn is
ready. This process is
repeated contin ally to make
p the graphic display. Th s
what yo see on the display
is a brief history of what the
boat j st went over. The CLC-
200 also displays the depth as
an easy to read digital
n mber on the right side of
the display.

UNIT ASSEMBLY (Gimbal Version)
Yo will need to
find a place to mo nt
the CLC-200 that will
make it easy to view
and reach. Yo m st
provide the nit with
power and mo nt the
transd cer in an effective location.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
Attach the CLC-200 to the ProMo nt™bracket system.
First, remove the platform by lifting the tab and p lling it
forward, as in fig re 4. Use the s pplied hardware with
locking washers to sec rely attach yo r nit to the remov-
able platform section. Be s re yo mo nt the nit to the
ProMo nt™platform so that the “lift” tab is facing forward.
Yo are now ready to locate the permanent base. First
look for a flat area for mo nting. If yo are going to drill
holes in yo r dash or deck to r n cables, make s re yo
spend a little time to place the holes in the right spot before
beginning. Allow for
plenty of movement
for yo r electronics
and cables. If yo are
drilling a large hole
to accommodate the
cable connectors, yo
may want to position
Lift

yo r base directly over the hole
sing the hole cover spacer
gasket. Be s re to r n cables o t
the back side of the spacer
gasket which has the pre-c t
groove. (See fig re 5 )
Now mark the center of each
of the fo r holes with a fine point
marker or center p nch. Pre-drill
the mo nting holes sing a 1/8" drill bit and se the
s pplied mo nting screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE
SCREWS.
When reattaching the ProMo nt platform ( nit attached)
to the mo nted base, slide it back into position ntil yo
hear a lo d“click”. This confirms it is locked into place.
IN-DASH MOUNTING
The CLC-200 can be mo nted in
the dash of yo r boat sing the
optional In-Dash Mo nting Kit (part#
IDK001). This kit will contain the
necessary hardware and instr ctions
to complete the installation.
CONNECTING POWER
Pl g the 2 pin connector into the back of the nit. Find
the closest so rce of 12 volts and ro te the cord to it. Keep
the cord away from sharp metal edges and avoid tight
places where the cord may get cr shed. Connect the white
Fig re 5
CLC-200 In-Dash
Kit #IDK001
wire to positive and the black wire to negative. If the cord
provided is not long eno gh, more can be added. Use 18
ga ge wire minim m. Install the incl ded 1 amp in-line
f se, placed in the positive line, as close to the power so rce
as possible, to protect against shorts in the wiring.
ASSEMBLING THE TRANSOM STYLE
TRANSDUCER
Locate the transd cer, and bracket hardware. This
incl des;
1 - Transd cer
2 - Angle Brackets
4 - Bracket Screws
2 - Bracket Plates
4 - N ts
4 - Mo nting Screws
Attach the bracket to the transd cer as shown in Fig re
7. The flanges of the bracket normally point o tward, away
from the transd cer. If mo nting space is tight, yo can
reverse the angle brackets and face the flanges inward.
TRANSOM TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION
When choosing an area to mo nt the transd cer, keep
in mind that yo need clear water flow across the face of
the transd cer to ins re a clear reading at all speeds. Try
to stay away from rivets, ribs, or strakes that wo ld be j st
in front of the transd cer. They can dist rb the water and
scramble the reading.
6
With the mo nting bracket
attached to the transd cer,
hold it p to the boat where
yo are planning to mo nt it.
Mark the holes on the transom,
or mo nting plate, so that
when the bottom of the
transd cer is fl sh with the
bottom of the boat the holes are
located at the bottom of the
bracket slots. This gives yo
room to "fine t ne" the position
of the transd cer and optimize
yo r reading after yo 've p t
the boat in the water. Ideally,
the transd cer sho ld be j st
nder the bottom of the boat.
However, yo may need to
lower it 1/2” to 5/8” to get a clear reading at top speed.
Drill o t the holes and tighten the bracket to the h ll
sec rely. Be s re to seal any holes drilled into the transom
with silicone to prevent water from leaking into the boat.
Give the transd cer a slight tilt downward so that the back
is abo t 1/8” lower than the front. Tighten the bracket
screws and n ts sec rely. R n the transd cer cord p to
the nit. Pl g the transd cer connector into the back of the
nit and screw the retaining ring down sn gly.

Fig re 7
PUCK TRANSDUCER MOUNTING
To attach a P ck style transd cer to a trolling
motor se the large cable tie
provided. Notice the slots in the
transd cer for this p rpose. Locate
the transd cer on the bottom of the
lower nit (fig re 8). R n the cable
p the shaft sing smaller cable ties
to hold it in position. Make s re that
the motions of the trolling motor will
not damage the cable. Pl g the trans-
d cer connector into the back of the
nit and screw the retaining ring down tight.
IN-HULL MOUNTING
P ck transd cers can also be mo nted in-h ll. This
method gives high-speed reading witho t the worry of
having a transd cer hanging on the back of the boat to get
damaged. Finding the best location for the transd cer before
installation is critical. Choose a flat smooth spot near the
center of the bilge and near the back of the boat. Be s re to
make a "test r n" before yo permanently install the
transd cer to make s re that yo can get a good reading
thro gh yo r h ll at all speeds. When the boat is in the
water, p t abo t a half inch of water in the bilge and hold
the transd cer in the intended location. Move the it aro nd
ntil yo get the best reading. Mark the spot.
To install the transd cer, first clean the spot of m d and
oil. Using an epoxy* or silicone gl e, make a p ddle, abo t

the same size as
the transd cer,
on the inside of
the h ll. Place
the transd cer in
the gl e and
press it down
firmly, gently
twisting it back and forth, making s re that there are no air
b bbles in the gl e between the transd cer and the h ll. It
is important that yo let the gl e dry completely before
t rning the nit on.
* If yo r h ll is al min m, se silicone. This material will flex with
the h ll at high speeds and in ro gh water.

OPTIONAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
To install the optional temperat re sensor (part# TP0002)
se the s pplied mo nting screws to sec re the probe to
boat transom. Alternately, yo can se a plastic cable tie or
wire twist tie to sec re it to existing hardware. The probe
sho ld be in the water, b t not below the h ll line.
Ro te the cable p to the nit j st as yo ran the
transd cer cable. Remove the plastic protective cap from
the temperat re sensor jack on the back of the nit. Be s re
to keep it for f t re se. Pl g the 8
pin connector into the CLC-200.
When yo t rn the nit on, the
temperat re reading will appear on
the screen a tomatically. TP0002

UNIT ASSEMBLY (Portable Version)
Remove the gimbal knobs from the nit and then
remove the r bber washers from the knobs. Set the battery
pack down on a table top and place the nit, face down,
inside with the top of the nit opposite the battery pack
handle. Place one gimbal knob on each side of the nit.
Place the metal ends of the carry strap over each knob with
the bend pointing o tward, away from the threads. P t a
flat r bber washer onto each of the threaded shafts to hold
the strap ends in place. Install the knobs into the nit,
thro gh the battery pack. Tighten both slightly.
INSTALLING THE
BATTERIES
T rn the nit over to
access the battery compart-
ment door (fig re 11).
Unscrew the two retaining
screws and remove the com-
partment door. Install eight
AA ALKALINE batteries (not
incl ded) by following the
imprinted g ides in the battery compartment. Replace the
compartment door and tighten the screws back into place.
Pl g the power cord from the battery pack into the
CLC-200 and tighten sn gly.
Note— The battery compartment is not sealed. After se in a wet
environment, remove the batteries and leave the compartment open.
This allows it to dry and minimize any corrosion that may develop.
