TRACKFISH 6600 Installation and Operation Manual

1 Introduction

The Navman TRACKFISH 6600 is a compact, rugged, highly integrated GPS navigation chartplotter and sonar shnder. It is designed to be easy to use and has a large, easy to read colour display. Complex navigation or shnding functions can be performed with a few key presses, taking the hard work out of boating. This manual describes how to install and operate the TRACKFISH and gives troubleshooting and operating tips. chosen and the type of transducer used. The TRACKFISH can be used to nd sh, to locate features on the bottom such as reefs or wrecks and to help recognize favourite shing spots from the bottom prole. The TRACKFISH uses Navmans proprietary SBN technology for sonar processing. Digital adaptive lter algorithms enhance all returned signals and lter false returns. Active noise control rejects interference, which can often be mistaken by shnders for true returns.

GPS Navigation

The TRACKFISH has a built-in chart of the world, suitable for route planning and general interest. To see chart details for a region, plug in a C-MAP chart card (an electronic chart). The TRACKFISH receives GPS position information from an external GPS antenna and displays the boats position and speed. The TRACKFISH can navigate to a point or can navigate along a route. When the boat is navigating to one of these points, the TRACKFISH displays course information for the helmsman to follow. The TRACKFISH can control an autopilot.

Other functions

With an optional fuel kit, the TRACKFISH becomes a sophisticated yet easy to use fuel computer. Navigation data can be saved to a plug-in user card so that it can be easily transferred to another Navman chartplotter. The TRACKFISH is part of the Navman family of instruments, which includes instruments for speed, depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be connected together to form an integrated data system (see section 16-6). For maximum benet, please read this manual carefully before installing and using the unit. Special terms are explained in Appendix C.

Sonar fishfinding

The TRACKFISH has a 50 kHz / 200 kHz dual frequency sonar transducer and a 600 W RMS power output to ensure that the TRACKFISH operates effectively in shallow and deep water. The TRACKFISH can detect the bottom to a depth of 3300 feet (1000 metres) depending on the clarity of the water, the ultrasonic frequency

8 Sonar fishfinding: Introduction
This section explains how to interpret the sonar displays, when and why to use the different frequencies and how sh are detected and displayed. It also describes Gain and Range and shows examples of some of the different sonar displays.

8-1 Using the TRACKFISH

The TRACKFISH uses a sonar transducer attached to the hull. The transducer generates an ultrasonic pulse (sound that is above the hearing range of the human ear), which travels down towards the bottom at a speed of about 4800 ft/sec (1463 m/sec), spreading out into a cone shape. When the pulse meets an object, such as a sh or the bottom, it is partly reected back up towards the boat as an echo. The depth of the object or bottom is calculated by the TRACKFISH by measuring the time taken between sending a pulse and receiving the echo. When an echo has been returned, the next pulse is sent. The TRACKFISH converts each echo into an electronic signal, displayed as a vertical line of pixels. The most recent echo appears on the extreme right of the display, with the older echoes being scrolled towards the left, eventually disappearing off the display. The scroll speed depends upon the water depth and scroll speed setting. See sections 15-3 and section 8-2, for more information. The appearance of echoes displayed are affected by:
Cruise, Fishing and Manual Modes
The TRACKFISH has three sonar operating modes:
Cruise mode: Use this when on the move. The TRACKFISH automatically adjusts its settings to compensate for water clarity and to display the bottom. Fishing mode: Use this when shing. The TRACKFISH automatically adjusts its settings to compensate for water clarity and to best display sh, the bottom and other details.
Manual mode: Use this to ne-tune the TRACKFISH settings by hand. Best results are often achieved in manual mode, but practice and experience are required to obtain the optimum settings for different conditions. To select an operating mode, press GOTO/ AUTO and select the mode. When you select Manual mode, the TRACKFISH reverts to your last manual settings.For more information on operating modes and the TRACKFISH settings, see section 8-5.

If the boat is anchored then sh will tend to

Fish arches

In good conditions, a sh passing through the cone-shaped ultrasonic pulse is displayed as a sh arch. The 50 kHz frequency uses a wider cone than the 200 kHz frequency. This makes
show on the display as horizontal lines as they swim into and out of the transducer sonar beam. Slow speeds in deeper water give the best sh arch returns. Range is important. It will be much easier to see sh arches when using zoom mode to concentrate on a particular section of water, rather than just displaying everything from the surface to the bottom. Zooming increases screen resolution and is necessary for good sh arches. It is difcult to get sh arches in shallow water as the transducer sonar beam is very narrow near the surface and sh do not stay within the beam long enough to display an arch. Several sh in shallow water tend to display as randomly stacked areas of colour. Wave motion may result in distorted sh arches.

8-5 Gain, threshold and range
The TRACKER has three settings that affect the sonar display:
Gain: The gain of the sonar receiver. The gain should be high to display good detail, but if the gain is too high then information from the strong bottom signal is lost and false echoes might be displayed. There is a separate gain setting for each sonar frequency, 50 kHz and 200 kHz. Threshold: Return echoes less than the threshold are ignored. The threshold should be as low as possible, but if the threshold is too low, unwanted noise will be displayed. Threshold is set as a percentage of gain. For example, if the threshold is 50 %, then return echoes less than 50 % of the maximum signal are ignored. There is a separate threshold setting for each sonar frequency, 50 kHz and 200 kHz. To display the current settings for gain and threshold, select a sonar display and press ENTER: Range: The vertical depth covered by a TRACKFISH sonar display. For example, if the range is 100 m, then the sonar display shows depths between 0 and 100 m. The range is displayed at the bottom,
right corner of a sonar display. If the bottom is deeper than the specied depth range, it will not be shown on the display. The TRACKFISH has three operating modes, Cruise, Fishing and Manual (see section 8-1). In Cruise and Fishing modes, the TRACKFISH automatically adjusts gain and threshold for good performance and adjusts range to always show the bottom. In manual mode, you can hand adjust the settings.
8-5-1 Changing between automatic and manual modes
Select a sonar display before changing mode (see section 9). a Using an automatic mode Press GOTO/AUTO and select Cruise or Fishing (see section 8-1). The TRACKFISH will adjust gain, threshold and range automatically. Using manual mode Press GOTO/AUTO and select Manual. The TRACKFISH reverts to your last manual settings (see section 8-1). Adjusting gain or threshold manually 1 Press ENTER to display the gain window: 2 Press or to select the setting to adjust. 3 Press or adjust the setting. If the TRACKFISH is in Cruise or Fishing modes, it will stop adjusting gain and threshold automatically but will continue to adjust range automatically. Tip: Use the A-scope display to help set gain or threshold manually (see section 8-5-2). To revert to automatic:

15-4 Setup > GPS

Press MENU once or more until the Setup menu is displayed, then select System: averaging them. A lower value averages measurements over a shorter period of time. This gives the most accurate value but has the most uctuations. A higher value averages measurements over a longer period of time. This gives the most stable value but will ignore some true speed changes. Set the Speed and Course lters to the lowest values which give stable readings. The range of each lter is 1 to 60 seconds or Off (0).

GPS Source

There are two options: NMEA: Use the external GPS antenna supplied or an external GPS or DGPS source connected via NMEA (see section 16-6). NavBus: Use an external GPS or DGPS source connected via NavBus (see section 16-6).

DGPS Source

Enables or disables the satellite based DGPS correction (see section 7). The options are None or WAAS/EGNOS. Do not enable WAAS/EGNOS outside their coverage areas or the accuracy of the position might be degraded. WAAS covers all of the USA and most of Canada. To use WASS, the GPS antenna must have a clear view of the sky towards the equator. EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe.

Static Navigation

When the boat stops or moves very slowly, the calculated GPS speed and course become erratic. Static navigation is a number, and the options are: 0.01 to 99.9: If the boat speed is slower than this, the speed is displayed as zero and the course stays unchanged. 0 (Off): The calculated speed and course are always used.

Speed and Course Filter

Waves and wind cause the boat position, speed and course to uctuate slightly. To give stable readings, the TRACKFISH calculates these values by taking several measurements and

Press MENU once or more until the Setup menu is displayed, then select Calibrate: The fuel options can be calibrated only when the optional single or twin engine kit is installed on petrol/gasoline engines. value to match the measured temperature. The temperature can be set from 32 to 99.9F (0 to 37.7C) with a resolution of 0.1 unit. To change the units between F (Fahrenheit) or C (Celsius), see section 15-9.

Temperature filter

Water turbulence and currents cause the water temperature to uctuate slightly. To give stable readings, the TRACKFISH calculates these values by taking several measurements and averaging them. Set the Temperature lter to the lowest value which gives stable readings. The range is 1 to 30 seconds or Off (0).
This calibrates the speed from the paddlewheel transducer. Calibration may be required because different hull shapes have different flow characteristics.Obtain an accurate measurement of the boat's speed from a GPS receiver; or by following another boat travelling at a known speed; or by making a timed run over a known distance. Note: for accurate calibration: The speed from a GPS receiver should be greater than 5 knots. The speed from another paddlewheel transducer should be between 5 and 20 knots. Best results are achieved in calm conditions where there is minimal current (best at high or low tide). Press or to change the displayed speed to the true value.

Calibrating the fuel usage can improve the accuracy of fuel measurements. Twin engine installations require each fuel transducer to be calibrated. This can be done at the same time with two portable tanks or at different times using one portable tank. Calibrating the fuel transducer(s) requires accurate measurement of the fuel consumption. This is best done using a small portable tank. At least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel should be used to ensure an accurate calibration. It is often very difcult to ll underoor tanks to the same level twice due to air pockets, so the more fuel used, the more accurate the calibration. To calibrate the fuel transducer(s), perform the following steps: 1. Record the level of the fuel in the tank(s). 2. Connect the portable tank(s) to the engine through the fuel transducer(s). 3. Run the engine at normal cruising speed until at least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel has been used per engine. 4. Check the actual amount of fuel used per engine by relling the portable tank(s) to the original level and noting the reading(s) from the fuel dispensers gauge. 5. Select Fuel. Use the cursor keys to change the reading for each engine to match that on the fuel dispensers gauge. 6. Press ENTER when the reading is correct. Note: If the fuel calibration options appear to give erroneous readings after a while,

Speed filter

Waves and wind cause the boat speed from the paddlewheel transducer to uctuate slightly. To give stable readings, the TRACKFISH calculates these values by taking several measurements and averaging them. Set the Speed lter to the lowest value which gives stable readings. The range is 1 to 30 seconds or Off (0).
The factory settings should be sufciently accurate for normal usage. To calibrate the temperature readout, rst measure the water temperature with a thermometer known to be accurate. Use the cursor keys to display the temperature readout box, then increase or decrease the
first check that the fuel sensor has been installed correctly according to the installation instructions supplied with it, then see Appendix B - Troubleshooting.

Keel Offset

Keel offset is a depth correction representing the vertical distance between the depth transducer and the location from which the depth is to be measured. Enter a positive keel offset value when the transducer is located below the water surface but the total depth is required. Enter a negative keel offset value when the depth below the deepest part of the boat is required (such as the keel, the rudder or the propeller) and the transducer is located closer to the water surface. Use the cursor keys to select Keel offset, to display the Keel offset box. then press Use the or cursor keys to adjust the value.

B-3 Sonar fishfinding problems
3-1 The TRACKFISH operates erratically: a Check that the transducer does not have debris (e.g. weed, plastic bag) caught around it. b The transducer may have been damaged during launching, running aground or while underway with debris etc. If the transducer has been impacted, it may have been kicked up on the bracket. If it is not physically damaged, reset the transducer back to its original position. (See the Transom Transducer Installation Guide.) c When the transducer is less that 2 ft (0.6 m) from the bottom, the depth readings may become inconsistent and erratic. d Manual Gain may be set too low, which may cause weak bottom echo or no sh signals. If in Manual Gain, try increasing the Gain. e Ensure the back of the bottom surface of the transducer is slightly lower than the front and the front is as deep in the water as possible in order to minimize the generation of bubbles through cavitation. (See the Transom Transducers Installation Guide.) f Check the transducer and power cable connectors at the back of the display unit are securely plugged in and the collars are locked in place. The collars must be secure for watertight connection. g Inspect the power cable from end to end for damage such as cuts, breaks, squashed or trapped sections. h Ensure there is not another fishfinder or depth sounder turned on, which may interfere with this TRACKFISH. i Electrical noise from the boats engine or an accessory may be interfering with the transducer(s) and/or the TRACKFISH. This may cause the TRACKFISH to automatically decrease the Gain unless using Manual Gain. The TRACKFISH thus eliminates weaker signals such as sh or even the bottom from the display. This may be checked by switching off other instruments, accessories (e.g. bilge pump) and the motor until the offending device is located. To stop problems from electrical noise, try:
re-routing the power and transducer cable(s) away from the boats other electrical wiring. - routing the display units power cable directly to the battery with an inline fuse. 3-2 Bottom is not displayed: a The TRACKFISH may have Manual Range selected and the depth may be outside the range value selected. Either change the TRACKFISH to Auto Range or select another depth range (see section 8-5). b The depth may be outside the TRACKFISHs range. While in Auto Range, the display unit will display --.- to indicate that there is no bottom detected. A display of the bottom should reappear when in shallower water. 3-3 The bottom is displayed too far up the screen: The TRACKFISH may have Manual Range selected and the selected Range value is too high for the depth. Either change the TRACKFISH to Auto Range or select another depth range (see section 8-5). 3-4 Bottom echo disappears or erratic digital reading while the boat is moving: a Ensure the back of the bottom surface of the transducer is slightly lower than the front and the front is as deep in the water as possible in order to minimise the generation of bubbles through cavitation. (See the Transom Transducers Installation Guide, for more information.) b The transducer may be in turbulent water. Air bubbles in the water disrupt the echoes returned, interfering with the TRACKFISHs ability to nd the bottom or other targets. This often happens when the boat is reversed. The transducer must be mounted in a smooth ow of water in order for the TRACKFISH to work at all boat speeds. c Electrical noise from the boats motor can interfere with the TRACKFISH. Try some suppression spark plugs. 3-5 There is a double bottom trace displayed: a The boat may be in an area that

generates shadows (see section 8-2). In shallow water, the echoes may bounce. Reduce the gain setting (see section 8-5) and/or reduce the sonar pulse power (see section 15-3). Decrease the Range.
B-4 Fuel consumption problems
Note: For the TRACKFISH to measure fuel consumption, the optional fuel flow kit must be fitted. 4-1 Fuel used or remaining seem inaccurate: a If the engine is run while the TRACKFISH is powered off, the TRACKFISH does not record the amount of fuel used during that engine run. Consequently, the Fuel remaining value will be higher than the actual amount of fuel remaining in the tank. To avoid this problem, use the Auto Power Wiring option (see section 16-5).This ensures that the TRACKFISH powers on automatically whenever the boats ignition is switched on. b In rough seas, fuel may surge back and forth through the fuel transducer, resulting in incorrect readings. Try installing a one-way valve between the fuel transducer and the fuel tank. c The S e t r e m a i n i n g fuel value must be reset after every refuelling (see section 15-5). d The fuel tank may not rell to the same capacity each time due to air pockets. This is particularly noticable with underoor tanks. e Fuel transducers wear out over time and should be replaced after every 5000 litres of fuel. 4-2 Flow indicates no fuel or low fuel: a Check that the number of engines is set to 1 (see section 15-5). b Check that the fuel cable connectors are securely plugged in and the collar is locked in place. The collar must be locked in place to give a watertight connection. c A fuel transducer may be clogged. If so, remove the transducer from the fuel line and gently blow through it in the opposite direction to the fuel ow. A fuel lter between the fuel transducer and the fuel tank must be installed as per the fuel installation guide. Failure to do so will void the warranty. d Inspect the fuel cable from end to end for damage such as cuts, breaks, trapped or squashed sections.
e Check that the fuel lter is clean. 4-3 A twin engine installation shows only one flow rate: a Check that the number of engines is set to 2 (see section 15-5) 4-4 Erratic Fuel Flow readings: a The fuel ow transducer may have been mounted too close to the fuel pump or may be subject to excessive vibration. Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the fuel transducer. b Check for leaks in the fuel line or in the fuel pickup in the tank. c The Flow lter value is not suitable for the engine. Check that the value is not set to zero, then try increasing the value until a steady ow rate is shown (see section 15-5) 4-5 There is no reading for fuel economy: a The boat must be travelling through the water to generate an Economy reading. b Check that the paddlewheel on the transducer is spinning freely and that the two magnets in the paddlewheel are still in place.

Navigation data

The boat is sailing from the start to the destination and has moved off the plotted course from the start to the destination. BRG CDI Bearing to Destination: Bearing to the destination from the boat. Course Deviation Indicator: When the boat is navigating to a point, the chart and highway displays show a parallel line on either side of the plotted course. These two lines are called the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) lines. The distance from the plotted course to a CDI line is the CDI scale. Set the CDI scale (see section 15-2) to the maximum distance that the boat should deviate from the plotted course. The chart and highway displays show the CDI lines, which are like a highway over the water where the boat will move. The displays show how far the boat has deviated from the plotted course and if the boat is approaching a CDI line. If the XTE alarm is enabled (see section 15-8) an alarm will sound if the boat reaches a CDI line. COG CTS DTG ETA Course Over Ground: Direction in which the boat is moving over the ground. Course To Steer: Optimum course to steer to return to the plotted course. Distance To Go: Distance from the boat to the destination. Expected Time of Arrival: At the destination, assuming that SOG and COG remain constant. Speed Over Ground: Current boat speed over the ground. This is not necessarily the same as the boat speed through the water nor the speed at which it is approaching the destination. Steering: The difference between COG and CTS. Time To Go: The estimated time to reach the destination. Cross Track Error: The distance from the boat to the nearest point of the plotted course. XTE may have a letter: R means steer to the right to return to the plotted course, L means steer to the left. Velocity Made Good: The speed at which the boat is approaching the destination. +BRG Bearing to cursor: Bearing to cursor from boat (cursor mode, see section 3-2)

1 Introduction

The Navman SmartCraftTM gateway connects one or two SmartCraft capable Mercury petrol/gasoline engines to a SmartCraft capable Navman instrument, such as the FISH 4380, FISH 4600 or TRACKFISH 6600. The single gateway is for single engines, the dual gateway is for twin engines. Adding the gateway extends the functions of the Navman instrument, allowing the instrument to: Display engine data, such as speed, RPM, pressures, tank levels. Control troll speed and display trim. Sound an alarm if it detects an abnormal engine condition. This manual describes: How to install a Navman SmartCraft gateway. How to use the SmartCraft functions of a Navman SmartCraft capable instrument. Refer to the separate Navman instrument Installation and Operation Manual for information on how to install and use the instrument. The engine data available in a system depends on the type of engine used (see section 1-1). The gateway replaces any fuel flow sensors that might be plugged into the Navman instrument. It is vital to read this document and the associated SmartCraft and Navman installation and operation manuals before installing or using the system.

Power/fuel splitter cable (Y cable) Plug gateway into white connector FISH 4380
For a Navman instrument with a white fuel sensor connector (such as a FISH 4600 or TRACKFISH 6600):
Plug gateway into white connector FISH 4600, TRACKFISH 6600
Other wiring, refer to the instruments manual
For any Navman instrument, using a NavBus junction box to connect to power/data cable (black power connector):
Power/data cable Other wiring, refer to the instruments manual
The wires from the gateway to the Navman instrument cable can be connected to the instruments power/data cable. This option is not normally necessary. For more information, refer to your Navman dealer. Cut white connector off gateway cable. Connect five gateway cable wires (red, black, blue, orange, brown) to the same colour wires in the power/data cable. An optional Navman NavBus junction box simplifies wiring.

NavBus junction box

2-3 Installation
1 Plan the installation: select where the equipment and wiring will be installed. Ensure that gateway can be located on a panel near the Navman instrument, where it will not interfere with the operation of the boat. (eg: cables are long enough for the installation planned) Screw the gateway to the panel using the screws provided. Connect the gateway (see sections 2-1 and 2-2). Secure the cables at regular intervals. Power up, set up and test the system. Check the gateway LEDs: NAV (orange): Flashes fast when gateway is exchanging data with the Navman instrument and the engine key is on. PWR (green): On when power and the engine key are on. CAN (red): Flashes fast when gateway is exchanging data with the SmartCraft engine(s) and the engine key is on. Important: 3 Do not connect any Navman fuel sensors to the Navman instrument. It is not necessary to wire any Navman instrument for auto power on. The Navman SmartCraft capable instrument sends SmartCraft data to other Navman instruments connected by NavBus. To connect other instruments by NavBus, see the instruments installation and operation manual. Turn NavBus on in all Navman instruments connected by NavBus; for example, for a Fish 4380, in the Comms setup menu, turn NavBus to On. A gateway does not provide data for system link gauges. To use speed troll control, the Navman instrument must have a Navman paddlewheel speed sensor connected.

3 Operation with a Navman FISH 4380
Before a SmartCraft gateway is connected, the FISH 4380 functions normally, with no SmartCraft functions. When a SmartCraft gateway is connected and SmartCraft is turned On (see section 3-1), SmartCraft functions become available and some standard functions change.

Steering angle

Set up and calibrate the steering angle (see section 4-7-3).

Tank type

Select the tank type (Unused, Fuel, Water, Oil or Waste).
Set the speed range for an analog speed gauge. The options are High, Medium and Low. A higher range displays a higher maximum speed but the display is more compressed.

Display type

The data from the level sensor in each tank is the depth in the tank as a percentage of the depth when the tank is full. If the sides of the tank are not vertical and straight, or if the tank top and bottom are not flat, then the level sensor data does not correspond to the volume in the tank; for example if the sensor shows 50 %, the tank is not 50 % full. The Display type option selects how the level sensor data is displayed: Percentage: Display the percentage level sensor data. The default is the percentage level sensor data. If the tank is calibrated, then a calibrated percentage is displayed. Volume: Display a volume calculated from the sensor data. The default is a linear calculation, for example if the tank holds 500 G and the sensor shows 50 % of full, then 250 G is displayed. This is correct if the sides of the tank are vertical and straight and the tank top and bottom are flat. If this is not so, calibrate the tank (see Calibrate below).

Follow the on-screen instructions displayed to calibrate the displayed trim angle, and press as required.

Reset calibration

Reset the tank calibration to the default - the displayed volume is calculated linearly from the sensor data (see Display type above). Any tank calibration data will be lost.
