LSS1 installed ???

Installed My LSS1 and connected it to my HDS-10 and HDS-8
Boat is sitting in the garage.
How do you know if the LSS1 is on I dont see any lights on the connection box ?
I turned on the Structure scan
Menu
Menu
System
Advanced
Features highlight all 3 bubbles

Then by using the pages button I could see the structure scan options

I turned on the simulator on the hds-10 and It took a while
but I got it to work for the structure scan and when I turned it off the screen for the structure scan read “No Sourse”. so what does this mean ?

If I check the LSS1 transducer I dont feel anything ? Should I feel anything ?
Does it only work in water ?

I know other guys will have the same questions

How did you hook up the yellow wire. If you did not hook up the yellow wire to the positive it will not work. been there done that

Yes I did hook up the yellow wire.
I tried both ways no change in results
Yellow to yellow of HDS unit
Also I put a switch inline the yellow and connected it to 12v pos

There are two wires that need to be powered. The red wire, which should be fused,and the yellow wire which should be on a switch. black negative and Blue not used

Yes, I have power to both the red and yellow.
I will double check the fuses are good.
Thanks

I checked both wires with a mulimeter and
yellow had 12.4 volts
red had 4.5 volts
I pulled the fuse and cleaned the tabs off with emery paper and got 12.4 v
Every thing lights up thanks guys

I am installing LSS1 as we speak. I want to run the yellow and red to a fuse block that is switched by my master power switch. Is it OK to run both the red & yellow this way?

Thanks!

Yes. Or if you used the HDS power cable you can hook the
yellow wires together and it will power the LSS-1 when you
turn on your HDS.

Thanks Dan, Hope to have some screen shots I can post later this week.

I just put in a HDS7 & LSS1 if you hook up the two yellow wires,you don’t need to hook the yellow from LSS1 to a power source is that correct? because the LSS1 turns on when I turn on power switch even tho the HDS7 isn’t on does this hurt anyting?
Thanks Stan

I just got done installing my 10,7, and LSS-1. I hooked up my yellow wire with the yellow wire from my hds 10. After going through my installation, I don’t see any point in hooking up the yellow to a seperate switch unless you were planning on mounting the LSS-1 some distance away from a unit where the power cords are too far apart.

That’s exactly right Jeremy. Connecting the yellow wires together is the prefered installation. This way there is a one button push to turn on both units.
