Adaptér 6pin sondy / 8pin hloubkoměru

The Garmin 6-pin to 8-pin transducer adapter (reference 010-11613-00) is designed to connect existing non-differential Garmin or Airmar 6-pin transducers to newer Garmin sounder modules with an 8-pin port. It allows you to upgrade your sonar detection system without replacing your current transducer entirely.

The adapter housing dimensions are 59.1 mm wide, 48.97 mm high, and 104 mm long (approximately 2.3 x 1.9 x 4.1 inches).

The length of the adapter cable connecting the housing to the depth sounder module is 61 cm (24 inches).

The Garmin transducer adapter has an IEC 60529 IPX7 waterproof rating. This means it can withstand accidental immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for a maximum of 30 minutes.

No, this adapter is not designed to be used with an 8-pin Garmin differential transducer. 8-pin Garmin differential transducers must be connected directly to the 8-pin port of the sounder module.

No, the adapter is not supplied with tools. You will need your own tools for installation, including a drill, screwdrivers (Phillips #2 and flat 3 mm), wire cutters, wire strippers, and wrenches (21 mm and 15 mm or adjustable). Cable ties are also optional.

Yes, to connect an existing 6-pin non-differential transducer to this adapter, you must cut the original connector of your transducer. The wires from the cut transducer will then be connected to an internal terminal block inside the adapter housing.

Yes, the adapter includes an internal terminal block. You will connect the wires from your existing transducer to this terminal block after cutting off its original connector.

This adapter is specifically designed for non-differential transducers, such as Garmin or Airmar 6-pin models. It allows connection to an 8-pin Garmin fishfinder module.

Yes, this adapter is designed to be used with non-differential 6-pin Airmar transducers, in addition to 6-pin Garmin transducers.

The adapter is compatible with a wide range of Garmin chartplotters and fishfinder modules featuring an 8-pin port. This includes, among others, the Garmin echoMAP and GPSMAP series, as well as the GSD 24 and GSD 25 fishfinder modules.

Yes, this adapter is compatible with Garmin echoMAP and GPSMAP chartplotters and fishfinders equipped with an 8-pin port.

Yes, that is precisely the main purpose of this adapter. It allows connecting an existing 6-pin Garmin transducer (non-differential) to a newer Garmin sounder module with an 8-pin port.

Yes, the adapter is compatible with Garmin GSD 24 and GSD 25 fishfinder modules, as well as other Garmin fishfinder modules equipped with an 8-pin port.

When selecting the mounting location, ensure the adapter cable (61 cm / 24 in) can easily reach the transducer connector on the depth sounder module. The housing must not be submerged and must be mounted at least 15.25 cm (6 in) away from any electrical interference source, such as an engine. If the mounting surface is unsuitable for screws, you can secure the housing to a structure using hose clamps (not included).

For installation, you will need the following tools:

A drill and a 3.2 mm (1/8 in) bitA Phillips screwdriver #2A 3 mm flathead screwdriverCable ties (optional)A wire cutterWire strippersA 21 mm (13/16 in) wrenchA 15 mm (or adjustable) wrench (optional)

To prepare your depth sounder cable:

Cut the connector off your non-differential transducer as close as possible to the connector.Pass the cut end of the cable through the nut on the side of the housing and pull it through to the other side.Use a wire stripper to remove approximately 90 mm (3.5 in) of the outer jacket and foil shield from the cable.Use a wire stripper to remove approximately 6 mm (1/4 in) of insulation from each internal wire.It is recommended to tin the exposed wires.

If your transducer does not have temperature sensing capability, you must install a jumper between terminals 4 (Ground) and 5 (Temp +1) on the internal terminal block of the adapter.

To connect the transducer wires to the terminal block, use a 3 mm flathead screwdriver. Each wire from the transducer must be connected to the corresponding terminal on the block according to its function:

1: Depth + (Positive depth)
2: Depth - (Negative depth)
3: Shield (Cable shielding of the transducer)
4: Ground (Common ground for the sonar system)
5: Temp +1 (Positive water temperature)
6: XID (Airmar transducer identification)
7: Speed power (Power supply for the speed sensor)
8: Speed data (Speed sensor data)
Color-coded wire charts are available in the documentation to help identify wire functions for certain Garmin and Airmar 6-pin transducers. Once connections are secure, tighten the nut around the transducer cable with a 21 mm wrench.
