Sistem LiveScope™ XR cu sondă GLS 10™ și LVS62

Garmin's LiveScope™ XR system is an evolution of real-time sonar technologies, specifically designed to provide extended range and improved target detection in deeper waters. Unlike traditional LiveScope systems, the LiveScope XR is optimized for longer distances, offering enhanced visibility for freshwater and saltwater fishing.

This system includes the GLS 10™ sonar module and the LVS62 transducer.

The LVS62 transducer is designed for versatile installation on your electric motor. Three mounting options are included:

Perspective mode mounting: Allows the transducer to be used for perspective, downward, and forward views. An 11-degree angled extension arm facilitates transitions between these modes.Barrel mount: Enables downward and forward views only. Perspective view is not possible.Shaft mount: Also enables downward and forward views without perspective. This mounting type offers a more discreet installation.Adjustment knobs are provided for tool-free view changes.

With the mounting in perspective mode, you can use the perspective, down, and forward views. With mounting on the engine block or direct mounting on the propeller shaft, the transducer can only be used for down and forward views. The perspective mode is not available with these two mounting options.

Yes, it is mandatory to update the software of your Garmin chartplotter when installing the LiveScope™ XR system. Detailed instructions for this update are usually found in your chartplotter's user manual.

For installing the transducer, you will need the following tools:

A drillA bit suitable for the mounting material selected for the GLS™ 10 sonar module and for the surfaceA flat-head screwdriver or an 8 mm wrench/socket to install the mounting clamp on the shaftBlack electrical tape (preferred) or cable ties

To manage the transducer cable, it is recommended to:

Use black electrical tape to secure the cable above and below the swivel joint of your electric motor. If using cable ties, do not overtighten them.Create a service loop of at least 25 cm (10 in) in the cable, with the swivel joint centered on the loop, to allow full motor rotation without tension.Install the included ferrite bead on the transducer cable near the connector to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).Ensure the cable does not touch the propeller and is not pinched during motor deployment or stowage.

The LiveScope™ XR system is designed for seamless integration with compatible Garmin chartplotters. It is essential to verify the specific compatibility of your Garmin chartplotter model to ensure optimal operation.

No. Using third-party or self-made mounting brackets can damage or lose the transducer. Damage or loss caused by using a third-party or self-made bracket is not covered by the warranty.
