Modul sondor GLS™ 10

The Garmin GLS 10 fishfinder module operates exclusively with the following Panoptix LiveScope transducers:

Panoptix LiveScope LVS32Panoptix LiveScope LVS34 (LiveScope Plus)Panoptix LiveScope LVS62These transducers allow you to view real-time scanning sonar images directly on your compatible Garmin GPS chartplotter.

The GLS 10 sounder module is supplied with the following contents:

The GLS 10 module measures 24.5 x 14.9 x 6.5 centimeters and weighs 2 kilograms. These compact dimensions allow flexible installation aboard your boat in available spaces.

The GLS 10 fishfinder module can scan down to a maximum depth of 61 meters in Down (downward) and Forward (forward) mode. This exceptional depth allows exploration of the seabed and deep fishing grounds.

The GLS 10 module has an IPX7 water resistance rating. This means it can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for a maximum of 30 minutes. The module must not be permanently submerged and should be installed in a location where there is no risk of complete submersion.

The GLS 10 module operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 32 volts. Power consumption is 21 watts in standard mode and 58 watts maximum. A 7.5 amp fuse is included and required to protect the module's electrical circuit.

The GLS 10 module can operate within a temperature range of -15°C to 70°C. This extended range allows its use in varied climatic conditions, from extreme cold to intense heat.

The GLS 10 fishfinder module supports frequencies from 530 to 1,100 kHz. This wide frequency range provides full coverage for various sounding applications and enables precise detection of seabeds and underwater objects.

The GLS 10 module delivers a 500-watt transmission power. This sufficient power, combined with Panoptix LiveScope technology, provides exceptional real-time scanning sonar images, ideal for sight fishing, vertical jigging, and all demanding fishing techniques.

Follow these steps to install the GLS 10:

Select a well-ventilated location, protected from extreme temperatures and free from immersion riskMark the mounting hole positionsDrill pilot holes with a 4 mm bit (depth: 19 mm)Secure the unit with the included screws and apply marine sealantConnect the power cable to the POWER portConnect the Garmin Marine Network cable to the NETWORK portConnect the transducer cable to the XDCR portUpdate your GPS display software

The GLS 10 module must be installed in a location:

Well-ventilated and protected from extreme temperaturesWhere the LED indicators are visibleWhere cables can be connected easilyWhere the device will not be submergedProtected from direct water and spray exposureThe module must not be permanently exposed to harsh weather conditions.

When routing the transducer cable, follow these guidelines:

Create a service loop at least 25 cm long above and below the swivel pointMaintain a minimum of 10 cm of free space above and below the swivel pointUse black electrical tape to secure the cableDo not route the cable near electrical wires or other sources of electromagnetic interferenceEnsure the cable is not pinched when deploying or stowing the engineAvoid over-tightening cable ties that could damage the cable

Yes, the power cable can be extended up to 36 feet (11 meters) using wires of appropriate gauge:

10 AWG (5.26 mm²) up to 4.6 m (15 feet)
8 AWG (8.36 mm²) up to 7 m (23 feet)
6 AWG (13.29 mm²) up to 11 m (36 feet)
Proper splicing must be used and a minimum distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the fuse and the battery.

A 7.5 amp fast-blow fuse must be used with the GLS 10 module. This fuse is included in the packaging and is essential for protecting the electrical circuit. Do not remove the fuse, as this could damage the device and compromise its operation.

The GLS 10 module has 1 Garmin Marine Network™ port with a small connector. This single port allows you to connect the module to your compatible Garmin GPS display via the included 2-meter Garmin Marine Network cable.

Yes, the GLS 10 is compatible with trolling motors. The module can be used with Panoptix LiveScope transducers mounted on trolling motors to provide real-time imaging. When installing on a trolling motor, ensure the transducer cable is routed correctly to prevent damage during motor rotation.

Yes, it is essential to update the software of your Garmin GPS chartplotter after installing the GLS 10. This update activates the full features of the depth sounder module and ensures optimal compatibility between the two devices. Refer to your GPS chartplotter’s owner’s manual for the update procedures.

The GLS 10 module is ideal for:

Sight fishing with real-time imagingVertical fishing at depthDeep-sea fishing down to 61 metersProfessional and demanding recreational fishingUnderwater imaging in freshwater or shallow seaThe Panoptix LiveScope technology delivers exceptional responsiveness for ultra-precise seabed reading and fish detection.
