DUAL SPECTRUM CHIRP
Considerations for Connecting and Routing Dual Spectrum CHIRP
If Dual Spectrum CHIRP is pre-installed on your trolling motor, one Dual Spectrum CHIRP accessory cable will exit the base of the Control
Head and run parallel to the Coil Cord. The cable will come installed from the factory secured to the Coil Cord. Dual Spectrum CHIRP
requires cables to be connected to an output device such as a Humminbird® fish finder. The Dual Spectrum CHIRP cable that is secured to
the Coil Cord is "Apex and Solix Ready". Connecting the trolling motor equipped with a Dual Spectrum CHIRP transducer to a compatible
fish finder gives you a 2D sonar view of what is happening directly below your trolling motor. To determine if your fish finder is compatible
with Dual Spectrum CHIRP, please visit
minnkotamotors.com to check compatibility. The Dual Spectrum CHIRP cable from the trolling
motor may be plugged directly into a Solix or Apex, directly into an Extension Cable or directly into a Humminbird® Helix Adapter Cable.
EXTENSION CABLES - The Dual Spectrum CHIRP cable from the trolling motor may not be long enough to reach your fish finder. If the
cable length does not reach the desired fish finder installation location, extension cables are available. A 10-foot extension cable
(
EC M3 14W10 - 10' transducer extension cable - 720106-1) and a 30-foot extension cable (EC M3 14W30 - 30' transducer extension
cable - 720106-2
) are available from humminbird.com. Both the 10-foot and 30-foot extension cables also come "Apex and Solix Ready".
The Extension Cables may plug directly into a Solix or Apex or directly into a Helix Adapter Cable.
HUMMINBIRD HELIX ADAPTER CABLES - If connecting to a Humminbird® Helix fish finder, an adapter cable accessory is included that
will allow the connection of any compatible Humminbird® Helix fish finder. The 490537-2 MKR-MI-1 is used on Helix 8, 9, 10, 12 and 15
G2N models and newer. The 490518-1 MKR-MDI-2 is used for Helix 7 G3, G4, G3N and G4N models. The Helix adapter cables will plug
directly into the Helix fish finder.
OTHER FISH FINDER ADAPTER CABLES - If connecting to other fish finders on the market, check for compatibility or any required
adapter cables online at
minnkotamotors.com.
The integrated design of the Dual Spectrum CHIRP transducer protects it in the lower unit of the trolling motor from underwater hazards
and prevents tangles and damage to the transducer cables. In certain situations, air bubbles may adhere to the surface of the Dual
Spectrum CHIRP transducer and aect the performance. If this happens, simply wipe the surface of the transducer with your finger.
