inner circuitry if the input voltage exceeds 16 VDC or is less than 10 VDC. If either of these conditions causes the unit to shut down, a message will indicate this.

NOTE: Powering the unit off will reset these messages.

The right side of the Diagnostic screen evaluates external connections to the unit. The first category is Transducer input. If a transducer is detected, the message will indicate Connected". This is an excellent way to confirm transducer connection. If a transducer is connected directly to the unit, the connection will be indicated here. If a switch is used, use Diagnostic to confirm the connections from each transducer. If a series of dashed lines is shown, then no transducer is connected or there is a problem with the transducer or cable.

The next categories indicate the connection of boat speed sensor and surface water temperature sensor. If the sensors are connected and working properly, a "connected" message will appear.

Note: The speed sensor can only be detected when the boat is in motion as the paddle wheel on the speed sensor must rotate to produce speed input.

The voltage input category is especially helpful in diagnosing input voltage problems. The current input voltage will be displayed. If voltage fluctuates or power supply in excess of 16 VDC or less than 10 VDC is suspected, use the diagnostic screen to confirm input voltage. Often, small outboard motors do not effectively regulate voltage when operated at high engine speeds. Use Diagnostic while running the boat at high speeds to show the voltage gain. Also, if you are using the Wide 3D Paramount in portable configuration or from the trolling motor battery, Diagnostic can be used to evaluate the health of the battery by showing the current voltage.

The total time category indicates the total time the unit has been in use since shipped from the factory.

Note: It is normal for some hours to be indicated in the total time when the unit is new due to factory testing.

While this is often of interest to the user, it is primarily a diagnostic tool for the repair technician should service be required.

Press VIEW to access additional Diagnostic information.

The second Diagnostic screen provides valuable information about the sonar function of the Wide 3D Paramount. The six columns of information show the raw sonar signal as it is seen by the unit.

This information is useful in both troubleshooting a potential fault, as well as aiding in the transducer installation (for through the hull installations only).

3D specifications

Humminbird 3D is a groundbreaking sonar technology that has revolutionized the way anglers and marine enthusiasts navigate and fish under the surface of water. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques, this system provides an unparalleled view of underwater structures, fish, and other elements, making it a vital tool for any serious angler.

At its core, Humminbird 3D employs a proprietary sonar technology that combines traditional 2D sonar with sophisticated 3D mapping capabilities. This dual functionality allows users to visualize underwater environments in a way that was previously unimaginable. The 3D views offer depth perception, enabling anglers to identify ledges, drop-offs, and other crucial fishing spots with precision. Instead of just a flat representation, users can see the terrain's contours, making it easier to understand the underwater landscape.

One of the standout features of Humminbird 3D is its ability to create real-time three-dimensional maps. This allows users to dynamically adjust their strategies while fishing, as they can continually monitor how fish are interacting with their surroundings. Furthermore, the system boasts enhanced target separation capabilities, making it easier to distinguish between individual fish and structures.

Another key technology utilized in Humminbird 3D is its integration with the CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar technology. This allows for clearer images and improved target resolution, providing comprehensive details about various underwater elements. The result is greater accuracy in identifying fish species and understanding their behavior in relation to underwater structures.

Humminbird 3D also features an easy-to-use interface, designed to be intuitive for users of all experience levels. The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing Humminbird products, enhancing the functionality of existing setups without requiring a complete overhaul. Additionally, it supports connectivity with other devices, allowing for the sharing of data and enhancing the overall fishing experience.

Durability and reliability are also characteristics inherent to the Humminbird 3D system. Designed for the harsh environments of marine use, it can withstand the rigors of fishing and boating, ensuring that users have a dependable tool at their disposal.

In summary, Humminbird 3D is a game-changer in the realm of sonar technology, providing anglers with unprecedented insights into underwater environments. Its combination of 3D mapping, CHIRP sonar, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly interface makes it a valuable asset for anyone looking to enhance their fishing experience and gain an edge on the water.
