connectors are supplied to

attach the fuse holder to the

power cable. The red wire in the

power cable is the

positive con-

ductor The black wire is the

ground or negative conductor.

The graph is protected from

accidental polarity reversals and

no damage will occur if the wires

are reversed. The unit will not

operate until the proper polarity

applied.

FIGURE 3

When installing the power

cable,

you will find two extra wires com-

ing from the power

cable. The

green one is for an optional Power

Booster and the other

white wire

is for connection to a Loran C

receiver If neither of these fea-

tures are going

to be used, tape

the ends of the

green

and white

wires so that

they

cannot short

Refer to the Advanced Operation

section for more information on

these wires.

TRANSDUCER SELECTION

Lowrance offers you the choice

of transducers with either an 8 or

20 degree cone

angle that will

interchange with any of our 192

kHz sonar units. In other

words,

any Lowrance sonar instrument

can be used with any Lowrance

transducer of the same frequency

without retuning of any kind, and

no loss of performance. However,

the use of any other manufac-

turer's transducer will result in a

loss of performance.

Now you can select the trans-

ducer design and cone angle

best fit your specific needs. Gen-

erally, wide cone

angle transdu-

cers

(20 degrees) are ideally

suited for operating in shallow

water or at medium depths. The

20 degree cone

angle

allows

you

to see more of the underwater

world. In 15 feet of water the 20

degree cone covers an area of the

bottom thath about 6 feet across.

The 8 degree transducer covers

only about a 2 foot circle.

way

to slow the chart paper The

chart below gives the range

of

the

Paper Save function and the

amount that each level slows the

paper.

To enable the Paper Save

function, simply press the level of

paper

save desired, then 2nd,

then 6. The paper should slow

immediately. For example,

suppose you wish to slow the

paper

down to 1/4 its present

speed. Press 3 - 2nd - 6 and the

paper

will now be traveling four

times slower than its previous

speed.

When the Paper Save function

is enabled, the X-16 will print

PSV= and the level of paper save

that you selected. For example, in

our previous example the Paper

Save value was 3. The X-1 6 will

print PSV=3 on the bottom line of

the chart paper (See Figure 45.)

The Paper Save function can

also be used with the Alternate

Transmit and Print function which

will cut any Paper Save speed in

half. This gives fourteen different

paper speeds selectable by the

operator.

To disable the Paper Save

function, simply press 0 - 2nd - 6,

and the paper will speed up.

PRINT INTENSITY

Three levels of print intensity are

provided for different conditions.

The stylus printing can be

adjusted to print lighter or darker

by using the Print Intensity mode.

When the X-16 leaves the factory,

the Print Intensity is set to level 1.

To change this setting, press the

level of intensity desired, from 0 to

2 (0 is lightest, 2 is darkest) and

then press 2nd - LINES.

For example, if the stylus is

printing too light, press 2 - 2nd -

LINES and the markings on the

chart paper should become

darker

This feature is useful when a

stylus becomes old. By using the

'2" level or darkest level, the

printing can improve. If, when

using very

slow paper speeds, the

record has much overprint due to

multiple stylus strikes in a small

area, the '0" or lightest level can
