Lowrance HDS Carbon Networking Question - 01/03/22 08:54 PM
I have three 7" Carbons networked on my Ranger RT178. My question is regarding how to set Sonar Channels on each head unit to ensure I have them all set up correctly. I currently have them set as follows:
Bow Unit - Minn Kota US2 Transducer connected - Channel 1 set to "ON", Chanel 2 set to "OFF" and Network Sonar set to "ON"
Console Unit (Right) - HST-WSBL Transducer connected at stern - Channel 1 set to "ON", Chanel 2 set to "OFF" and Network Sonar set to "ON"
Console Unit (Left) - AI 3 in 1 Transducer connected at stern - Channel 1 set to "OFF", Chanel 2 set to "ON" and Network Sonar set to "ON"
The units are networked via an NEP-2 Ethernet hub.
One reason for the above question was when I was selecting another source on Sonar at console, there where two Bow unit selections. When I checked, I had the Channel 2 setting to "ON". I changed it to "OFF" but did not recheck to see if two Bow options were present when selecting source. I took them all off the boat last week to prepare for the sub-freezing weather as I always do in winter time.
Thanks in advance for any guidance and/or quick tips.
