Installation and wiring

The LSS-1 connects between the transducer and display

unit, or via a network switch.

Before installing the LSS-1, consider location and cable

runs necessary to connect the module to the display unit

and power source.

Do not run the transducer cabling near the LSS-1 DC

power cables or any VHF antenna coax or power cables

for the VHF.

The LSS-1 conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic

Compatibility (EMC) standards; but proper installation is

required to get the best use and performance from this

product.

Selecting mounting location

When installing the module certain factors that could

affect its operation should be considered. Ensure you

have as much separation as possible between different

electrical equipment, (see diagram).

Make sure the transducer cable is long enough to

connect to the LSS-1. If not, an extension cable is

available. For transducer cable length see Spare parts

and accessories, page 11.

Mounting the LSS-1 module

Preferably mount the LSS-1 module on a vertical surface

so that cables exit sideways. If that is not feasable,

create drip loops to prevent moisture entering the

connectors.

Fasten the LSS-1 by using the screws included with the

unit.

Secure cables and ensure to not put strain in the

connectors.

Wiring

Refer to the Wiring diagram on page 9.

Removing the transducer cable from the LSS-1

while the module is powered on can cause sparks.

Remove the transducer cable only after the module

has been disconnected from its power source.

Connecting the LSS-1 to your display

The LSS-1 connects to your display over an Ethernet

network, either directly or via an Ethernet network

switch.

Connecting the transducer

The StructureScan transducer connects to the LSS-1

with the cable supplied with the transducer.

8 | StructureScan LSS-1 Installation manual

On boats with large dead rise angle two

StructureScan transducers can be used.

They are connected to the LSS-1 by using

the optional Y cable.

Connect the transducers according to the

labeling on the Y-cable.

Power connection

The unit will turn on when power is applied.

It is recommended to connect the LSS-1 to NSE Power

control bus (A), and set NSE to power control master.

Alternatively the unit can be powered directly from the

vessel’s battery (B).
