INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Lowrance product. This manual covers both the LCX-15CI and LCX-15CT. The liquid crystal display (LCD) is the only difference between these two units. The LCX-15CI and LCX-15CT are sold with many different accessories. Some are packed with a GPS receiver, MMC, and mapping CD-ROM. Others are sold only with a transducer. Many may come with different combinations of accessories. Please note that you may need to purchase accessories in order to use all of the f

Power Connections This unit operates from a 12-volt battery system. For the best results, connect the power cable to the in-line fuse holder and attach it directly to the battery. The power cable can be attached to an accessory or power buss, however there could be problems with electrical interference using this method. Therefore, it’s better from a noise standpoint to attach the power cable and fuse holder directly to a battery. If the cable is not long enough, splice 16-gauge wire onto it. Th

To prevent electrical interference, route the power, transducer, and GPS cables away from other wiring, especially the engine’s wiring harness. VHF radio antenna cables radiate noise when transmitting, so be certain to keep the unit’s wires away from it, also. NMEA/DGPS NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electronic equip- ment. For example, an autopilot can connect to the NMEA interface on the LCX-15CI/15CT and receive positioning information. DGPS is an acronym for Differential

ORANGE (RECEIVE) NMEA TRANSMIT COM-1 FROM GPS SHIELD (GROUND) GROUND LCX-15CI/ RECEIVER 15CT The LCX-15CI/15CT can accept position information from any GPS receiver that transmits NMEA 0183 data. Use the wiring diagram shown above for NMEA input to the LCX-15CI/15CT. See page 25 and 26 for NMEA and DGPS com port setup instructions. Accessory Connections The rear of this unit has three connectors: Power/Data, GPS, and Trans- ducer. The power cable connects to the Power/Data connector, the cable f

MMC This unit can use up to two MMC (MultiMediaCard) cartridges. They store the maps, waypoint and route information, sonar data, and more. To install a MMC cartridge, twist the drawer retainer counter-clockwise and pull. The drawer will come out of the unit. Place the MMC cartridge FACE DOWN. (see above) Slide the drawer back into the unit and twist the retainer clockwise. The MMC is now ready for use. For more information on saving and recalling sonar data to the MMC, see page 68.

Split Zoom Sonar Chart A split chart shows the underwa- ter world from the surface to the bottom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged version of the right side. The zoom range shows at the bottom left corner of the screen. In this example, the zoom range is 2X, or two times the right side’s view. Split Frequency Sonar Chart This chart shows sonar data from the 50 kHz transducer element (if equipped) on the left side of the screen, and data from the 200 kHz transducer

SONAR OPTIONS Sensitivity The sensitivity controls the ability of the unit to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals, and other target information. High sensitivity levels let you see this detail, but it can also clutter the screen with many undesired signals. Typically, the best sensitivity level shows a good solid bottom signal with Grayline and some surface clutter. The sensitivity is adjusted to keep a solid bottom signal displayed, plus

select “Auto Sensitivity” and press the ENT key. To turn it off, repeat the above steps. Press the EXIT key to erase the menu. COLORLINE Colorline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It “paints” gray on targets that are stronger than a preset value. This allows you to tell the difference between a hard and soft bottom. For example, a soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which is shown with a narrow, lighter colored colorline. A hard bottom returns a strong signal
