Installation & Operation Instructions
The LST-3800 is a depth and temperature gauge that comes with a 200
kHz transducer, features deep and shallow alarms and has three main
page displays. It can show depth in Meters or Feet, temperature in Fahr-
enheit or Celsius and its display may be set to rotate between Tempera-
ture, Depth or Dual display pages. The unit fits in a standard 2-1/8" (54
mm) hole used by most marine equipment manufacturers

Caution: You should read over the entire installation section before drilling any holes in your vessel! You can install this gauge in some other order if you prefer, but we rec- ommend the installation sequence summarized below: 1.

Recommended Tools and Supplies Supplies are not included, unless otherwise indicated. If the dash does not have a standard 2-1/8" (54 mm) hole, you will need a drill or saw to make the hole. Carefully measure the dash thickness and the hole area before cutting or drilling. The buzzer installation requires two cable ties. If you need to extend any of the wires, use a minimum of 24-gauge wire and wire connectors of your choice. Wire nuts or electrical tape are re- quired to cap any unused bare wir

Caution: The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends — either by capping them with wire nuts or wrapping them with electrical tape. You should cut off the bare wire before taping off the ends. After connecting the power wires to the battery or switch, connect the power/transducer cable to the gauge's power cable (above). The unit won't be harmed if the power wires are connected backwards, but it won

Timeout There is no exit key in the LST 3800. The menus "time out" instead. That means they automatically close after a preset amount of time. When you install the gauge, the default timeout duration is 5 seconds. You can modify the TIMEOUT setting by pressing MENU and using the up and down keys to scroll through the main menu. When TIMEOUT appears in the cen- ter square — like the illustration below — press MENU. That will open the Timeout Menu, which has four settings: 3, 5, 7 and 10 seconds.
