Thank you for purchasing a Lowrance product! You won't find another combination GPS and sonar unit with these features and power for the money! Each of our products is designed and manufactured to precision tolerances for long life under extreme conditions. We hope that you'll en- joy this product for years. This manual covers both the Lowrance LMS-160 and GlobalMap 1600. Both have 12-channel GPS receivers, however, the LMS-160 also has a sonar built into the unit. The installation of these two

Power Connections - All Units This unit works from a twelve-volt battery system. For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problems with electrical interference. Therefore, it’s safer to go ahead and attach the power cable directly to the battery. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The power cable has two wires, red and black. Red is the positive lead, black

If possible, route the unit’s power cable and transducer cable away from other wiring. VHF radio antenna cables radiate noise when transmitting, so be certain to keep the sonar’s wires away from it. You may need to route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery to isolate it from other wiring on the boat.

GPS Antenna Installation - All Units The antenna can be mounted on any flat surface, provided you have ac- cess behind the surface for the mounting screws. A magnet is also sup- plied that can be epoxied to the bottom of the antenna. A pole mount adapter lets you mount the antenna on a pole or swivel mount that uses standard 1" - 14 threads. The antenna has 25 feet of cable. Do not cut or splice this cable. Surface Mount The antenna can be easily installed on any flat surface that is at least 90

Magnet Mount A magnet lets you temporarily mount the an- tenna on any ferrous metal surface. (such as a car) To use the magnet, simply epoxy it to the bottom of the antenna, using the epoxy sup- plied with your antenna. Carefully follow the in- structions on the epoxy package and apply it to the magnet. Then carefully press the mag- net to the bottom of the antenna housing. After MAGNET the epoxy cures (in about 30 minutes), the an- tenna is ready for use. Pole Mount The antenna attaches to the

Read this section carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Remember, the transducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installation. Location - General 1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow of water at all times. If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference will show on the sonar’s display in the form of ran- dom lines or dots whenever the boat is moving.

Transducer Assembly and Mounting The best way to install this transducer is to loosely assemble all of the parts first, then place the transducer’s bracket against the transom and see if you can move the transducer so that it’s parallel with the ground. 1. Press the two small plastic ratchets into the sides of the metal bracket as shown below. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet. Place each ratchet into the bracket with the letter “A” aligned with the dot stamped into the metal bra

3. Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown below. Don’t tighten the lock nut at this time. METAL WASHER NUT RUBBER METAL WASHERS WASHER BOLT 4. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. The transducer should be roughly parallel to the ground. The bottom of the transducer bracket should be in line with the bottom of the hull. Don’t let the bracket extend below the hull! Mark the center of the slots for the mounting holes. Dril

6. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. If possible, route the trans- ducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from the engine’s wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio wires and cables, and aera- tors can be picked up by the sonar. Use caution when routing the trans- ducer cable around these wires. IMPORTANT! Clamp the transducer cable to the transom close to the transducer. This can prevent the transducer from entering the boat if it is knocked off at high speed. 7. Mak

to calculate a position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information. Therefore, in order for it to determine direction of travel, you must be moving and the faster, the better. This is not to say that it won’t work at trolling speeds - it will. There will simply be more “wandering” of the data shown on the display. Another factor that greatly influences the receiver’s ability to determine position is SA.

GPS OPERATION There are 12 keys on the keyboard. You can navigate through the menus, adjust the chart’s cursor, and enter data using the arrow keys. The five major modes of operation are accessed using the PAGES key. Press the MENU key to select or adjust a feature from a list. The Z-IN and Z-OUT keys zoom-in or zoom-out the view on the plotter screen. The ENT and EXIT keys are used to enter or clear data or screens. Save and edit waypoints using the WPT key. The PWR key turns the unit on and

To turn the unit on, simply press the PWR key. A GPS logo screen appears, then the screen simi- lar to the one at right appears. Read the mes- sage on the screen, then press the EXIT key to erase it or wait a few seconds and it automati- cally clears. The screen shown below appears next. This screen appears each time you turn the unit on. It shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in view. Each satellite is shown on the circu- lar chart relative to your position.

FINDING YOUR POSITION Auto Search To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know it’s current position, UTC time, and date. (Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equa- tion, but it’s rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then searches for only those satellites. When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it doesn’t know what your position or elevation (altitude) is. It does know th
