Lowrance Elite-7 FAQ
What is HDI?
Hybrid Dual Imaging, or HDI, is the new sonar technology from Lowrance. HDI combines
the BroadBand™ technology found in the traditional sonar of the HDS series with the DownScan
Imaging™ technology found in the Mark/Elite DSI series. This capability allows the user to have
unparalleled image definition and clarity in any water column.
What networking capabilities does Elite-7 have?
The Lowrance Elite-7 does come with a NMEA2000® port that can be found on the back
with the Power and Sonar connectors. Currently, the Elite-7 will allow for external GPS data
input and waypoint sharing via a NMEA2000® connection.
What are the transducer options for Elite-7?
The Elite-7 uses the same Lowrance Blue-connector transducer and power inputs that
are found on the current HDS line of products. This means the Elite-7 is compatible with any
Lowrance Blue-connector transducer, including Airmar. However, the HDI transducer is the only
one that contains both
traditional sonar and DownScan™
views. This means, that the user will
not have
DownScan Imaging™ when the Elite
-7 is connected to any other transducer other than
an HDI.
Because the HDI transducer utilizes the Lowrance Blue-connector it can also be plugged
into a Lowrance HDS Gen2 Touch
and provide traditional sonar along with DownScan™ Imaging
.
This makes it an ideal transducer for mounting to a trolling motor.
The HDI transducer is only compatible with the Elite-7 and HDS Gen2 Touch for
Down
Scan™. If plugged into an HDS Gen2 or Gen1, the unit will only yield traditional sonar
images.
What is special about the HDI transducer?
The HDI transducer is capable of producing both a traditional sonar image and a
Lowrance DownScan Image™.
The HDI transducer comes in two frequency configurations, 83/200/455/800kHz and
50/200/455/800kHz. In both instances the 455/800kHz frequencies are what produce the
DownScan Image™ and either the 83/200kHz or 50/200kHz frequencies produce the traditional
sonar image.
