Making Connections; Realvision™ 3D Transducer Extension Cable; Testing And Adjusting The Transducer - Raymarine RV-100 RealVision 3D Installation Instructions Manual

As you pull the locking collar, it clicks into place over the split-ring. The locking collar stays in
position on the connector, but rotates freely.

Making connections

Follow the steps below to connect the cable(s) to your product.
1. Ensure that the vessel's power supply is switched off.
2. Ensure that the device being connected to the unit has been installed in accordance with the
installation instructions supplied with that device.
3. Ensuring correct orientation, push the cable connector fully onto the corresponding connector
on the unit.
4. Turn the locking collar clockwise to secure the cable.
RealVision™ 3D transducer extension cable
For best performance, cable runs should be kept to a minimum. However, for some installations it
may be necessary to extend the transducer cable.
• 3 m (9.8 ft), 5 m (16.4 ft), and 8 m (26.2 ft) transducer extension cables are available (part numbers:
3 m - A80475, 5 m - A80476, 8 m - A80477).
• It is recommended that a maximum of two cable extensions are used, with the total cable length
not exceeding 18 m.

Testing and adjusting the transducer

Once the initial mounting procedures have been carried out, the transducer must be tested prior to
finishing the mounting.
The testing should be carried out with your vessel in the water, with a depth greater than 0.7 m (2.3
ft) but less than the maximum depth range of the transducer.
1. Open the Sonar application on your display, and select the Sonar channel.
After a few seconds the bottom should be visible onscreen and a depth reading displayed.
2. Start moving your vessel at a low speed, ensuring you have a depth reading and a clear image is
displayed.
3. Gradually increase the vessel speed whilst checking the display, if the image becomes poor or
the bottom is missing at lower speeds then the transducer needs to be adjusted.
