Page 18: Important
When the SH90 is not used To protect the SH90 when it is not in use, we strongly advice you to hoist the transducer, even though you may not switch off the power. In narrow or shallow waters this is very important, since you may - in worst case - run the transducer into the bottom.
Page 19: Manual Operation Of The Hull Unit
Therefore, before you start the manual operation, read carefully through the relevant procedure(s). You will then familiarize yourself with the methods and the safety requirements. Important The relevant procedures are located in the Simrad SH90 Operator Manual and in the Simrad SH90 Reference Manual. Transducer handling Note All transducers must be handled as delicate items.

Page 41: Determing The Location Of The Hull Unit
Preparations Determing the location of the hull unit Observe general recommendations related to the physical location of the hull unit. Topics • Fore and aft location on page 39 • Athwartships location on page 40 • Important considerations related to noise on page 40 Fore and aft location The hull unit should preferably be located within 1/3 to 1/10 of the vessel’s Length Between Perpendiculars (LBP) from its Forward Perpendicular (FP).
Page 42: Athwartships Location
The installation trunk must be installed so that it will remain vertical under normal operating conditions. The primary sources of underwater disturbance (other than a vessel’s main propeller and bow/stern thruster) that affect SH90 reception are: • Main or bilge keels •...
Page 43: Sonar Room Requirements
The “sonar room” is the compartment in which the Transceiver Unit, the Power Supply Unit and the hull unit are installed. Observe these minimum requirements to obtain suitable working conditions for Simrad SH90 installation, use and maintenance. It is strongly recommended to use a dedicated compartment to house the hull unit, the Transceiver Unit and the Power Supply Unit.
Page 44: Size And Access
The sonar room must be dimensioned to house all the relevant cabinets that comprise the Simrad SH90. The sonar room must not be used for any other machinery. The sonar room must not be unnecessarily obstructed by girders, pipes etc, which may cause installation problems or impede maintenance.
Page 45: Cable Protection
Preparations In the room, the air inlet must whenever possible be located close to the deck and the outlet as high as possible. A funnel shaped drip-collector must be mounted below the vent pipes to divert moisture to the bilge. On the main deck, the best ventilation is provided when the outlet pipe is at least four meters higher than the inlet pipe.

Page 53: Fishing Gear Noise
Preparations Precipitation noise The ambient noise is usually not a limiting factor to the performance of the sonar and echo sounders. In some areas, however, where many fishing vessels are operating together the engine and propeller noise from other vessels might be disturbing. Interference from hydroacoustic instruments located in other vessels may also be a limiting factor.
Page 54 Note The information here must be considered as general advice. Each SH90 installation must be handled separately depending on the hull design and the other electrical and mechanical systems installed.
Page 55 Use shielded cables with correct grounding is necessary. Separate SH90 cables from other cables with heavy currents or transients. Use a supply voltage without disturbances like transients from the supply itself, or from other equipment fed by the same supply.

Page 271: Inspection
Appendix B Equipment handling Inspection An inspection must be carried out immediately after the unit(s) have arrived at their destination. Check all wooden or cardboard boxes, plastic bags and pallets for physical damage. Look for signs of dropping, immersion in water or other mishandling. If damage is detected externally, you will have to open the packaging to check the contents.
Page 272: Unpacking Electronic And Electromechanical Units
Simrad SH90 Once the carton is open, carefully remove all loose packing and insulation material. Check for manuals and other documents that may have been added to the carton during packing, and put these to one side. Check also for special tools, door keys etc.
Page 273: Storage After Unpacking
Appendix B Equipment handling Storage after unpacking The unit must whenever possible be stored in its original transportation crate until ready for installation. The crate must not be used for any purpose for which it was not intended (eg. work platform etc.). Once unpacked, the equipment must be kept in a dry, non condensing atmosphere, free from corrosive agents and isolated from sources of vibration.
Page 274: Mechanical Units
Simrad SH90 Mechanical units If a mechanical unit may has been exposed to a salt atmosphere while it was in use, it must be thoroughly cleaned both internally and externally to prevent corrosion. If the construction materials and type of unit permits, wash the unit using a high-pressure hose and copious amounts of fresh water.
Page 275: Dehumidifier
Appendix B Equipment handling Dehumidifier Place a suitably sized bag of desiccant material (silica gel or similar) into the unit to keep the electronic components as dry as possible. Coatings Spray the unit externally with a corrosion inhibitor (e.g. a light oil) before packing. Re-packaging Whenever possible, the unit must be stored and transported in its original packing material and/or crate.
Page 276: Circuit Board Handling And Packaging
