3. TRANSDUCER WARNING WHEN PLUGGING IN OR UNPLUGGING A TRANSDUCER TO THE FF525 MAKE SURE POWER IS TURNED OFF. The transducer is a device that transmits and receives sound waves into the water. The active component inside the transducer is commonly referred to as an element but actually is a piezoelectric ceramic material.
3.0.2 Transducer Types Since there are many different shapes and sizes of hulls, STANDARD HORIZON offers a range of Depth transducers to fit the vessels requirements. 3.0.3 Low Profile Thru-Hull If the user is planning to mount a thru-hull transducer first he has to know the dead rise angle where the transducer will be located on the boat.
3.0.8 Fish Finder Basics The FF525 consists of a high power transmitter, sensitive receiver and a transducer. The FF525 sends an electrical pulse to the transducer, which contains an element that converts the pulse into acoustic (sound) waves, which is sent through the water. As this wave travels from the transducer to the bottom, it may strike fish, structures, thermoclines (temperature changes in the water).
