  • Page 11 5. Position the transducer hanger so that the bottom face of the transducer will be parallel with the waterline and tighten the mounting bolt until the hanger is held firmly in place. The transducer position will be adjusted further during testing. Note: Do not adjust the M5 screw located on top of the transducer hanger.
  • Page 12: Cable Routing

    Cable routing Cable routing requirements for the transducer cable. Important: To avoid interference, the cable must be routed as far away from VHF radio antenna cables as possible. Important: The transducer cable’s connector is supplied with a separate locking collar assembly, used to secure the cable firmly to your multifunction display.
  • Page 13: Mounting The Escutcheon Plate

    Mounting the escutcheon plate Your RV-100 transducer is supplied with an escutcheon plate. If you have chosen to route the transducer cable through the transom or through a bulkhead, you can use the escutcheon plate to cover the hole required to accommodate the cable. The plate is designed to fit over a 25 mm (1 inch) diameter hole.
  • Page 14: Attaching The Connector Locking Collar

    Attaching the connector locking collar The transducer cable’s connector is supplied with a separate locking collar assembly, used to secure the cable firmly to your multifunction display. This procedure describes how to attach the locking collar to the connector. The locking collar parts are supplied in a separate bag, in the box with your transducer.
  • Page 15 The split-ring slides easily for approximately 1 cm onto the connector, before butting up against the connector moulding. 3. Carefully insert the pointed end of the supplied tool into the split-ring’s gap (labelled ‘C’ in the illustration).
  • Page 16 The tool widens the gap in the split ring, enabling the split ring to be pushed further back onto the connector in the following step. Important: Always use the supplied tool when attaching the split ring. The split ring may become overstretched and break if you try to attach it without using the tool.
  • Page 17 6. Slide the locking collar towards the plug-end of the connector, rotating the collar as necessary to ensure that the lugs on the locking collar (labelled ‘D’ in the illustration) pass through the channels (labelled ‘E’) in the split-ring.
  • Page 18 The locking collar slides easily towards the plug-end of the connector, before butting up against the split-ring moulding. 7. Grasp the body of the connector with one hand, then with the other hand, pull the locking collar firmly towards the plug-end of the connector.
  • Page 19: Making Connections

    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.
  • Page 20 4. Angle and height adjustments should be made in small increments and re-tested each time until you obtain optimum performance. For best performance, you should ensure that the bottom half of the transducer assembly is positioned so that it is lower than the lowest point of the hull in the vicinity of the transducer. In the following illustrations, the dashed line indicates the lowest point of the hull in the vicinity of the transducer.
  • Page 21: Finalizing The Transducer Mounting

    Finalizing the transducer mounting Once you have achieved optimum performance at the desired vessel speeds the transducer must be locked into position to complete the installation. 1. Drill the locking hole location taking care not to damage the mounting bracket. 2.
