    1.2 Installation of Antenna Unit Refer to the antenna unit outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounting instructions. When selecting a mounting location consider the following points: Select a location out of the radar and Inmarsat beams. Those beams will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.

  • Page 12: Installation Of Transducer

    1.3 Installation of Transducer Inside-hull mounting The thru-hull mount transducer (520-5PSD, 520-5MSD) may also be installed inside the hull, following the procedure below. Necessary tools You will need the following tools: Sandpaper (#100) Marine sealant Remarks on installation Turn off the engine and anchor the boat while installing the equipment. Install the transducer in the engine room.
  • Page 13 Attaching the transducer 1. Clean the transducer face to remove any foreign material. Lightly roughen the transducer face with #100 sandpaper. Also, roughen the inside of the hull where the transducer is to be mounted. 2. Warm the marine sealant to 40°C before usage to soften it. Coat the transducer face and mounting location with marine sealant.

  • Page 17 Procedure for installing the thru-hull mount transducer 1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location chosen for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull. 2. If the hull is not level within 15° in any direction, fairing blocks made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face parallel with the water line.

  • Page 18: Transom Mount Transducer

    Transom mount transducer The transom mount transducer (520-5PWD) is very commonly employed, usually on relatively small inboard/outboard or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor boat because turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer. There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls) and projecting from hull (for deep V-hulls).
  • Page 19 Installing the transom mount transducer on a deep-V hull This method is employed on deep-V hulls and provides good performance because the effects of air bubbles are minimal. Install the transducer parallel with water surface; not flush with hull. If the boat is placed on a trailer care must be taken not to damage the transducer when the boat is hauled out of the water and put on the trailer.
  • Page 20 Triducer 525STID-MSD The optional triducer 525STID-MSD is designed for thru-hull mounting. For how to install this transducer see paragraph 4.2. φ79 mm 133 mm 2.00"-12 UN threads 7 mm φ51 mm 27 mm 140 mm Triducer 525STID-MSD 525STID-PWD ® The Transom Mount Transducer or TRIDUCER Multisensor with Integral Release Bracket 525STID-PWD is manufactured by AIRMAR Co.

Mounting location To ensure the best performance, the sensor must be submerged in aeration-free and turbulence-free water.
  • Page 22 Installation of bracket 1. Cut out the installation template shown below. 2. At the selected location, position the template, so the arrow at the bottom is aligned with the bottom edge of the transom. Being sure the template is parallel to the waterline, tape it in place.
  • Page 23 5. Using the two #10 x 1-1/4” self-tapping screws, temporarily screw the bracket to the hull. DO NOT tighten the screws completely at this time. Follow the step 1-4 in “Attaching the Sensor to the Bracket”, before proceeding with “Adjusting”. Adjusting 1.
