    1. INSTALLATION How to Install the Sonar This sonar can be installed on a deck or on a bulkhead. When selecting a mounting location, keep the following points in mind: • Install the unit indoors. • The operating temperature range of this unit is -15°C to 55°C (-27°F to 99°F). Be sure the mounting location satisfies this requirement.

  • Page 13: Transducer

    1. INSTALLATION Transducer Thru-hull mount The installation position of the transducer directly affects the performance of the trans- ducer. For best performance, keep the following points in mind when selecting the mounting location. • Select a location where the influence of water flow and air bubbles is minimal. •...

  • Page 21: External Kp Cable

    NCW-1.25 000-157-213-10 Note: FURUNO recommends use of the JIS cable MPYC(SLA)-4 (or equivalent, see Appendix 1). However, if the wiring environment is such that the cable may contact seawater, use a cable whose armor is covered with a vinyl sheath to prevent corro- sion.
  • Page 22 2. WIRING e) Remove 5 mm of the vinyl sheath from the cores then connect a crimp-on lug to each core as shown below. Approx. 5 mm f) Attach supplied crimp-on lug (FV1.25-4(LF) RED)) to the shield. g) Referring to the illustration below, wrap the armor with vinyl tape at the loca- tions shown.

    2. WIRING LAN Cable Do as follows to connect the supplied LAN cable (MOD-Z072-050+) or the optional LAN cable (MOD-Z072-020+, MOD-Z072-100+). 1. Unfasten the sealing nut from the LAN connector then remove the sealing insert and clamping claw. 2. Detach the sealing insert from the clamping claw as shown below. How to detach clamping claw Hold the clamping claw/seal assy.
