Pre-Installation Test; Testing The Transducer; Multiple Transducers - Raymarine REALVISION 3D RV-3 Series Installation Instructions Manual

3.2 Pre-installation test

Testing the transducer

Transducer operation should be checked before installation.
1. Connect the transducer to the transducer connection of a RealVision™ 3D sonar-capable device
(e.g. Axiom RV multifunction display).
2. Fully submerge the transducer in water.
3. Power up the RealVision™ 3D sonar-capable device, and / or multifunction display.
4. Open a Fishfinder (Sonar) application on your multifunction display.
5. If required, select the relevant transducer / channel from the Channel selection page (Menu >
Channel).
6. Check that accurate depth and temperature readings are displayed.
7. If you experience difficulties obtaining readings then contact Raymarine Technical Support.
Warning: Transducer operation
Only test and operate the transducer in the water. Do NOT operate out of water
as overheating may occur.
Caution: Transducer cable
• Do NOT use the transducer cable to lift or suspend the transducer; always
support the transducer body directly during installation.
• Do NOT cut, shorten, or splice the transducer cable.
• Do NOT remove the connector.
If the cable is cut, it cannot be repaired. Cutting the cable will also void the
warranty.

Multiple transducers

Note: If you are installing a split-pair of transducers (for example, an RV-212P unit with an RV-212S
unit, or an RV-320P unit with an RV-320S unit), ensure that you test both transducers together by
connecting them to the RealVision™ 3D sonar-capable device (e.g. multifunction display) using a
Y-cable and extension cable.
Refer to the colored "Port" and "Starboard" labels on the cables to ensure that you connect the
transducer cables to the correct Y-cable tails.
