Page 15: Rules For Transducer Handling
Cleaning and painting the transducer face During normal use, the transducer is subjected to biological fouling. If this marine growth is excessive, it will reduce the performance of the ES38DD. The transducer has not been designed with any protection against biological fouling. -
Page 16: Approved Anti-Fouling Paints
Because some paint types may be aggressive to the polyurethane in the transducer, consult our list of approved paints. The list can also be found on http://www.simrad.com. Observe the relevant instructions and safety information provided by the paint manufacturer. - Page 17 Apply 40 µm dry film thickness. – : Intersmooth 7465Si SPC Paint Apply 100 µm dry film thickness.

Page 18: Inspecting And Cleaning The Transducer Face
Context During normal use, the transducer is subjected to biological fouling. If this marine growth is excessive, it will reduce the performance of the ES38DD. Whenever opportunity arise, typically when the vessel is dry-docked, the transducer face must be cleaned for shells and other marine growth. -
Page 19: Painting The Transducer Face
Painting the transducer face, page 17 Painting the transducer face Marine growth (biological fouling) on the transducer face reduces the ES38DD performance. We recommend that you paint the transducer face immediately after installation, and then again as often as required to maintain the protection. - Page 20 Simrad ES38DD Installation Manual • Wet film gauge • Airless spray Because some paint types may be aggressive to the polyurethane in the transducer, consult our list of approved paints. Context The transducer has not been designed with any protection against biological fouling.

Page 23: Installation On A Towed Body
Installing the transducer Installation on a towed body Transducers designed to withstand large water pressure are suited for use in towed bodies. A towed body used to hold the transducer is not provided by Kongsberg Maritime. Your organization is responsible for design and manufacture of such body. The recommended installation method is through the hull plating hull using mounting ring. -

Simrad ES38DD Installation Manual Installing the transducer The transducer can be flush mounted on large vessels, where the size of the hull prevents air bubbles from reaching down to the transducer face. Flush mounting can also be used on vessels operating in shallow harbours or waters, where a protruding blister can not be accepted. -

Page 29: Burton Underwater Connector
Cable layout and interconnections Burton underwater connector ES38DD transducer is fitted with only a short cable, and this is terminated in a female underwater connector. When the transducer is installed, the design of the subsea device must include a watertight junction box with the matched male panel socket. The transducer cable must then be fed from the junction box to the vessel or land station, or to a transceiver built into the subsea unit. - Page 30 Simrad ES38DD Installation Manual Pin configuration Pin on Sectors Pin on connector GPT connector 1 (+) 1 (-) 2 (+) 2 (-) 3 (+) 3 (-) 4 (+) 4 (-) It is very important that the transducer is correctly installed with the sectors positioned as shown in the illustration (seen from above).
