Simrad EK80 Installation Manual
a Depending on the local requirements and preferences, the Wide Band
Transceiver (WBT) can be installed on the bulkhead, inside a console, in a
cabinet or 19" rack, or on a desk.
b The position must be chosen to fit the available cable lengths between the Wide
Band Transceiver (WBT) and the other units it connects to. Short distance to
the transducer is always first priority.
