Simrad ES38-18/200–18C Installation manual
Mounting the transducer on a steel hull
When all the preparations have been made, observe this procedure for the mounting of the
ES38-18/200–18C transducer. If required, additional - and more detailed - procedures must
be provided by the installation shipyard.
Prerequisites
• The physical location of the transducer has been defined.
• The steel conduit has been installed.
• A suitable fairing has been designed and mounted.
Note
Whenever relevant, all drawings as well as the physical installation of each device have
been approved by the vessel's national registry and corresponding maritime authority
and/or classification society.
The following special tools are required for mounting:
• Torque wrench for the mounting bolts.
• Loctite 270 (permanent high-strength threadlocker)
Context
It is very important that the fairing designed for the installation supports the full length of
the transducer body. Inadequate support will put the transducer at risk in heavy seas.
The force of the water when the hull falls down may push the transducer up, and may cause
damage both to the transducer and to its mounting.
Note
Kongsberg Maritime AS takes no responsibility for any damages to the transducer, the cable
or the mounting arrangement, caused by slamming.
