Depth Transducer; Transducer Mounting - ohmex SONARMITE v3.0 Manual

DEPTH TRANSDUCER

The SonarMite system uses a „boat‟ shaped transducer in a „knock off‟ fitting for
fixing to the transom of a light boat or more commonly in a temporary mounting
using a survey detail pole.
Hydrodynamic shape provides vertical sound beam orientation on hull

deadrise angles up to 30
Reversible wedge allows mounting to transom angles from 2 to 22

Integral release bracket protects against impact damage, mounts with 3 screws,

and provides 12 mm of vertical adjustment
Chemical and impact resistant plastic housing

Designed to meet CE requirements

Shielded piezoceramic element for noise free echo sounder display

Standard cable length: 7.6 m (25‟)

Transducer Mounting

When mounting the transducers the following points should be taken into
consideration ...
How near to the Metacentre of the boat is the transducer

Is any turbulence generated around or in front of the transducer when moving

Is the turbulence from the propellers in the field of view of the transducer

The only important consideration in mounting is that the transducer is always in the
water and that the transducer does not represent an obstacle when the boat is used at
