  • Page 8 Mounting Desktop, overhead mounting 1. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (5x20). See the outline drawing on page D-1 for complete mounting dimensions. 2. Loosely screw the knob bolts into the display unit. 3. Set the display unit to the hanger and tighten the knob bolts. 4.
  • Page 9 Flush mounting If the thickness of the console is 11-14 mm, use the washer head screws (M4x20) supplied with the installation materials. If it is thicker than those dimensions, the length of the screws should be the thickness of the console plus 7.3 mm ± 1.5 mm. The length of the threaded portion to be inserted to the display unit should not exceed 7 mm (B 7).

  • Page 10: Antenna Unit

    Antenna Unit Refer to the antenna unit outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounting instructions. When selecting a mounting location consider the following points: • Select a location out of the radar and Inmarsat beams. Those beams will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.

  • Page 11: Transducer

    Transducer Inside-hull mounting The thru-hull mount transducer (520-5PSD, 520-5MSD) may also be installed inside the hull, fol- lowing the procedure below. Necessary tools You will need the following tools: • Sandpaper (#100) • Silicone sealant Remarks on installation • Turn off the engine and anchor the boat while installing the equipment. •...
  • Page 12 Attaching the transducer 1. Clean the transducer face to remove any foreign material. Lightly roughen the transducer face with #100 sandpaper. Also, roughen the inside of the hull where the transducer is to be mounted. 2. Warm the silicone sealant to 40°C before usage to soften it. Coat the transducer face and mounting location with silicone sealant.
  • Page 13 Thru-hull mounting Transducer mounting location The thru-hull mount transducer (520-5PSD, 520-5MSD) provides the best performance of all, since the transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbulence near the hull skin is reduced. When the boat has a keel, the transducer should be at least 30 cm away from it.
  • Page 14 Acceptable transducer mounting locations Suitable transducer mounting locations DEEP-V HULL Position 1/2 to 1/3 of the hull from stern. 15 to 30 cm off center line (inside first lifting strakes.) HIGH SPEED-V HULL Within the wetted bottom area Deadrise angle within 15°...
  • Page 15 Procedure for installing the thru-hull mount transducer 1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location chosen for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull. 2. If the hull is not level within 15° in any direction, fairing blocks made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face parallel with the water line.

  • Page 16: Transom Mount Transducer

    Transom mount transducer The transom mount transducer (525-5PWD) is very commonly employed, usually on relatively small inboard/outboard or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor boat be- cause turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer. There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls) and projecting from hull (for deep V-hulls).
  • Page 17 Installing the transom mount transducer on a deep-V hull This method is employed on deep-V hulls and provides good performance because the effects of air bubbles are minimal. Install the transducer parallel with water surface; not flush with hull. If the boat is placed on a trailer, care must be taken not to damage the transducer when the boat is hauled out of the water and put on the trailer.
  • Page 18 Optional triducer 525ST-MSD The optional triducer 525ST-MSD is designed for thru-hull mounting. For how to install it, see "th- ru-hull mounting” on page 7. 133 mm 525ST-PWD The Transom Mount Transducer or TRIDUCER 525ST-PWD is manufactured by AIRMAR Co. These instructions are included with the sensor. Pre-test for speed and temperature Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin the paddlewheel.

  • Page 20 Installation of bracket 1. Cut out the installation template shown below. 2. At the selected location, position the template, so the arrow at the bottom is aligned with the bottom edge of the transom. Being sure the template is parallel to the waterline, tape it in place.
  • Page 21 Adjusting 1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside of the sensor relative to the underside of the hull. The stern of the sensor should be 1-3 mm (1/16-1/8") below the bow of the sensor or parallel to the bottom of the hull. Note: Do not position the bow of the sensor lower than the stern because aeration will occur.
  • Page 22 5. Using the vertical adjustment space on the bracket slots, slide the sensor up or down to pro- vide a projection of 3 mm (1/8"). Tighten the screws. Vertical adjustment and cable routing Attaching the sensor to the bracket 1. If the retaining cover near the top of the bracket is closed, open it by depressing the latch and rotating the cover downward.
  • Page 23 4. Position the second cable clamp halfway between the first clamp and the cable hole. Mark this mounting hole. 5. If a hole has been drilled in the transom, open the appropriate slot in the transom cable cover. Position the cover over the cable where it enters the hull. Mark the two mounting holes. 6.
