    Transceiver Unit 1.2.1 General mounting considerations The mounting location should be well ventilated and dry. The unit can be mounted on bulkhead or the deck. Secure the maintenance space shown in drawing below for ease of maintenance and service. The maximum cable length between the transceiver unit and the raise/lower drive unit cable is 50 m.
  • Page 17 An obstacle in the fore direction not only causes a shadow zone but also aerated water, resulting in poor sonar performance. Be sure to locate the transducer well away from any obstacle in the fore direction. Mounting method A typical mounting method is shown in the outline drawing at the back of this manual.
  • Page 18 For small FRP ship For small FRP ship retraction tank should be 2 degrees against ship’s draft. Therefore, this creates high water pressure in the tank because of the resistance at the rear of the tank well. To solve this problem, attach a fin to the hull at the location shown in figure below. This fin makes a smooth stream in the retraction dome.

    Interface Unit For the blackbox type, the interface unit is shipped as standard. 1.4.1 General mounting considerations The mounting location should be well ventilated and dry, avoiding splay or rain. The unit can be mounted on a bulkhead or the deck. Secure the maintenance space shown in drawing below for ease of maintenance and service.

  • Page 32: Motion Sensor Ms-100 (Option)

    Motion Sensor MS-100 (option) The MS-100 measures ship’s pitching and rolling angles with sensor using the principles of the gyroscope. The MS-100 is free from error caused by ship’s vertical and horizontal motion. Therefore, it can be installed at any convenient location. However, ship’s semi-permanent inclination due to loading imbalance cannot be detected.

  • Page 33: Wiring

    The raise/lower drive motor and breaker are different depending on ship’s mains. Install the main switch for the sonar where it can be easily accessed. Turn off this switch when the sonar is not being used, to reduce power consumption and to prevent the transducer from slipping by vibration.
