however, the transducer is more prone to relative movement with respect to
the vessel. Care must be taken that the transducer does not spin as the
internal compass, pitch and roll sensors have a limited dynamic response.
Ensure that when deployed the transducer is below the draft of the vessel by
at least 1 metre and has clear horizontal visibility throughout 360°.
Note: the suspended over the side method cannot be used if the compass is not enabled, as the
system would have no orientation reference. Also, if GPS positioning is required, the antenna must be
directly over the transducer, otherwise offset errors can occur.

similar, clamp the pole to the recessed part of the transducer. Ensure the
transducer is aft of the pole and that the pole does not protrude beyond the
face of the transducer. The diameter of the pole will depend on the length
required and the anticipated maximum speed of the ship. It is recommended
that the pole be secured by cables fore and aft to prevent bending and
strumming when the ship is underway.
Please do not use the threaded holes at the top of the transducer for mounting, they are used during
manufacturing.
Ensure that when deployed the transducer is at least 1 metre below the draft of the
vessel and that it has clear horizontal visibility through 360°. Ensure the alignment
mark on the transducer is inline (forward) with the forward / aft line of the vessel.
Extreme care has to be taken in shallow water that the transducer does not strike
