1.2 Transducer (FCV-1500 only)
The performance of the color video sounder greatly depends on the transducer location. A
place least affected by air bubbles should be selected since turbulence interferes with
sounding. Also, select a place least influenced by engine noise. It is known that bubbles
are at a minimum, at normal cruising speed, at the location where the first bow wave falls
and the next wave rises. On small, low speed boats, the position between 1/3 and 1/2 of
ship's length from the bow is usually a good place. The face of the transducer must be
facing the sea bottom in normal cruising trim of the ship.
1.3 Optional Water Temperature Sensors
Transom mount water temperature sensor T-02MTB
Select a suitable mounting location considering the following:
• Fix the cable at a convenient location with a cable clamp.
• When the cable is to be led in through the transom board, make a hole of approx. 17
mm in diameter to pass the connector. After passing the cable through the hole, fill the
hole with a suitable sealing compound.
