6.1 Location requirements The guidelines below should be followed when selecting a location for the transducer. Note: Optimum transducer location will vary depending on vessel type. Optimum transducer height and angle should be obtained by testing the transducer Note: The illustration above provides potential transducer locations for with the vessel in the water.
For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever possible: • Raymarine® equipment and cables connected to it are: – At least 1 m (3.3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g.

([Menu > All channels]). 7. Check that accurate depth and where applicable temperature readings are displayed. 8. If you experience difficulties obtaining readings then contact Raymarine Technical Support. The anti-fouling paint should be applied in a thin and even coat covering all externally exposed transducer surfaces.
• Only use Raymarine® transducer extension cables. 3. Drill 2 x holes for the adjustment slot screws as indicated on the template. Raymarine® offers he following optional extension cables are available: • RealVision™ transducer extension cable 3 m (9.8 ft) (part number A80475) •...

7.7 Finalizing the transducer mounting Angle adjustment After making any necessary adjustments to achieve optimum performance for your vessel, the transducer installation must be finalized by locking the transducer’s position. Note: After you apply marine grade sealant, always allow time for the sealant to fully cure before returning your vessel to the water.
7. Fully tighten the nut and bolt. You should clean your transducer regularly and re-apply anti-fouling paint every 6 months, or sooner depending on how rapidly organic growth builds Do not exceed a torque of 35 N·m (25.8 lbf·ft). The transducer should not be easily moveable by hand, and should remain in its normal operating For guidance on transducer cleaning refer to p.44 —...
