Necessary information for the installation of each transducer can be found in the end-user
documentation provided with it.
Procedure
1
Determine the physical location of the transducer.
The decision must be based on:
• Vessel drawings
• Shape and properties of vessel hull
Make sure that all possible considerations are made to reduce noise.
2
Based on the shape of the transducer housing, and the mounting devices available,
determine the installation method.
3
Design, manufacture and mount the necessary fairing, installation blister, keel box
and/or tank that is required to mount the transducer.
4
Design, manufacture and mount the steel conduit for the transducer cable.
5
Unpack the transducer from its transport crate.
6
Position the transducer under the mounting location.
7
Pull the transducer cable up through the steel conduit.
8
Tighten the packing nipple on the cable gland properly to avoid leaks.
9
Mount the transducer.
10 Seal the top of the steel conduit to prevent water leaks.
11 Connect the transducer cable from the transducer to the transceiver.
12 If your vessel will operate in waters with a lot of marine growth, consider applying
a thin layer of anti-fouling paint to the transducer face.
Installing the transducer on a blister or drop
keel
When all the preparations have been made, the transducer is mounted. If required,
additional and more detailed procedures must be provided by the installation ship yard.
Prerequisites
• The physical location of the transducer has been determined.
• The steel conduits are installed.
• A suitable fairing is designed and mounted.
