    TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION General Information 25.1 Each V8010 Color Echo Sounder is provided with one of the new 2528 ‘B&frequency transducer assemblies. The ‘Iii-frequency transducers oper- ate at 200,50, and 28Khz frequencies and are rated to 1Kw ofaverage power (8Kw peak).

    across the hull, boundary layer turbulence, and interference from other onboard echo sounders. While very little can be done to combat ambient noise, carefully selecting the transducer mounting location can help to minimize the influence of the “vessel generated” noise. Of course, the lower the acoustic noise level; the better the signal-to-noise ratio and the higher the echo sounder gain setting that can be used.
  • Page 31 Aerated water can blind an echo sounder by reflecting the ultrasonic energy. Water near the bow and water near the keel can become quite aerated. Aeration occurring near the transducer can be minimized by keeping the transducer mounted away from the keel, and by mounting the transducer in the after 2/3 of the vessel’s length midway between the keel and water line, if possible.

    To reduce drag, best results are obtained with sharp vertical leading edge fairings because their wedge shape helps to divert aerated water off to the sides of the transducer and not over the acoustic window. After the fairing block has been shaped to the deadrise of the hull, a 77 mm x 150 mm (3”~ 6’3 hole should be cut through the center of the fairing block to allow for cable routing and service loop, and to make room for the stuffing tube that leads the cable into the hull.

    The cable can be cut to the necessary length or extended as required. If extending the cable, use the same type of cable and conductors to complete the installation properly. 10.
