  • Page 40: Transducer Installation

    EA 600 / Base version 3 TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION Transducer location General A single answer to the question where to locate the transducer cannot be given. It depends very much on the vessel’s construction. However, there are some important guide lines.

  • Page 41: Propeller Noise

    Transducer installation layer is thin underneath the forward part of the vessel, and increases in thickness as it moves towards aft. If the sides of the hull are steep, some of the air bubbles in the boundary layer may escape to the sea surface along the vessel sides. It is our experience that a wide and flat bottom, with a rising angle less than around 13 degrees, is prone to giving air problems for the transducer.

  • Page 42: Vessel Heave

    EA 600 / Base version Bow thruster propellers are awful machines. When they are in operation, the noise and cavitation bubbles make the echo sounder useless, almost no matter where the transducer is installed. And when not in operation, the tunnel creates...

  • Page 43: Summary

    Transducer installation Summary Some of the above guide lines are conflicting, and each case has to be treated individually in order to find the best compromise. Generally the propeller noise is the dominant factor, and a recommended transducer location is in the fore part of the hull, with maximum distance from the bow equal to one third of the total length of the hull at the water line.

  • Page 44: Ways Of Mounting The Transducer

    EA 600 / Base version Ways of mounting the transducer Inclination of the transducer face Incline the transducer face approximately 2 degrees, so that the flowing water meets it directly. This assures laminar water flow. Mounting screws should not be extruding from the transducer, and the space around the screws could be filled with a compound or a locking ring.
  • Page 45 Transducer installation Figure 5 External mounting on wood or polyester hulls These transducers are mainly used on smaller vessels. A location approximately 0.5 m aside from the keel may be adequate for the passage of water between the keel and the transducer.

  • Page 46: Transducer Blister

    EA 600 / Base version Transducer blister Other transducers are designed for installation into the hull or in a blister. In general, a blister installation is the recommended method. It brings the transducer below the boundary layer. A blister is illustrated below.
  • Page 47 Transducer installation Large diameter transducers must be fitted with a horizontal support bar. This bar can then be secured to the mounting ring using threaded rods. → Refer to figure 6. The transducer cable penetrates the hull in a stuffing tube. Leave an adequate loop of the cable behind the transducer for easy mounting or removal of the transducer.

  • Page 48: In A Box Keel

    EA 600 / Base version In a box keel Vessels with a box keel may use this for transducer installation. The box keel is already the deepest part of the vessel. If the box keel is too narrow to accommodate the transducer, it can be widened, either symmetrically or to one side only.

  • Page 50: Centre Board

    EA 600 / Base version Centre board The use of a centre board with the purpose of stabilising the vessel is well known. A centre board is also a superior platform for transducers. Such instrument keels have been built, mainly on research vessels, with a length of 3 m, protruding also 3 m below the hull, see the figure below.

  • Page 51: Flush Mounting In A Steel Tank

    Transducer installation Flush mounting in a steel tank Flush mounting is used on very large vessels with a hull so deep that no air bubbles are found below the hull, and on vessels operating in shallow harbours or waters, where a protruding blister can not be accepted.

  • Page 52: Behind A Protective Acoustic Window

    Vessels operating in arctic waters need special attention on transducer installation. Floating blocks of ice may damage even a flush mounted transducer face. For this situation Kongsberg Maritime offers ‘’arctic tanks’’ in different sizes. The transducer shown in the figure below is mounted inside the tank behind a strong acoustic window which could be made of polycarbonate.

  • Page 53: Inside The Hull

    The loss varies with the distance between transducer face and the hull. The best result is obtained when the distance is half a wavelength. Consult Kongsberg Maritime for advice. In addition to the loss, the beam pattern is degraded, because a larger area of the hull is set into vibrations.
  • Page 54 EA 600 / Base version Echo Figure 15 Example sounder steel tube arrangement Steel tube Stuffing tube Rubber gasket Washers Packing nipple (CD1995) The tube should be unbroken and watertight from the transducer to above the water line. From there, openings or a junction box can be installed to facilitate drawing of the cable, or to add a cable extension.
  • Page 55 Transducer installation Most Kongsberg Maritime transducers are delivered with 20 m cable. Excess cable can be cut off, or an extension cable can be added. This is possible because all Kongsberg Maritime transducers have a built-in transformer for tuning and matching to the cable impedance of 75 Ohms.
