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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.

Transducer installation Hull Figure 10 Retractable unit hull unit with transducer Keel Transducer 857-164688 / E...
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.
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.
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.
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.

Unless otherwise stated in the accompanying documentation, electronic, electro-mechanical and mechanical units supplied by Kongsberg Maritime can be transported using all methods approved for delicate equipment; (by road, rail, air or sea). The units are to be transported in accordance with general or specific instructions for the appropriate unit(s), using pallets, transport cases, or carton boxes as appropriate.
Appendices Lifting A heavy crate will normally be marked with its weight, and the weights of other cartons or crates will normally be entered on the packing list. • Always check the weight of a crate before attempting to lift •...
Page 148
EA 600 / Base version The crates must not be placed on top of each other, unless specific markings permit this. The crates must not be placed directly on a dirt-floor. Do not open the crate for inspection unless special circumstances permit so.
• If any units are damaged, prepare an inspection report stating the condition of the unit and actions taken. Describe the damage and collect photographic evidence if possible. Send the inspection report to Kongsberg Maritime as soon as possible. • If the units are not damaged, check the humidity absorbing material.
Page 150
EA 600 / Base version General unpacking procedure Normal precautions for the handling, transportation and storage of fragile electronic equipment must be undertaken. Note If the unit is not to be prepared for immediate use, you may consider storing it unopened in its original packing material.
Page 151
Appendices Electronic and electro-mechanical units Caution Beware of the dangers of Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) both to yourself and to the equipment, when handling electronic units and components. Refer to the precautions starting on page 145. Electronic and electro-mechanical units will normally be wrapped in a clear plastic bag.
EA 600 / Base version Re-packing If the unit is not to be installed immediately, re-pack it in its original packing material to prevent damage in the intervening period. → Refer to the information on page 144. Storage Pre-installation storage The equipment should be stored in its original transportation crate until ready for installation.
Page 153
Appendices Cleaning cabinets If a cabinet has been exposed to salt atmosphere while it was in use, it must be thoroughly cleaned both internally and externally to prevent corrosion. • Wipe the cabinet externally using a damp cloth and a little detergent.
Cables Wipe clean all exposed cables, and check for damage. If a cable shows signs of wear or ageing, contact Kongsberg Maritime for advice. Internal batteries If the unit contains batteries, these may discharge slowly during storage.
Appendices • Small units must be protected from damp by being placed within a plastic bag at least 0.15 mm thick. An appropriate quantity of desiccant material should be placed inside this bag, and the bag sealed. The sealed unit must then be placed in an appropriate carton or crate, and supported in the container by appropriate shock-absorbing insulation (polystyrene foam chips etc.).
EA 600 / Base version Caution If, for any reason, it is necessary to move the circuit board or components from the conductive service mat, they must be placed in an approved anti-static transportation container (e.g. static shielding bag) before transportation.
Appendices Basic cabling requirements Cable trays All permanently installed cables associated with the system must be supported and protected along their entire lengths using conduits and/or cable trays. The only exception to this rule is over the final short distance (max. 0.5 metre) as the cables run into the cabinets/units to which they are connected.
Page 158
EA 600 / Base version Radio Frequency interference All cables that are to be permanently installed within 9 m (30 ft) of any source of Radio Frequency (RF) interference such as a transmitter aerial system or radio transmitters, must, unless shielded by a metal deck or bulkhead, be adequately screened by sheathing, braiding or other suitable material.
Page 159
Appendices Cable connections All cable connections are shown on the applicable cable plan and interconnection diagrams. Where the cable plan shows cable connections outside an equipment box outline, the connections are to be made to a plug or socket which matches the plug or socket on that particular item of equipment.
There are many different types of cable gland on the market. This procedure describes the types used (now and previously) as standard in the units manufactured by Kongsberg Maritime. The cable glands are not supplied with the system. Even though the cabinets from Kongsberg Maritime may be prepared for specific types, the installation shipyard will be responsible for selecting cable gland types and installing them.
Appendices Depending on whether the cable has already been installed in conduits, either. a (installed) measure the maximum length of cable required to reach from the final cable clip outside the cabinet to the terminal blocks inside the cabinet, add 20 cm, then remove the excess cable, b (loose cable) measure the maximum length of wire required to reach from the cable gland to the terminal...
EA 600 / Base version Multi-diameter modules Multi-diameter cable glands are now available from several sources, and these types are becoming increasingly popular due to ease of use. Only a brief description of the system will be presented here, further information with technical specifications and installation descriptions must be obtained from the manufacturer(s).
Page 163
Appendices Figure 36 Multi-diameter system - general procedure Once the cables are through, each cable is secured with a square module, which is adjusted to fit the cable’s outer diameter. When the required number of modules are installed, the assembly is tightened with a compression unit. This system is available with a large number of various modules and compression units, and it will also comply with screening and EMC requirements.
EA 600 / Base version Standard type Ensure that all the cables to be connected are completely isolated from any power sources. - Switch off and remove the supply fuses from any units or systems into which the cables are already connected.
Page 165
Appendices Note The cable’s outer insulation will extend into the cable gland to a point approximately 5 mm outside the outer surface of the cabinet wall into which the cable gland is secured. Take care not to damage the screening, carefully remove the outer insulation from the required cable length.
EA 600 / Base version Once all the system cables are connected and checked: Take the appropriate safety measures, then replace the fuses and apply power to the system. Perform a system test to ensure the installation has been conducted successfully.
