Page 5: Transducer Installation
Installation manual INTRODUCTION Purpose The purpose of this installation manual is the provide the basic information required to install the 50/200 Combi C echo sounder transducer. Note that although drawings are provided to explain the installation principles, the installation shipyard must provide the final drawings required to fit each individual vessel. -
Page 6: Installation
Simrad 50/200 Combi C Transducer INSTALLATION This chapter provides general installation guidelines for transducer installation. The following topics are described: • Transducer location • Mounting (different methods are shown when applicable) • Cable glands • Steel conduit for transducer cable •... -
Page 7: Transducer Location
Installation manual 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. Go deep The upper water layers of the sea contain a myriad of small air bubbles created by the breaking waves. -
Page 8: Boundary Water Layer
Simrad 50/200 Combi C Transducer Boundary water layer When the vessel forces its way through the sea, the friction between the hull and the water creates a boundary layer. The thickness of the boundary layer depends upon vessel speed and the roughness of the hull. -
Page 9: Propeller Noise
Installation manual Propeller noise The propulsion propeller is the dominant noise source on most fishing vessels, research vessels, merchant vessels and pleasure crafts. The noise is transmitted through the sea water. For this reason, the transducer should be placed far away from the propeller, which means on the fore part of the hull. -

Simrad 50/200 Combi C Transducer Summary and general recommendation 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... -
Page 11: External Mounting
Installation manual External mounting This transducer has a streamlined housing, and it is designed for installation outside the hull. This transducer is 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 12 Simrad 50/200 Combi C Transducer Steel hull A fairing (A), made by the shipyard, is placed between the transducer and the hull. It is required in order to adapt for the deadrise angle of the hull, and it will also house a cable service loop (B).

Page 16: Cable Glands
Simrad 50/200 Combi C Transducer Cable glands The transducer cable must pass through the hull using approved cable glands for the type of vessel in question. A steel cable gland is normally used on professional vessels with steel hulls. A bronze cable gland can be delivered as an option for vessels with wood or fibreglass construction. - Page 17 Installation manual Cable gland installation for steel hulls This cable gland kit is designed for steel vessels. It must be welded to the hull plates. (A) = Steel conduit (B) = Stuffing tube, DNV approved carbon steel st52.3 (C) = Washers, 24 x 8 x 2 mm (D) = Rubber gasket (E) = Packing nipple.

Page 20: Cable In Steel Conduit
Simrad 50/200 Combi C Transducer Cable in steel conduit It is strongly recommended to lay a steel conduit from the transducer’s cable gland to the echo sounder transceiver, and to pull the transducer cable through this conduit. There are two reasons for this. -
Page 21: Handling And Maintenance
Installation manual Handling and maintenance Do not lift the transducer by the cable. Some transducers are delivered with a cover plate on the face for protection during transport. Let this plate stay on as long as possible, but do not forget to remove it before the vessel goes into the sea. -
