8. If you experience difficulties obtaining readings then contact Raymarine®
Technical Support.
Warning: Transducer operation
Only test and operate the transducer in the water. Do NOT
operate out of water as overheating may occur.
Caution: Transducer cable
• Do NOT use the transducer cable to lift or suspend the
transducer; always support the transducer body directly
during installation.
• Do NOT cut, shorten, or splice the transducer cable.
• Do NOT remove the connector.
If the cable is cut, it cannot be repaired. Cutting the cable will
also void the warranty.
Multiple transducers
Note:
If you are installing a split-pair of transducers, ensure that you test
both transducers together by connecting them to the RealVision™ 3D
sonar-capable device (i.e.: MFD or sonar module) using a Y-cable and
extension cable.
Refer to the colored "Port" and "Starboard" labels on the cables to ensure
that you connect the transducer cables to the correct Y-cable tails.

Installation
Warning: 2 person installation required
To prevent potential product damage, vessel damage and
personal injury 2-person installation is recommended.
Location requirements
Follow the guidelines below when selecting a location for your single
transducer or split-pair transducers.
For best performance, transducers should be installed in a location with the
least turbulence and aeration.
Important:
Do NOT install transducers in-line with trailer rollers, your vessel's engine
intake or discharge openings.
• Transducers should be installed as close to the center line of the vessel
as possible.
