Simrad ES120-7CD Installation manual This document provides a general description of how to install the Simrad ES120-7CD Split-beam transducer. The information must be regarded as general guidelines and recommendations only. The installation shipyard must design and manufacture installation hardware to fit the ES120-7CD transducer on each individual towed body.
Whenever required, the installation shipyard must also have the installation approved by the applicable maritime authorities. Additional information For additional detailed information about the transducer to be installed, refer to the documentation provided with the transducer. Drawings and descriptions can also be obtained from http://www.simrad.com. 339149/A...
ES120-7CD transducer are located in the Drawing file on page 18. Technical specifications Refer to the ES120-7CD product specification. Additional parts provided for installation The following items can be supplied by Simrad to facilitate installation: • Mounting ring: ES1–204719 • Clamping ring: ES1–203672...
TOWED BODY DESIGN A towed body used to hold the transducer is not provided by Simrad. The design and manufacturing of such a body must be made by your own organisation, or by a third party you wish to engage to do this. During the design phase, the following considerations must be made.

Simrad ES120-7CD the sound energy, and may in worst cases block the sound transmission totally. Therefore, design the towed body so that it can operate in deep water. Caution Observe the maximum operational depth of the transducer. Do not exceed this limitation.
How to install the transducer HOW TO INSTALL THE TRANSDUCER Installation on a towed body Transducers designed to withstand large water pressure are provided for use in towed bodies. The recommended installation method is through the hull plating hull using mounting and clamping rings.
Simrad ES120-7CD Example 1: Small transducer The illustration below shows the installation principle of a small circular transducer using clamping and mounting rings. Figure 2 Installation principle, small transducer Mounting ring Hull plating on towed body Transducer Clamping ring Bolt...
How to install the transducer Example 2: Medium and large transducers The illustration below shows the installation principle of a medium or large transducers. Note that a clamping ring is not required, as the transducer body is shaped to facilitate this function.
Simrad ES120-7CD Example 3: Dual transducer arrangement The illustration below shows a typical through the hull installation of small and large circular transducers on a towed body.

Transducer handling and maintenance Introduction to Emuge self-locking threads is a tap design with an integrated locking feature. Emuge self-lock Standard metric bolts are used. The internal thread provides a self-locking connection, which can be used repeatedly. It is not necessary to involve a secondary locking device (e.g.
Simrad ES120-7CD • Economically efficient locking system, no additional components are necessary • Undiminished holding power even under dynamic stress • Repeated loosening and re-tightening without loss of function • Internal threads can be produced with taps, cold Emuge forming taps or thread mills •...
