For detailed information about the transducer to be installed, refer to the documentation provided with the transducer. Drawings and descriptions can also be downloaded from www.simrad.com. Topics Transducer location on page 110 Ways of mounting the transducer on page 114...
Page 113: Vessel Heave
Transducer Installation Not only will the sound transmission be blocked, but the transducer may be damaged by slamming against the sea surface. Another reason to go deep is cavitation in front of high power transducers. Cavitation is the formation of small bubbles in the water due to the resulting local pressure becoming negative during parts of the acoustic pressure cycles.
Page 114: Propeller Noise
Simrad ES60 (CD17004P) Boundary water layers: (A) = Turbulent ﬂow (B) = Laminar ﬂow (C) = Air bubbles in the water Furthermore, air bubbles in the sea water are pressed down below the hull and mixed into the boundary layer. The boundary layer is thin underneath the forward part of the vessel, and increases in thickness as it moves towards aft.
Page 115: Inclination Of The Transducer Face
Transducer Installation upper position and release this in the lower position. Therefore, an echo sounder transducer should be placed well away from the bow thruster. Inclination of the transducer face Ideally, the transducer face should be mounted in parallel with the sea surface when the vessel is in normal trim, as this will provide the most accurate echo information.
Page 116: Ways Of Mounting The Transducer
Simrad ES60 If the vessel hull has a bulbous bow, this may well be a good transducer location, but also here must be taken into consideration the ﬂow pattern of the aerated water. Often the foremost part of the bulb is preferable.
Page 117: External Mounting
Transducer Installation External mounting Certain transducers have a streamlined housing, and these are designed for installation outside the hull. 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 118 Simrad ES60 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 119 Transducer Installation Wood or polyester 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 will also house a cable service loop (B).
Page 120 Simrad ES60 Hull with ﬂat bottom If the vessel’s hull is ﬂat you do not need a fairing. The transducer is then be bolted directly to the hull using two bronze or stainless steel bolts (I) and a cable bushing. Note that the...
Page 121 Transducer Installation Toe-in The primary consideration must be to allow laminar water ﬂow. In most cases this is achieved by placing the transducer (A) parallel with the keel (C). However, if the transducer is located close to the bow, the front of the transducer may have a few degrees (5 to 8°) toe-in towards the bow.
Page 122: Transducer Blister
Simrad ES60 Transducer blister With a transducer with circular housing, one recommended installation method is by using a blister. The transducer blister must be designed and manufactured by the installation shipyard to ﬁt the vessel’s size and hull shape. Mounting and clamping rings...
Page 123 Transducer Installation Example: Large transducer The illustration below shows a typical transducer blister designed for a large transducer. Note that due to the physical size of the transducer, a U-shaped support bar (E) is used to support the transducer. The purpose of this support is to prevent the transducer from being pushed up into the blister in heavy seas.
Page 124 Simrad ES60 Example: Small transducer The illustration below shows a typical transducer blister designed for a small transducer. The same blister design principles as for a large transducer apply. (CD017010B) (A) = Streamlined blister (E) = Air outlet (B) = Mounting ring...
Page 125 Transducer Installation Example: Medium sized transducer without clamping ring The illustration below shows a transducer blister designed for a medium sized transducers. The same blister design principles apply. Note that the transducer is mounted without a clamping ring, which makes it necessary to use a different mounting ring design.
Page 126 Simrad ES60 Common guidelines The best performance is obtained with a blister height of 40 cm or more. A streamlined shape and rounded edges reduce the ﬂow noise. A vertical leading edge or front will guide the aerated water to the sides of the blister. The orientation of the blister should follow the water ﬂow.
Page 127 Transducer Installation Observe the horizontal and vertical distances (X and Y) between the keel and the transducer blister. On a medium sized vessel, the horizontal distance (X) should be approximately 1 meter. The vertical distance (Y) must in general be as small as possible. This is important to prevent the keel from shadowing the transducer beam in shallow waters.
Page 128: Box Keel
Simrad ES60 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 129 Transducer Installation Example The ﬁgure below illustrates a symmetrical box keel installation. (A) = Box keel (B) = U-shaped support bar (only required on large transducers) (C) = Stufﬁng tube (D) = Cable in steel conduit (E) = Cable service loop 304699/A...
Page 130: Flush Mounting In A Steel Tank
Simrad ES60 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 131 Transducer Installation Example Transducer mounting in a steel tank is shown in the ﬁgure below. (CD17012A) (A) = Steel tank (B) = Water (C) = Drainage hole (D) = Cable service loop (E) = Steel tube for air outlet (F) = Stufﬁng tube (G) = Cable in steel conduit 304699/A...
Page 132: Acoustic Window
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 Simrad offers arctic tanks in different sizes. Mounting and clamping rings Circular transducers may be provided with mounting and clamping rings, or with drawings to allow for local production of these.
Page 133 Transducer Installation Example The transducer shown in the ﬁgure below is mounted inside the tank behind a strong acoustic window which could be made of polycarbonate. The tank is ﬁlled with oil. (CD017012B) (A) = Steel tank (B) = Oil (C) = Acoustic window (D) = Cable service loop (E) = Stufﬁng tube...
Page 134: 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 Simrad for advice. In addition to the loss, the beam pattern is degraded, because a larger area of the hull is set into vibrations.
Page 135 Transducer Installation Example The transducer shown in the ﬁgure below is mounted inside the hull. The tank is ﬁlled with oil. (CD017012C) (A) = Steel tank (B) = Oil (C) = Hull plating (D) = Cable service loop (E) = Stufﬁng tube (F) = Cable in steel conduit (G) = Hole for oil ﬁlling (H) = Air outlet...
Page 136: Drop Keel
Simrad ES60 Drop keel The use of a drop keel with the purpose of stabilising the vessel is well known. A drop keel is also a superior platform for echo sounder transducers. Such instrument keels have been built, mainly on research vessels, often protruding as far as three meters below the hull.
Page 137: Retractable Transducer
Transducer Installation Retractable transducer Hull units allowing the transducer to be lowered and hoisted are commonly used for horizontal looking sonars. When not in use, the transducer is retracted into a trunk. The retractable hull unit is more expensive than a blister, but on vessels with a hull where it is difﬁcult or impossible to install a blister, it may still be worth while.
Page 138: Cable Glands
Note Simrad strongly recommends that a length of conduit is ﬁtted around transducer cable glands made of steel or bronze and extended over the water-line inside the vessel. This precaution reduces the danger of ﬂooding in the event of gland failure and...
Page 139: Cable Gland For Steel Hulls
The cable gland kit includes all of the necessary parts needed to install the unit except screws. Simrad recommends that a one inch steel conduit (that the transducer cable will be run through) with an inside threaded diameter of three-quarter inches is welded to the gland’s stufﬁng tube.
Page 140: Cable Gland For Wood Or Grp Hulls
The cable gland kit includes all of the necessary parts needed to install the unit except screws. Simrad recommends that a one inch steel conduit (that the transducer cable will be run through) with an inside threaded diameter of three-quarter inches is attached to the gland’s packing nipple.
Page 141: Cable Glands For Small Hulls
Transducer Installation Cable glands for small hulls This cable glands made of plastic is designed for those smaller vessels that do not need to be classiﬁed. (CD17008C) (A) = Packing nut (bronze). Ensure that you do not to damage the transducer cable by tightening the packing nut too hard! (B) = Rubber gasket (C) = Plastic disk (D) = Rubber gasket...
Page 142: Cable Splicing
If you need to cut or lengthen the transducer cable, you must splice it correctly. The cable between the junction box and the transceiver must then be supplied by Simrad, and this must be the same type as used on the transducer(s).
Page 143: Handling And Maintenance
An anti-fouling paint may be applied to the transducer face. Because some paint types may be aggressive to the polyurethane in the transducer face, please consult Simrad’s list of approved paints. Note Arctic tanks have acoustic windows made of polycarbonate.
