Introduction 1 INSTALLATION DOCUMENT This installation manual will act as an installation document for later updating and service on the sonar, and must therefore be stored on board the vessel into which the equipment is to be installed. To ensure the best possible result of the installation, it is important that each procedure is carefully followed.
The Hull Unit uses an installation trunk which is equal to the old Simrad SL and SX installation trunks. The Hull Unit can therefore easily be mounted in an old SL or SX trunk. As an option, an adapter flange can be delivered for mounting the Hull Unit in an old SK, SB or SQ trunk.

Simrad SD570 / Base version Figure 1 - Location of the Hull Unit Sonar room requirements The sonar room should be dimensioned to house the Hull Unit and the Transceiver Unit. This because the length of the flexi- hose protected cabling from the Hull Unit to the Transceiver Unit is limited to approximately 3.5 meters.
Page 37
Introduction Ventilation The sonar room should preferably be connected to the ship’s ventilation system. If this is not possible, two 3- inch vent pipes must be laid from the sonar room to free air on deck. The air inlet should be close to the floor, while the outlet should be placed as high as possible.

Introduction 3 INSTALLATION OF THE HULL UNIT Unpacking the Hull Unit In order to prevent damage of the transducer and the transducer cables while handling the Hull Unit, these parts are especially protected. This means that both the transducer protection and the cable protection should still be mounted to the Hull Unit when it is being lowered down into the sonar room (see figure 6).
Simrad SD570 / Base version When unpacking the Hull Unit, first remove the top cover from the wooden box, then pull out the nails marked with Indian ink. Fasten the lifting device to the two lifting eye bolts on the top of the gallows and lift the Hull Unit with the protections carefully out from the transport box.
Introduction Remove the cable protection box. The transducer cables and connectors have to be kept dry and handled with care to avoid mechanical damage. Staying The Hull Unit is constructed to be in the lower position with a maximum speed of 15 knots. To prevent unwanted vibrations, the Hull Unit has to be stayed off against the bulkhead.
Simrad SD570 / Base version Installation checklist For the following check list, refer to the sonar room requirements in chapter 1.3. INSTALLATION CHECKLIST Are the access hatches satisfactory? Is the heating satisfactory? Is the insulation satisfactory? Is the ventilation satisfactory?
Introduction 4 INSTALLATION OF THE TRANSCEIVER UNIT Note ! The Transceiver Unit must be mounted as a complete unit, i.e. the door should not be opened until the unit is securely fastened to the bulkhead. Before starting the mounting of the Transceiver Unit, note that the distance between the Hull Unit and the Transceiver Unit is limited because of the flexible transducer cables.
