    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.

  • Page 16: Supply Conditions

    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.
