1. INSTALLATION
1.4Transducer
The performance of this equipment is directly dependent on the installation of the transducer.
The installation of the transducer and the tank must be accomplished by a dockyard referring to the installation drawings at the later part of this manual.
1.4.1Installation location
To decide the location of the transducer, the following points must be taken into account.
• Locate the transducer of
DOPPLER SONAR TRANSDUCER
STERN | BOW |
2500 mm or more
Recommended location |
for echo sounder transducer |
ECHO SOUNDER TRANSDUCER |
•Separate as far as possible from air bubble sources; e.g., side thruster and water disposal pipes.
•Install in close proximity to the keel, for uniform water flow.
•Generally, best performance is obtained by mounting on the bow; the stern side is influenced more easily by air bubbles and propeller cavitation.
•Do not apply any paint to the transducer face.
