WARNING

Turn off the power at the switchboard before beginning the installation. Connect to a dedicated breaker in the power distributor.

Fire or electrical shock can result if the power is left on.

Do not install the equipment where it may get wet from rain or water splash.

Water in the equipment can result in fire, electrical shock or damage the equipment.

Be sure no water leaks in at the trans- ducer mounting location.

Water leakage can sink the vessel. Also, confirm that the transducer will not loosen by ship's vibration. The installer of the equipment is solely responsible for the proper installation of the equipment. FURUNO will assume no responsibility for any damage associated with improper installation.

Use the proper cable and fuse.

Use of an incorrect cable and fuse can damage the equipment and can cause fire.

WARNING

Be sure that the power supply is compatible with the voltage rating of the equipment.

Connection of an incorrect power supply can cause fire or damage the equipment. The voltage rating of the equipment appears on the label above the power connector.

Install the transducer according to the installation instructions.

Failure to install the transducer correctly may result in water leakage and damage to the ship's hull.

For wooden or FRP vessel using a steel tank, attach a zinc plate to the hull to prevent electrolytic corrosion.

Electrolytic corrosion can, in the worst case, result in loss of the transducer.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.
