3. Positionthe float so that the transducerwill be submerged in the water,just
belowthe ice.
NOTE:The transducer must be submergedin water for reliable transducerdetection. The
bottomofthe transducer shouldbe even with thebottom of the ice or hangslightly below the
bottomof the ice.
4. Once you know where you want to
positionyour float, placeone of the cable
clampsonto the support cable,above the
float. Use theinside, smaller cable hole
forthe support cable sothat the float will
notmove, and so that the transducerwill
maintainits position under theice. Make
surethat the supportcable is taut, so that
the transducerhangs straight down(see
illustration).
5. Ifyou would like to keep the support and
signal cables together above the float
stop, attach a cable management clamp
(included) to the support cable (using
the inner, smaller hole) and the signal
cable (using the outer, larger hole).
Make sure that the signal cable has
some slack so that it is not bearing the
weightof the transducer.
