Note
The use of guy lines or flexible fixings is not recommended.
If the fixing mechanism is designed such that the profiling heads can be withdrawn
from the water but left in place on the side of the vessel then consideration should be
given to the installation of a suitable cover to protect the head when not in use. The
head should be clamped securely around the main part of the body tube. Any metallic
clamps should be electrically insulated from the sonar body by either rubber or plastic
strips or mounting brackets of at least 3 mm thickness and extending at least 3 mm
beyond the clamp boundary to reduce any galvanic corrosion effect.
Note
Non-metallic clamps are preferable; if metallic clamps are used they
should be painted or lacquered with at least two or three coatings.
For ROV Installations
The sonar heads should be mounted in the correct orientation along the trim of the
vehicle and it should have an unrestricted view of the seabed.
The head should be clamped securely around the main part of the body tube. Any
metallic clamps should be electrically insulated from the sonar body by either rubber
or plastic strips or mounting brackets of at least 3 mm thickness and extending at least
3 mm beyond the clamp boundary to reduce any galvanic corrosion effect.
Note
Non-metallic clamps are preferable; if metallic clamps are used they
should be painted or lacquered with at least two or three coatings.
