Install the MEGA 360 ICE Mount

Use the following instructions to install the MEGA 360 Imaging ICE transducer 
mount. It is important to read the instructions completely and understand the 
mounting guidelines before you start the installation.

1. Prepare for Installation

1.  Supplies: Philips screwdriver.
2.  Complete the ICE HELIX Series Shuttle installation before proceeding with 

this installation.

3.  When the transducer pod is in use, the pod should be completely submerged 

below the ice. The transducer pod should not have anything obstructing 
the ‘view’ of the rotating beams. If the beams are blocked, confirm that the 
transducer is below the ice and move other equipment, such as additional 
transducers, if possible. 

2. Install the MEGA 360 ICE Mount Base

Use the following instructions to install the MEGA 360 ICE mounting assembly:

1.  Slide the cam lock over the MEGA 360 cables and down the pod shaft. 
2.  Determine the desired height for the ice base, depending on the thickness of 

the ice, and close the lever arm to lock the cam lock into position. 

   

NOTE:

 The MEGA 360 pod must be submerged below the ice.

3.  From the bottom of the ice base, insert the round, black bushing into the 

center of the base. You will hear it snap into place. 

4.  From the top of the ice base, line up the collet with the keyed grooves in the 

base and slide it into place.
