3.2.2 Alignment with Vehicle
The standard installation is to install the ISS360 sonar with the boot end facing upwards,
connector facing downwards.
The sonar should be installed so that the top of the boot is perfectly level.
The indentation on the connector endcap should be installed pointing forward, in the
direction of the vehicle’s travel:
The sonar can also be installed with the connector facing upwards and the boot end facing
downwards. In this installation orientation, ensure that the
‘Sonar is Inverted’
box is ticked
in the seaView ISS360 Orientation settings window. This will automatically correct the
imagery to compensate for the inverted sonar installation.
3.2.3 Magnetic Disturbers (Heading Performance)
When the heading output is used, the ISS360 should be mounted as far as possible from
sources of magnetic interference.
Electrical items which can cause magnetic interference include motors, transformer and
valve packs. Ferrous metals or any other magnetically active materials will also have
influence on the heading reading.
Thus, where possible, the sonar should be installed as far away from magnetically active
materials as is possible.
