INSTALLATION
Fully discussion and agreement are required with the ship owner and dockyard
in deciding the location for the Hull unit. Give careful considerations to the
installations.
INSTALLATION POSITION of HULL UNIT
Select an area where noise, interference and bubbles are minimal.
The point at 1/3 to 1/2 of the ship
’s length from the bow or near the keel is the best.
If the Hull unit cannot be installed on the keel, the center of the retraction TD tank should be
within 1 meter of the keel.

TD tank
Be sure there are no obstacles to interfere the ultrasonic beam when the Transducer unit is
lowered.
Provide sufficient clearance around the TD tank for maintenance and inspection work.
The Bow mark
（ △ ） on the Flange should be installed facing the bow. However, if this hinders
maintenance or inspection, and there is no solution, direct the mark to the opposite (180°)
direction, toward the stern.
