INSTALLATION

The 1007D altimeter is normally mounted with clamps around
its 3½” diameter housing. Two tapped mounting holes (1/4 -
20 UNC by ¾” deep) are provided on the side of the
connector end-cap for orientation only and

SHOULD NOT

BE USED FOR MOUNTING

. When designing the

mounting bracket, be sure to allow enough room for
installation and removal of the underwater connector.

3.1

Mounting Position

The 1007D altimeter is normally used to measure height
above the sea floor and in this case must be mounted
vertically with the transducer pointing down.

For special applications, the altimeter can be mounted in any
desired orientation, in which case range will be measured to
targets of sufficient size and reflectivity within its beam.
