The drop keel is normally used for
several echo sounder transducers.
At the bottom of the drop keel, the CP200-5C transducer can be installed with the transducer
face flushed with the horizontal plating. A protective tank may not be necessary, since the
drop keel will normally offer adequate protection.
The drop keel is normally used for several echo sounder transducers.
The transducer cable must be properly fastened at the bottom of the drop keel, and supported
during the lowering and lifting the drop keel.
Using the clamping and mounting frames
This transducer is designed to be mounted using a clamping frame and a mounting frame.
The mounting frame is welded to the hole prepared for the transducer. Screws through the
clamping frame into the mounting frame secure the transducer in place.
Note
Make sure that the "Forward" direction on transducer points in the forward direction of
the vessel.
Suitable mounting and clamping frames can be provided by Kongsberg Maritime. Drawings
are available for local manufacturing. End user manuals and source drawings (normally
in AutoCad format) can be downloaded from our website.
Smooth surface is important
Make sure that the surface of the transducer face, as well as the plating and putty around
the transducer is as even and smooth as possible.Obstructions on these surfaces will create
problems with turbulent flow, and may cause noise.
