Unpacking the transducer from its transport crate
The SN90 transducer is shipped in a wooden box. Prior to installation, the transducer
must be unpacked from its box, and placed under the mounting location.
Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the
normal tools for mechanical tasks, such as different screwdriver types, pliers, adjustable
spanners and wrenches. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend
that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment. The following specific tools
and items are required for this task:
• Adjustable spanner
• Crowbar
• Hammer
• Protective mat (for the transducer face)
• Ropes and tackles
• Transportation cart
Context
The shipping box has two “rooms”, one to house the transducer, and one to house the
cables. The transducer is placed with its “face” downwards. It rests on a protective
cushion shaped to fit the transducer face.
Note
A transducer must always be handled as a delicate item. Wrongful actions may damage
the transducer beyond repair.
The transducer cables must also be handled with care. Avoid sharp objects, and do
not exceed the minimum bending radius. Any damage to a cable may cause water
ingression. Water follows the cable cores into the transducer, and causes damage that
can not be repaired.
Observe the technical specifications for the SN90 transducer.
