Scanner Orientation  

Mounting direction 

Mounting  of  the  CONTOUR  at  a  specific  direction  is 
important. The ridge on the horn body, and the notch on the 
top  of  the  thread  (representing  antenna  no.1)  should  be 
directed toward the center of the vessel.

 indication toward vessel center 

Standpipe mounting 

When  mounting  the  scanner  using  a  standpipe  it  should 
be  assembled  and  positioned  at  a  height  that  leaves  at 
least  10mm  (0.4

)  out  of  the  standpipe,  for  the  antenna 

end protrudes, as shown in the figure to the right. 

 

 

IMPORTANT

:    Any  obstruction  as  well 

as rails, frames or support beams should 
never  interfere  with  the  acoustic  beam 

transmitted  and  received,  as  shown  in 
the figure to the right. 

This  comment  applies  to  all  CONTOUR  models 
including S model.
