• Paint your transducer using a brush, do not use a spray can or a sponge roller as these methods
can cause tiny air bubbles to be incorporated in the paint, which will also reduce transducer
performance.
The anti-fouling paint should be applied in a thin and even coat covering all externally exposed
transducer surfaces.
You should clean your transducer regularly and re-apply anti-fouling paint every 6 months, or sooner
depending on how rapidly organic growth builds up.
For guidance on transducer cleaning refer to
For instructions on re-applying anti-fouling paint refer to
p.42 — Re-applying anti-fouling paint
3.2 Pre-installation test
Testing the transducer
Transducer operation should be checked before installation.
1. Connect the transducer to the transducer connection of a HyperVision™ compatible display
(e.g. Element HV 9 display).
2. Fully submerge the transducer in water.
3. Power up your HyperVision™ display.
The first time the display is powered up, or after a factory reset has been performed, the startup
wizard is displayed. Transducer selection is part of the boat details options in the startup wizard.
4. Open a Fishfinder (Sonar) app on your display.
5. If required, select the relevant transducer from the Transducer settings tab (
Menu > Transducer
> Transducer
).
6. Check that accurate depth and temperature readings are displayed.
7. If you experience difficulties obtaining readings then contact Raymarine Technical Support.
Warning: Transducer operation
Only test and operate the transducer in the water. Do NOT operate out of water
as overheating may occur.
Caution: Transducer cable
• Do NOT use the transducer cable to lift or suspend the transducer; always
support the transducer body directly during installation.
• Do NOT cut, shorten, or splice the transducer cable.
• Do NOT remove the connector.
If the cable is cut, it cannot be repaired. Cutting the cable will also void the
warranty.
