Raymarine RVM-100, Installation Instructions Manual

Page: 27 / 56

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.
RealVision transducer extension cables
Your transducer is supplied with a fitted cable, for some installations
(including all split-pair transducer installations) it may be necessary to extend
the length of the transducer cable.
Note:
• For best performance, cable runs should be kept to a minimum.
• Only use Raymarine® transducer extension cables.
Raymarine® offers he following optional extension cables are available:
• RealVision™ transducer extension cable 3 m (9.8 ft) (part number A80475)
• RealVision™ transducer extension cable 5 m (16.4 ft) (part number A80476)
• RealVision™ transducer extension cable 8 m (26.2 ft) (part number A80477)
Split pair transducers: Extension cables fitted between the transducer and
the ‘Y’ cable must be fitted in equal length pairs (i.e.: each transducer’s final
cable length must be the same).
Warning: Maximum transducer cable length
The maximum length of cable between a RealVision™ Max
3D transducer and a MFD/sonar module (including the
transducer’s captive cable) must NOT exceed 18 m (59 ft).
Cable lengths greater than this may cause damage to the
RealVision™ Max 3D transducer and MFD/sonar module.
7.5 Mounting
Mounting the transom mount bracket
The transducer must be mounted on the transom using the mounting bracket
provided. The steps below describe the initial mounting steps required in
order to test your transducer’s performance.
Important:
• Initially only the 2 holes for the height adjustment screws are required
to secure the mounting bracket to the transom. The third screw is used
to finalize the installation once the transducer has been tested and
adjusted to obtain optimum performance.
• To help prevent chipping of fiberglass hulls, use painter’s tape to mask
the drill hole areas, behind the mounting template.
1. Fix the supplied transducer mounting template to the selected location,
using masking or self-adhesive tape.
2. Ensure the template is parallel to the waterline.
3. Drill 2 x holes for the adjustment slot screws as indicated on the template.
