Using the clamping and mounting rings
This circular transducer is designed to be mounted using a clamping and a mounting
ring. The mounting ring is welded to the hole prepared for the transducer. Bolts through
the clamping ring into the mounting ring 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 rings can be provided by Kongsberg Maritime. The
drawings are available for local manufacturing. The drawing (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.
Mounting screws or bolts must not be extruding from the transducer or the plating
immediately around it.
Note
Obstructions on these surfaces will create problems with turbulent flow, and may cause
noise.
