Safety Instructions

Please respect all instructions of this manual . They are of impor-

tance for your own and your ship’s safety.

When selecting the location of the sending unit check that no stringers will be

damaged and similary furniture, floor boards, cables, etc.

Respect the instructions of the tool manufacturer.

Solvent vapours can be produced by the sending unit sealant. Provide sufficient

ventilation.

Respect the instructions of the sealant manufacturer.

Please note that a considerable quantity of water can enter the ship while the

sounder is being removed.

Never remove the sounder with the ship in the water. Never pull on the cable to

remove the echo sounder. Insert the blind plug after removal of the echo sounder.

Installation of the Depth Sounder

The echo sounder unit must be installed in a turbulence-free zone in the hull.

It should be mounted vertically.

Do not install the sending unit close to external valves, anodes,

log sending units, etc. to avoid influences by turbulence.

Measure the distance between echo sounder and keel bottom and record this

value. You will need it later on for the basic setting (see installation and operating

instructions N08 601 103).

On sailing boats

the installation should always be made directly in front of the

keel, as close to the longitudinal axis as possible. On boats with a long keel the

installation should be at the end of the first third of the hull, but not at the widest

location of the hull.

A vertical installation of the echo sounder is especially important for sailing boats.

If the installation is not vertical, it may be impossible to measure the depth, due

to heeling of the ship.

On powerboats

the sending unit should be installed at about the beginning of the

last third of the hull, never towards the stern, or in a zone of strong turbulence or

up front, where strong disturbances by air introduction must be expected.

An ideal installation is near the longitudinal axis of the ship and in the zone of the

first stringer directly in front of the engine compartment, if possible. At higher

speed this is the only location where a disturbance-free echo sounder operation

can be expected.

The deviation from the vertical should not exceed 10 degrees, but measurements

may not be available at high speed, in tight curves and in deep water.
