Lower part of transducer shaft
B Transducer with its red protective coating
The transducer is mounted at the bottom end of the hull unit’s transducer
shaft. This allows the transducer to be lowered into the water for operational
use, and retracted for protection when the CS90 system is turned off. By
lowering the transducer into the water, you may also be able to reduce the
noise created by the laminar flow of water along the hull.
The transducer contains 480 individual elements.
Rules for transducer handling
A transducer must always be handled as a delicate instrument. Incorrect actions may
damage the transducer beyond repair. A physical blow to the transducer face may easily
damage one or more elements. Observe these transducer handling rules:
• Do not activate the transducer when it is out of the water.
•
Do not
handle the transducer roughly. Avoid impacts.
• Do not expose the transducer to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
• Do not use high-pressure water, sandblasting, metal tools or strong solvents to clean
the transducer.
•
Do not
damage the outer protective skin of the transducer.
• Do not damage the outer protective skin of the transducer face.
• Do not step on the transducer cables.
•
Do not
damage the transducer cables. Avoid exposure to sharp objects.
