Context
Observe the physical size and weight of the transducer. Unless a suitable lifting device
is available, make sure that enough manpower is available to lift, hold and fasten the
transducer.
Procedure
1 Lift the transducer up into its location. Align the holes on the mounting flange with
the holes in the mounting ring.
Note
Observe the direction of the transducer. The "forward" marking must point towards
the bow of the vessel!
2 Mount the transducer using the bolts provided. Apply Loctite 270 to secure the bolts.
Use maximum torque 35 Nm.
3 When the transducer has been fastened, inspect the plating around the transducer
face.
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.
4 If required, allow the relevant maritime authority and/or classification society to
inspect and approve the transducer installation.

Painting the transducer face
Marine growth (biological fouling) on the transducer face reduces the ES18 performance.
We recommend that you paint the transducer face immediately after installation, and
then again as often as required to maintain the protection.
Prerequisites
The following tools and consumables are required.
• Personal protection
• Fresh water
• A mild synthetic detergent and a plastic brush
• Fine-grade sandpaper (240 inch grit size)
