Installation of the echo sounder: internal installation
An internal installation of the echo sounder is only possible on ships with a fiber-
glass reinforced hull. This does not apply to fiberglass sandwich hulls.
Due to signal damping the internal installation may cause power losses, and is
prone to more disturbances. Check that the location of the installation has no air
inclusions in the laminate, and that the hull material thickness is not excessive
(12 mm max.).
The ship must be in the water during the search
for the optimum echo sounder location.
Proceed as follows in your search:
Supply the indicating instrument with power (see installation and operating
instructions N08 601 103) and connect it to the echo sounder.
Put the sender in a plastic bag filled with water and move it over the hull until you
obtain a stable depth reading.
The echo sounder can be definitely fixed when you have found the optimum loca-
tion.
Install the echo sounder by bonding it with a salt-water resistant sealant.
Fixation by sealant:
Avoid bubbles between echo sounder and hull.
Installation of the echo sounder: through-hull installation
Make a hole, 53 mm diameter, at the selected location. The hull thickness should
not exceed 36 mm.
Camber the hole out at 45 degrees for good sealant distribution and to obtain a
reliable seal. Install the hull sleeve and the echo sounder as follows:
