Installation of the hull unit
Warning Do not remove the protecting cover from the
transducer until just before the Hull Unit is to be
lowered into the trunk.
Mounting the hull unit
The Hull Unit should normally be oriented with the
hoisting/lowering motor pointing aft (see figure 6). If this
orientation makes the motor control unit on the Hull Unit
difficult to access, the Hull Unit may be oriented in the most
suitable position.

Figure 6 Recommended orientation of the hull unit
1 Use a tackle to lower the Hull Unit with the protections
down into the sonar room. Remove the blind cover from
the trunk, and check that the gasket is not damaged. Store
the blind cover in the sonar room for possible future use.
2 Remove the transport-protection from the transducer and
lower the Hull Unit carefully down into the trunk. Tighten
the flange nuts with a torque of approximately 6 kpm.
The transducer cables and connectors must be kept dry and
handled with care to avoid mechanical damage.
Air bleeding
To avoid damage of the transducer by transmitting in air inside
the trunk, a pipe with a minimum inside diameter of 10 mm
must be fitted to the air bleeding cock, and run with continuous
rise to free air above deck or out through the ship s side. Make
sure that the air bleeding cock is opened (see figure 7).
