Selecting hull unit
The CS90 can be provided with different hull units. The main difference between these hull units is the length of the transducer shaft, and thus also the physical height of the entire hull unit assembly. The same transducer is used on all hull unit types.
Context
The hull unit provided with the CS90 is designed to lower the transducer down below the ship’s hull when the CS90 shall be used. When the CS90 is switched off, the transducer is hoisted for protection.
Caution
If the transducer hits larger objects or bottom, the transducer shaft may be bent, or - in worst case - it can be broken off. A broken transducer shaft will cause water leakage through the top of the shaft. If you suspect that the transducer shaft is seriously damaged with holes, do not retract the transducer to its upper position.
To prevent serious damage to the vessel or the vessel stability, you must have a water pump and a warning system in the sonar room.
