Verifying the installation parameters for the transducer
Information from a few key sensors are vital for the CS90 accuracy. In order to achieve maximum accuracy, the physical locations of these sensors - normally referred to the Ship Origin - must be recorded in the CS90 setup.
Prerequisites
For accurate location of the transducer, you need the detailed vessel drawings. Neither tools nor instruments are required. The CS90 is turned on, and it is working normally.
Context
The physical location of the CS90 transducer is important for the CS90 data accuracy. The locations of the transducer and the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna must be referenced to a common Ship Origin.
Procedure
1 Open the Setup menu.
2 On the Setup menu, select Installation.

Observe that the Installation dialog box opens. This dialog box contains a number of pages selected from the menu on the left side.
3 On the left side of the Installation dialog box, select the small white triangle next to Installation Parameters.
Observe that a menu opens with access to all the individual pages.
4 Select Transducer to open the page.
a Obtain the offset and rotation (angle) information from the personnel that installed the transducer.
b Make sure that the correct offset values have been inserted.
c Make sure that the correct installation angles have been inserted.
d Record the information in the result table.
5 Continue your work in the Installation dialog box, or select OK to close it.
