Inclination angle
The installation of the transducer must be done with the correct inclination angle.
Ideally, the transducer face should be mounted vertically in parallel with the vessel’s fore-and-aft axis. However, it is also very important that the water flow over the transducer face is laminar. In order to ensure laminar flow, the transducer face must be tilted slightly forward in relation to the water flow. This allows the flowing water to meet the face directly, and reduces laminar noise.
Recommended inclination angle for the MS70 transducer face is: 2° (Approximately)
Note
Ensure that you do not mount the transducer with a negative inclination angle. This may cause turbulence on the transducer face, and reduced MS70 performance.
