Installing the transducer
The transducer can be flush mounted on large vessels, where the size of the hull prevents air bubbles from reaching down to the transducer face. Flush mounting can also be used on vessels operating in shallow harbours or waters, where a protruding blister can not be accepted.

Using the mounting ring
This large circular is transducer is designed to be mounted using the integrated flange and a mounting ring.The mounting ring is welded to the hole prepared for the transducer. Bolts through the transducer flange into the mounting ring will secure the transducer in place.
Note
Make sure that the "Forward" direction on transducer points in the forward direction of the vessel.
A suitable mounting ring can be provided by Kongsberg Maritime. A drawing is available for local manufacturing. The drawing (normally in AutoCad format) can be downloaded from our website.
