1. INSTALLATION 1.1 Display Unit The display unit may be mounted on a desktop, overhead or flush mounted in a console. Mounting considerations Choose a mounting location for the display unit considering the following points: • Choose a location where the controls can be easily operated. • Leave sufficient space around the unit to facilitate checking and maintenance. See the outline drawing at the back of this manual for recommended maintenance space. • Locate the unit out of direct sunlight bec

If it is thicker than those dimensions, the length of the screws should be the thickness of the console plus 7.3 mm ± 1.5 mm. The length of the threaded portion to be inserted to the display unit should not exceed 7 mm (B 7). = A: Thickness of console 1.

1.2 Antenna Unit Refer to the antenna unit outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounting instructions. When selecting a mounting location consider the following points: • Select a location out of the radar and Inmarsat beams. Those beams will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal. • There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within line- of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong acqu

1.3 Transducer Inside-hull mounting The thru-hull mount transducer (520-5PSD, 520-5MSD) may also be installed inside the hull, fol- lowing the procedure below. Necessary tools You will need the following tools: • Sandpaper (#100) • Silicone sealant Remarks on installation • Turn off the engine and anchor the boat while installing the equipment. • Install the transducer in the engine room. • Do not turn on the echo sounder except if installing the transducer by the inside-hull mounting method.

Attaching the transducer 1. Clean the transducer face to remove any foreign material. Lightly roughen the transducer face with #100 sandpaper. Also, roughen the inside of the hull where the transducer is to be mounted. 2. Warm the silicone sealant to 40°C before usage to soften it. Coat the transducer face and mounting location with silicone sealant. Transducer Silicone Sealant Coating transducer face with silicone sealant 3. Press the transducer firmly down on the hull and gently twist it ba

Thru-hull mounting Transducer mounting location The thru-hull mount transducer (520-5PSD, 520-5MSD) provides the best performance of all, since the transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbulence near the hull skin is reduced. When the boat has a keel, the transducer should be at least 30 cm away from it. Typical thru-hull mountings are shown in the figure on the next page. The performance of a sounder is directly related to the mounting location of the transdu

Procedure for installing the thru-hull mount transducer 1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location chosen for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull. 2. If the hull is not level within 15° in any direction, fairing blocks made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face parallel with the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown below and make the entire surface as smooth as possible to p

Transom mount transducer The transom mount transducer (525-5PWD) is very commonly employed, usually on relatively small inboard/outboard or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor boat be- cause turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer. There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls) and projecting from hull (for deep V-hulls).

Installing the transom mount transducer on a deep-V hull This method is employed on deep-V hulls and provides good performance because the effects of air bubbles are minimal. Install the transducer parallel with water surface; not flush with hull. If the boat is placed on a trailer, care must be taken not to damage the transducer when the boat is hauled out of the water and put on the trailer.
