User manual NAVMAN TDX INSTALL

[. . . ] Dual Frequency Aquaducer extension cable 13 ft (4 m). What comes with a transducer Transducer with mounting bracket and cable [Mk2 and Mk3 Aquaducer cable 26 ft (8 m), Dual Frequency Aquaducer and depth only transducer cable 33 ft (10 m)]. Important It is the owner's sole responsibility to install and use NAVMAN's transducers in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing safe boating practices. Transducer installation: The choice, location and angle of the transducer is the most critical part of installation. If installation is not correct, the unit can not perform at its designed potential. [. . . ] Mark four screw holes through the template so that they will be positioned in the middle of the transducer bracket's slots: · For fibreglass (GRP) or wooden hulls, ensure the entire bottom face of the transducer will always be approximately 1/4" (6 mm) (dual frequency transducer 1/2" (12 mm)) beneath the surface of the water, including when the boat is at speed. For aluminium hulls, ensure the entire bottom face of the transducer will always be approximately 1/2" (12 mm) (dual frequency transducer 3/4" (18 mm)) beneath the surface of the water, including when the boat is at speed. 7 6 5 Attach the mounting bracket with the four longer stainless screws provided, slide the bracket up or down until the screws are in the middle of the slots, then tighten the screws temporarily. If necessary, loosen the transducer pivot bolt so that the transducer can rotate. 2 3 Note: the transducer rotates in `clicks' of 7 degrees. Parallel 1/4" (6 mm) or 1/2" (12 mm) or 3/4" (18 mm) · Push end down 1 click Hold a straight edge on the bottom of the hull and rotate the transducer so that the bottom surface of the transducer is parallel to the bottom of the hull (to the closest click). Tighten the pivot bolt until the rubber washer on the pivot bolt starts to compress, then add another 1/4 turn. If the transducer kicks up when at speed, then tighten the pivot bolt more. 4 Note: Locating the screws at the midpoints in the slots enables the transducer to be moved up or down later. Drill the four screw holes 5/64" (2 mm) diameter and at right angles to the transom, so that when the screws are tightened the screw heads sit flat. Drill 5/64" (2 mm), apply sealant in holes (after adjusting and testing) Screw transducer onto transom 8 Note: The face of the transducer should face forward by about 7 degrees when the boat is moving. Pivot bolt 4 NAVMAN Transom Mount Transducers Installation Manual If the cable is to pass through the transom: 1 2 Cable clamp Drill 7/64" Drill 3/4" (3 mm), apply (19 mm) sealant in hole in holes transom Insert cable through hole Fit screws 3 Cable cover Apply sealant Mark holes, Drill 7/64" (3 mm) Fit screws Drill the hole a safe distance above water line. If you are unsure where to put the hole, consult a qualified boatbuilder. Do not cut the cable. Fit one or two cable clamps on transom to hold cable. This may prevent the transducer from causing damage should the bracket break while the boat is moving. Fit cable cover over cable hole in transom. · The screw holes. Wiring The transducer has a cable to connect it to the navigation instrument. When fitting this cable: · Keep the cable away from other cables and equipment (for example fluorescent lights, power inverters and VHF transmitters). · If necessary, extend the cable by adding a NAVMAN 13 ft (4 m) extension cable (a maximum of one cable can be used). Refer to the navigation instrument's installation manual for instructions on how to connect the cable to the instrument. Adjusting and testing Adjust and test the transducer after the transducer and instrument have been installed and with the boat in at least 6 ft (2 m) of water. If the depth does not display, follow the troubleshooting instructions in the instrument manual. If the depth does not display then: i Remove any oil from the transducer by wiping the face of the transducer with mild detergent on a cloth. ii Adjust the angle of the transducer by pushing the end down another click. iii Loosen the screws then slide the transducer mounting bracket down or up in steps of 0. 1" (2. 5 mm) to achieve best high speed performance. iv Review the position of the transducer (see Position of transducer at the beginning of this manual). 3 Once adjustments are completed, ensure that all screws are tight, the pivot bolt is tight and all holes are filled with sealant.
