2. Installations
2.1 Hardware Installation
The sonar should be mounted using suitable pipe clamps, or similar to firmly secure
it to the vehicle. Tritech recommends the use of 3mm insulating rubber spacers to
aid grip and prevent damage to the anodised coating.
It’s recommended, during installation, that the Sonar be positioned so it
has an unobstructed view of the intended scan area, while also avoiding
prop-wash from thrusters. Ensure the Super Seaking V7 is protected from possible
impact damage.
During Installation, be sure to safeguard against damage to the protective anodised
coating on the main housing. Any chips or scratches may lead to corrosion of the
housing which may impact the performance of the system.
Caution
Non-metallic clamps are preferred when
securing the Sonar, however, if metallic
clamps are to be used they must be
electrically insulated to protect the housing.
Avoid any clamping material that may
contain brass or bronze.
Mate connectors/blanks ensuring the washers are in places and have been
greased and the securing screws have been tightened.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN RETENTION SCREWS.
If using a Seacon connector, you are
reminded that the retention ring should
be finger tight. Applying too much
pressure risks damaging the connector.
Run cables to junction box for integration to your system, securing to the
vehicle as you go. Check that the cables and connectors are not subjected
to excessive strain and are not kinked or bent excessively. The safe bend
radius of the V7 cables is 100mm.
