INTRODUCTION

The Clipper Duet is a combined log and depth sounder. It is
supplied complete with paddlewheel unit, transducer, and alarm
bleeper. The Duet is designed to be powered from the vessel’s
12 volt battery supplied

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Select a convenient position for the display on a panel or bulk-
head.

The site must be flat and the cavity behind the panel must
remain dry at all times. (The cable entry is deliberately not
sealed to ensure adequate ventilation. This prevents misting of 
the display).

Cut a hole in the panel 87mm wide and 67mm high. Bring the
wiring through the hole in the panel and connect the black wire
to negative and red to positive. (See Figure 1). It is wise to use a
fused supply to provide protection should a fault occur. The
current consumption is very small, so any supply with at least a 
1/4 amp fuse is more than adequate.
