4.4 Transducer connection
If your MFD includes a built-in sonar module then you can connect a transducer to your MFD.
• RV variant MFDs can connect to RealVision™ 3D transducers
• DV variant MFDs can connect to DownVision™ transducers
• DV variant MFDs can also connect directly to CHIRP conical beam transducers that use the
DownVision™ 9 pin connector.
• Adaptor cables are also available that enable connection of non-CHIRP transducers to DV and
RV variant MFDs.
Note:
1.
Transducer extension cables are available.
2. MFDs that do not have a built-in sonar module can be connected to a transducer via an
external CPxxx series sonar module.
RealVision™ 3D transducer extension cable
For best performance, cable runs should be kept to a minimum. However, for some installations it
may be necessary to extend the transducer cable.
• 3 m (9.8 ft), 5 m (16.4 ft), and 8 m (26.2 ft) transducer extension cables are available (part numbers:
3 m - A80475, 5 m - A80476, 8 m - A80477).
• It is recommended that a maximum of two cable extensions are used, with the total cable length
not exceeding 18 m.
DownVision™ transducer extension cable
For best performance, cable runs should be kept to a minimum. However, for some installations it
may be necessary to extend the transducer cable.
• A 4 m (13.1 ft.) Transducer extension cable (A80273) is available.
• It is recommended that only one cable extension is used.
