INSTALLATION PREPARATION
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The speed/temperature sensor takes readings from the water at the
surface. It should be installed in contact with the surface of the water in an
area that has smooth water flow - usually on the transom of the boat.
Refer to the speed/temperature installation sheet included.
The transducer converts electrical energy from the transmitter into
mechanical pulses or sound waves. The transducer also receives the
reflected sound waves and converts them back into electrical signals for
display on the control head. It should be installed in contact with the
surface of the water in an area that has smooth water flow - usually on the
transom of the boat. There are several mounting options for the
transducer. Review the following section to determine the method that
works for you and your boat.
Determining How to Mount the
Transducer
The
160
includes a model TZ160H
transducer. This transducer can be
mounted on the transom of the boat,
or bonded to the inside of a fiberglass
hull boat.
The transom installation, which is the
most widely used, places the transducer
on the outside of the boat hull. This
technique produces the least signal loss,
and provides a way to adjust the
transducer after installation. The
mounting hardware included is
designed to protect both the boat and
the transducer should the boat strike
debris in the water or when trailering.
