transducer on the ship (thru-hull mount, inside the hull and transom mount) and one of
those methods is to be selected according to
the structure of the ship. The procedure
which follows below shows how to install a
small transducer (520-5PSD/5MSD) as the
representative example of installation.
1.2.1How to mount a transducer
through the hull
Transducer mounting location
The thru-hull mount transducer provides the
best performance of all, since the transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of
air bubbles and turbulence near the hull skin is reduced. If your boat has a keel, the
transducer should be at least 30 cm away from it.
The performance of this fish finder is directly related to the mounting location of the
transducer, especially for high-speed cruising. The installation should be planned in
advance, keeping the length of the transducer cable and the following factors in mind:
1. MOUNTING
• Air bubbles and turbulence
caused by movement of
the boat seriously degrade
the sounding capability of
the transducer. The transducer should, therefore, be
located in a position where
water flow is the smoothest. Noise from the propellers also adversely affects
performance and the transducer should not be mounted nearby. The lifting
strakes are notorious for
creating acoustic noise,
and these must be avoided
by keeping the transducer
inboard of them.
• The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the boat is rolling,
pitching or up on a plane at high speed.
• A practical choice would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of your boat's length
from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical location is generally rather far astern,
so that the transducer is always in water regardless of the planing attitude.

should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep
the transducer face parallel with the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as
shown below and make the entire surface as smooth as possible to provide an
undisturbed flow of water around the transducer. The fairing block should be
smaller than the transducer itself to provide a channel to divert turbulent water
around the sides of the transducer rather than over its face.
3.Drill a hole just large enough to pass the threaded stuffing tube of the transducer
through the hull, making sure it is drilled vertically.
4.Apply a sufficient amount of high quality caulking compound to the top surface of
the transducer, around the threads of the stuffing tube and inside the mounting
hole (and fairing blocks if used) to ensure watertight mounting.
5.Mount the transducer and fairing blocks and tighten the locknut. Be sure that the
transducer is properly oriented and its working face is parallel to the waterline.

NOTICE
This installation method affects the ability to detect the bottom,
fish and other objects because the ultrasound pulse is weakened
when it passes through the hull.
Therefore, refrain from this mounting method for a transducer
that supports the RezBoost™ (Enhanced Mode), ACCU-FISH™
and/or bottom discrimination display feature.
Remarks on installation
This method is useful when mounting a transducer inside the hull of FRP ship, however, it affects the ability to detect the bottom, fish and other objects.
• Do the installation with the ship moored at a dock, etc. The water depth should be
6.5 to 32 feet (2 to 10 meters).
• Turn off the engine.
• Do not power the unit with the transducer in the air, to prevent damage to the
transducer.
• Do not use this method on a double layer hull.
• Before attaching the transducer to the hull, check that the site is suitable, by following
steps 1 to 3 in the installation procedure below.
1. MOUNTING
Necessary tools
The following tools are required:
• Sandpaper (#100)
• Marine sealant
• Water-filled plastic bag
Selecting a location to install the transducer
Install the transducer on the hull plate inside of the engine room. The attenuation of
the ultrasound pulse varies with the thickness of the hull. Select a location where attenuation is the lowest.
Select 2-3 locations considering the four points mentioned below.
• Mount the transducer at a location 1/2 to 1/3 of the length of your boat from the
stern.
• The mounting location is between 15 to 50 cm from the centerline of the hull.
• Do not place the transducer over hull struts or ribs which run under the hull.
• Avoid a location where the rising angle of the hull exceeds 15°, to minimize the
effect of the boat's rolling.

1.2.3How to install the transom mount transducer
The optional transom mount transducer is very commonly employed, usually on
relatively small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor
boat because turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer.
DO NOT over-tighten screws, to prevent damage to the transducer.
Installation procedure
A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm away from the engine and where the
water flow is smooth.
1.Drill four pilot holes for self-tapping screw (5×20) in the mounting location.
2.Coat the threads of the self-tapping screws (5×14) for the transducer with marine
sealant for waterproofing. Attach the transducer to the mounting location with the
self-tapping screws.
3.Adjust the transducer position so the
transducer faces right to the bottom.
If necessary, to improve water flow
and minimize air bubbles staying on
the transducer face, incline the transducer about 5° at the rear. This may
require a certain amount of experimentation for fine tuning at high cruising speeds.
4.Tape the location shown in the figure below.
5.Fill the gap between the wedge front of
the transducer and transom with epoxy
material to eliminate any air spaces.
6.After the epoxy hardens, remove the
tape.
1-12
Transducer protrusion
If the hull is not level within 15° in any direction, install the transducer so that it protrudes from the hull, to keep the transducer face
parallel with the water line, not with the hull.
This installation method has a merit for avoiding the bubbles by diverting turbulent water around the sides of the transducer rather than over its face. However, it may cause
damage to the transducer during trailering, launching, hauling, and storage.

Adjustments
1.Using a straight edge, sight the underside of the sensor relative to the underside
of the hull. The stern of the sensor should be 1-3 mm (1/16-1/8") below the bow
of the sensor or parallel to the bottom of the hull.
Note: Do not position the bow of the sensor lower than the stern because aeration
will occur.
2.To adjust the sensor's angle relative to the hull, use the tapered plastic shim provided. If the bracket has been temporarily fastened to the transom, remove it. Key
the shim in place on the back of the bracket.
2°-10°transom angle (stepped transom and jet boats): Position the shim with
the tapered end down.
19°-22°transom angle (small aluminum and fiberglass boats): Position the
shim with the tapered end up.
3.If the bracket has been temporarily fastened to the transom, remove it. Apply a marine sealant to
the threads of the three #10 × 1-1/
4" self-tapping screws to prevent
water seeping into the transom.
Screw the bracket to the hull. Do
not tighten the screws completely
at this time.
4.Repeat step 1 to ensure that the
angle of the sensor is correct.
Note: Do not position the sensor
farther into the water than
necessary to avoid increasing
drag, spray, and water noise and
reducing boat speed.
5.Using the vertical adjustment
space on the bracket slots, slide the
sensor up or down to provide a projection of 3 mm
(1/8"). Tighten the screws.

How to route the cable
Route the sensor cable over the transom, through
a drain hole, or through a new hole drilled in the transom above the waterline. If a hole
must be drilled, choose a location well above the waterline. Check for obstructions
such as trim tabs, pumps, or wiring inside the hull. Mark the location with a pencil. Drill
a hole through the transom using a 19 mm or 3/4" bit (to accommodate the connector).
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
CAUTION
Never cut the cable; this will void the warranty.
1.Route the cable over or through the transom. On the outside of the hull secure the
cable against the transom using the cable clamps. Position a cable clamp 50 mm
(2") above the bracket and mark the mounting hole with a pencil.
2.Position the second cable clamp halfway between the first clamp and the cable
hole. Mark this mounting hole.
3.If a hole has been drilled in the transom, open the appropriate slot in the transom
cable cover. Position the cover over the cable where it enters the hull. Mark the
two mounting holes.
4.At each of the marked locations, use a 3 mm or 1/8" bit to drill a hole 10 mm
(3/8") deep. The prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape around the bit 10
mm (3/8") from the point.
5.Apply marine sealant to the threads of the #6 x 1/2" self-tapping screw to prevent
water from seeping into the transom. If you have drilled a hole through the
transom, apply marine sealant to the space around the cable where it passes
through the transom.
6.Position the two cable clamps and fasten them in place. If used, push the cable
cover over the cable and screw it in place.
1-16
7.Route the cable to the display unit being careful not to tear the cable jacket when
passing it though the bulkhead(s) and other parts of the boat. To reduce electrical
interference, separate the sensor cable from other electrical wiring and "noise"
sources. Coil any excess cable and secure it in place with zip-ties to prevent
damage.

2.7Network Connection with Other TZT Series Units
Your TZT12F is equipped with two network connectors (RJ45). Like previous NavNet
series equipment, the TZT12F is able to share Radar images and other information,
across an Ethernet connection. Up to six NavNet TZtouch units may be connected to
the same network at one time (see page iii for the details). However, for configurations
with one or more TZT2BB included, the maximum number of networked NavNet TZtouch units is four. For example, a configuration with one TZT16F and one TZT12F
can have two TZT2BB units connected.
2.8NMEA 2000 Connector
Every TZT12F has one NMEA 2000 connector (micro style connector). All TZT12F
must be connected to the same NMEA 2000 backbone.
What is NMEA 2000?
NMEA 2000 (also knows as CAN bus) is a communication protocol that shares multiple data and signals through a single backbone cable. You can simply connect any
NMEA 2000 devices onto the backbone cable to expand your network on-board. With
NMEA 2000, IDs are assigned to all the devices in the network, and the status of each
sensor in the network can be detected. All the NMEA 2000 devices can be incorporated into the NMEA 2000 network. For detailed information about NMEA 2000 wiring,
see "FURUNO CAN bus Network Design Guide" (Type: TIE-00170).

2.8.3NMEA 0183 data input via IF-NMEA2K2
Note: To output NMEA 0183 data, see paragraph 2.5.1.
To connect NMEA 0183 equipment to TZT12F, use the NMEA 2000 network via the
optional NMEA data converter IF-NMEA2K2. This NMEA connection can accept a
baud rate of 4800 or 38400.
Heading input to TZT12F allows functions such as Radar Overlay and course stabilization (North up, etc.) in the radar operating modes. The NMEA 0183 heading refresh
rate needs to be 100 ms in order for any radar function to work properly. NMEA 0183
heading can be accepted via the IF-NMEA2K2 at a baud rate up to 38400 bps.
Note 1: When using the ARPA function, set the heading refresh rate to 100 ms.
Note 2: For more information on connecting and wiring IF-NMEA2K2, refer to their re-

How to align the antenna heading
You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the
heading line (zero degrees).
In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display because
of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The following adjustment will compensate for the error.

3.8How to Manage Your Charts
The TZT12F uses the same Mapmedia charts NavNet TZtouch2/3. There are two
types of charts: free and paid. When using paid charts, an unlock code is required.
3. HOW TO SET UP THE EQUIPMENT
3.8.1How to set a chart master unit
If there are multiple NavNet TZtouch series* on the network, it is recommended that
the unit whose power is always ON be set as the chartmaster. When a chartmaster is
set, the system ID is generated for the unit that is set as the chartmaster.When a chartmaster is set, a system ID is generated for the unit set as the chartmaster. The system
ID is shared by all units connected to the same network.
*: See page iii for details.
A separate chart card is required for each unit on the network, however the license(s)
and unlock code(s) can be shared. Therefore, only one unlock code is required per
vessel.
Note 1: Even if the communication with the chart master is unavailable, the paid chart
can be used up to 30 times. A notification message will appear on the screen indicating the number of usages remaining. The number of remaining usages will be reset
when communication with the chart master is restored, at which time the notification
message will also disappear.
Note 2: When two or more units share an unlock code, you need to get an unlock code
again if you change the [Chart Master Device]. For example, if the TZT12F that was
used as the “primary” ([Chart Master Device] setting: [ON]) is used as the “secondary”
([Chart Master Device] setting: [OFF]) (and vice versa), the unlock code must be reacquired.
To share the system ID and unlock code in the network, open the Home screen,
then tap [Settings]→[Initial Setup]→[ON] for [Chart Master Device]. The [System ID]
(unique to your Chart Master unit; see example figure below) is generated automatically. You will need the System ID when ordering charts from your local FURUNO
dealer.

water flow off the transom while the boat is underway.
• Mounting the sensor on the side of the transom where the
propeller blades are moving downward is preferred (Figure 1).
• Mount the sensor as close to the centerline (keel) of the boat as
possible to ensure the transducer’s face remains in the water
when the boat is turning.
Boat Types
- Single drive boat—Mount a minimum of 15cm (6") beyond
the swing radius of the propeller (Figure 1).
- Twin drive boat—Mount between the drives a minimum of
15cm (6") beyond the swing radius of the propeller.
- Trim tabs—Mount inside the trim tab, space permitting.
- Stepped transom—Mount the transducer on the lowest step.
NOTE: The side
of the transom
where propeller
blades are
moving downward
is preferred.
