Installationonatowedbody
Transducersdesignedtowithstandlargewaterpressureare providedforuseintowedbodies.Therecommendedinstallation methodisthroughthehullplatinghullusingmountingand clampingrings.Theinstallationarrangementonthetowedbody mustbedesignedbythemanufacturerofthetowedbodytot itsshapeandcharacteristics.
Usemountingandclampingringswhenever provided
Circulartransducersmaybeprovidedwithmountingand clampingrings,orwithdrawingstoallowforlocalproductionof these.Themountingringisweldedtotheholeinthetowedarray, whiletheclampingringtsaroundtheedgeofthetransducer body.Boltsthroughtheclampingringintothemountingringwill thensecurethetransducerbetweenthem.Notethatallsplit-beam transducersusedirectionguidestoallowcorrectmounting.
Smoothsurfaceisimportant
Mountingscrewsorboltsmustnotbeextrudingfromthevehicle. Ensurethatthesurfaceofthetransducerface,thevehicle,the vehicleplatingandputtyaroundthetransducerisasevenand smoothaspossible.Obstructionsonthesesurfaceswillcreate problemswiththewaterow.
