Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a normal installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver Connect the equipment into an output on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help A shielded cable must be used when connecting a peripheral to the serial ports.

It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use Navman’s transducers in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing safe boating practices. Transducer installation: The choice, location, angle and installation of the transducer is the most critical part of installation. If installation is not correct, the unit can not perform at its designed potential. If in doubt, consult your Navman dealer. Ensure that any holes that cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder.

2-1 Positioning a through hull transducer

This transducer will be fitted in a hole drilled in the bottom of the boat. Select a position for the transducer that has a smooth flow of clear water over the transducer surface at all times. This means that the transducer should be ahead of any keel, hull projections, hull openings, paddle wheel transducers, propellers or propeller wash. If the bottom of the boat is painted and the boat has been used, do not mount the transducer where the paint is eroded (an indication of turbulence).

Planing or displacement boat

Suitable locations for transducer

In addition, position the transducer: as close to the middle line of the hull as possible and as deep as possible where the deadrise angle is small with sufficient space inside the hull for access and wiring so that it will not interfere with launching or retrieving the boat

Ideally a depth transducer should be fitted so that its axis is vertical, however it can be up to 15° off vertical.

2-2 Installing a through hull transducer

Select a suitable position for the transducer (see section 2-1).

If the hull panel is too thin or the panel might not be strong enough, consider fitting a reinforcing pad on the inside of the hull. Find the hole size required for the transducer from the table above. Drill or cut the hole in the hull. The hole must be perpendicular to the hull surface. For an insertable transducer: i remove the locking nut or pin rom the fitting ii pull the transducer out from the hull fitting iii unscrew the nut from the hull fitting.

Insertable transducer

Remove locking nut or pin

For a fixed transducer: i unscrew the nut from the hull fitting ii hold the nut just inside the hole in the hull iii feed most of the transducer cable through the hole in the hull (from the outside) and through the nut.

Apply a thick layer of flexible bedding compound (such as Sikaflex) to the

NAVMAN Through hull & In-hull transducer installation manual

hull fitting on the inside face of the flange and on the exterior threads where they pass through the hull.

5 Insert the hull fitting into the hull from outside. For a speed/temperature transducer, rotate the fitting until the arrow on the outside lip points forward to within 5°. 6 Fit and tighten the nut on the hull fitting. For a plastic fitting, hand-tighten the nut and do not over tighten. For a bronze fitting, tighten with slip-joint pliers. Tighten the nut until excess bedding compound is squeezed out from under the nut and the face of the hull fitting. Remove the excess bedding compound. 7 For a speed/temperature transducer, check that the arrow on the hull fitting still points forward. 8 For an insertable transducer: i ensure there is a thin layer of silicone grease or O-ring lubricant on the transducer O-rings ii insert the transducer back into the hull fitting, rotating the transducer so that the arrow on the transducer mates with the notch on the fitting iii replace the locking nut or pin. 9 Wait for the bedding compound to dry. 10 Before leaving the boat unattended, check that there is no water ingress from around the transducer.

One in-hull transducer is available, a depth transducer. Part # - Europe Part # - Rest of World Material Connector Max. hull thickness Cable length

In-hull depth transducers are only suitable for solid GRP hulls up to ¾" (20 mm) thick, without air pockets, beads or voids. They are not suitable for wooden, metal or sandwich hulls. Compared to other types of transducer, in-hull depth transducers generally have lower performance because power is absorbed in the hull.

3-1 Positioning an in-hull transducer

This transducer will be glued to the inside of the bottom of the boat. Select a position for the transducer that has a smooth flow of clear water under the transducer at all times. This means that the transducer should be ahead of any keel, hull projections, hull openings, paddle wheel transducers, propellers or propeller wash. If the bottom of the boat is painted and the boat has been used, do not mount the transducer where the paint is eroded (an indication of turbulence).

Planing or displacement boat

Suitable locations for transducer

In addition, position the transducer: as close to the middle line of the hull as possible and as deep as possible with sufficient space inside the hull for access and wiring where the inside surface of the hull is flat and smooth and there will be no gaps between the face of the transducer and the hull.

The face of the transducer is angled. When fitting the transducer, rotate the transducer so that the axis of the transducer is as close to vertical as possible. No

Ideally the transducer should be rotated so that its axis is vertical, however it can be up to 15° off vertical.

3-2 Installing an in-hull depth transducer

Select a suitable position for the transducer and establish how the transducer should be rotated so that the axis is as vertical as possible (see section

2-1). Test the transducer at this position with the boat in the water before mounting it permanently: i Partially fill a thin plastic bag with water, place the transducer inside and close it tightly around the cable with a tie-wrap. ii Install the depth instrument as described in the instrument’s Installation and Operation manual. iii Wet the surface of the hull and press the transducer against the inside of the hull where you plan to mount the transducer. iv Check that the instrument measures depth correctly and consistently, up to the maximum depth specified for the instrument. If necessary, move the bag around the hull to find the best position. Choose an adhesive or sealant to glue the transducer to the hull. Hard epoxies transmit the transducer signals best but temperature changes and hull flexing can cause delamination. As a compromise, use a viscous slow cure, fairly rigid epoxy or Sikaflex 252 sealant.

Through hull & In-hull transducer installation manual

NAVMAN Ensure the inside of the hull where the transducer will be mounted is flat.

Clean, degrease and dry: the inside of the hull where the transducer will be mounted the sloping face of the transducer Fit the transducer: i Apply the epoxy or sealant to the middle of the transducer face. ii Press the transducer into place on the hull. iii Twist the transducer back and forth to expel any trapped air and to expel as much glue as possible from the joint. The finished joint should be as thin as possible and not contain any air bubbles. Leave the transducer rotated to the correct angle. iv Temporarily secure the transducer in place with tape and wait for the glue to cure for 24 hours. Glue
