Turn off the power at the switchboard
before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
For wooden or FRP vessel using a
steel tank, attach a zinc plate to the
hull to prevent electrolytic corrosion.
Electrolytic corrosion can, in the worst
case, result in loss of the transducer.
Install the transducer according to the
installation instructions.
Failure to install the transducer correctly
may result in water leakage and damage
to the ship’s hull.
Be sure no water leaks in at the
transducer mounting location.
Water leakage can sink the vessel. Also,
confirm that vibrations will not loosen the
transducer. The installer of the equipment
is solely responsible for the proper
installation of the equipment. FURUNO
will assume no responsibility for any
damage associated with improper
installation.
Use the proper cable and fuse.
Use of an incorrect cable and fuse can
damage the equipment and cause fire.
Do not transmit with the transducer
out of water.
The transducer may become damaged.
Observe the following compass safe
distance to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass:

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION
The transducer cable must handled
carefully, following the guidelines
below.
- Keep the cable away from oil and fuels.
- Keep the cable away from locations
where it may be damaged during the
installation.
- Do not paint the cable.
The cable sheath is made of chloro-
prene or vinyl chloride, which are easily
damaged by plastic solvents such as
toluene. Locate the cables away from
plastic solvents.
- Do not shorten the transducer cable.
- Do not carry the transducer using only
the cable.
The cable may become damaged or
disconnected.
Do not cover the transducer with FRP
resin.
The heat generated when the resin
hardens may damage the transducer.
Do not install the transducer on the
inner side of the hull.
The signal strength is reduced and may
affect the accuracy of measurements.

4. Fasten each wing bolt until the protector for the screw is firm against the mounting
panel.
5. Fasten each wing nut tightly to secure the unit.
1.4 Transducer
The performance of the fish finder depends on the transducer position. When select-
ing a mounting location, keep in mind following points.
• A place least affected by air bubbles should be selected since turbulence blocks the
sounding path.
• Select a place least influenced by engine noise.
• Install the transducer face parallel to the sea surface.
It is known that air bubbles are fewest at the place where the bow first falls and the
next wave raises, at usual cruising speed. In small, slow-speed boats, the position be-
tween 1/2 and 2/3 of the ship’s length from the bow is usually a good place.

• Do not cover the transducer with FRP resin.
The heat generated when the resin hardens may
damage the transducer.
• Do not install the transducer on the inner side
of the hull.
The signal strength is reduced and may affect the
accuracy of measurements.

1.5 DVI/USB Repeater (Option)
To extend the distance between the display unit and the processor unit/USB device,
use the optional DVI/USB repeater. Cable extension without the repeater can result in
signal loss and incorrect data display.
The DVI/USB repeater has two units, one transmitter unit and one receiver unit. The
following figure shows the general connection for the DVI/USB repeater.
The processor unit can be installed on a deck or bulkhead. Cable connection is slightly
different between transmitter and receiver unit. For this reason, it is important that you
identify each unit before mounting. The following table and figure show how to identify
the units.
