When handling the transducer cable,
keep in mind following points:
- Keep the cable away from oil and fuel.
- Keep the cable away from the place
where it may be damaged during the
installation.
- Do not paint the cable.
- The sheath of the transducer cable is
made of chlorophrene rubber (or vinyl
chloride). Therefore, do not paint the
sheath with organic liquid (such as
toluene) since it may harm the sheath.

WARNINGWARNING
Turn off the power at the switchboard
before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
Do not install the equipment where it
may get wet from rain or water splash.
Water in the equipment can result in fire,
electrical shock or equipment damage.
Be sure no water leaks in at the trans-
ducer mounting location.
Water leakage can sink the vessel. Also
confirm that the transducer will not loosen
by ship's vibration. 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.
Be sure that the power supply is
compatible with the voltage rating of
the equipment.
Connection of an incorrect power supply
can cause fire or equipment damage. The
voltage rating of the equipment appears
on the label above the power connector.

1.2.1 Mounting consideration
The display unit can be installed on a tabletop, on the overhead, on the bulkhead or
flush mounted in a console or panel.
When selecting a mounting location for the display unit keep the following in mind.
• Keep the display unit out of direct sunlight.
• The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as mo-
tors and generators.
• For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufficient space at the sides and
rear of the unit and leave slack in cables.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant
or contact spray to coatingor plastic
parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that
can damage coating and plastic parts,
especially plastic connectors.

1.3.1 Mounting Location
To decide the location of the transducer, the following points should be taken into ac-
count.
• The most important matter is where the transducer is installed. The position should
be free from aeration possibly occurring beneath the hull and also not affected by
engine and propeller noise.
• It is known that air bubble streams start approximately from a quarter length from
the bow, and spreads over the hull bottom approximately to three quarters. Air bub-
ble streams vary in form and intensity according to ship's speed, draught, trim,
shape of bow and hull, as well as sea state.
• In a laden ship, a position somewhere near a quarter of the ship's length from the
stern often gives satisfactory results. As for vessels such as oil tankers whose fore
draught is especially shallow, an after position about three quarters of ship's length
from the stern is often suitable.
• It is recommended to install the transducer on the keel line or between 600 mm and
900 mm from the keel to minimize the effect of aerated water.
• Sitting near obstructions such as the forward propeller, bow thruster, water intake
pipes and speed log sensor should be avoided
• Select a place giving minimum mechanical vibration.
• Do not lay the transducer cable near or in parallel with other electric cables.
1.3.2 Example of Transducer Installation (TTF-5600)
Note: Never fail to remove the transducer and rubber gasket prior to welding the trans-
ducer tank to the hull.
1. Install the transducer tank on the hull. The tank bottom should be flush with the
hull bottom. Feed the transducer cable through the cable gland.
2. Apply sealing tape to the threads of the gland nut for watertightness.
3. Pass the cable thru the gasket, washer and gland nut.
4. Fix the transducer to the tank with the transducer fixing flange.
5. Coat the gland nut with silicone grease.
6. Tighten the gland nut.
7. It is recommended to enclose the transducer cable in a conduit pipe for water-
proofness and electrical shielding as well as for protecting the cable from me-
chanical damage. The conduit pipe should be fixed to the flange on the
transducer tank. The pipe should be of such a length to clear the water level
when the ship is fully loaded. The pipe end should be finished with filling com-
pound. It is recommended to fill the pipe with sand between the transducer and

1. MOUNTING

the junction box (or matching box). This will protect the transducer from vibration
and damage.
1.4 Distribution Box
A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the distribution box. Ob-
serve the following compass safe distance to prevent disturbance to the magnetic
compass.
• Standard compass: 1.00 meter
• Steering compass: 0.65 meters
Fasten the distribution box with four tapping screws (6x30) referring to the outline
drawing at the end of this manual.

1.5 Matching Box
The matching box should be selected depending on the transducer type;
• 50B-6B transducer: MB-502
• 200B-8B transducer: MB-504
Fasten the matching box with four Trapping screws (6x20: local supply). Compass
safe distances are as follows; standard compass: 0.50 m, Steering compass: 0.40 m.
1.6 Digital Depth Indicator FE-720 (option)
The indicator can be installed on a tabletop, on the overhead. Refer to outline draw-
ings at the end of this manual for installation instructions. When selecting a mounting
location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Locate the unit away from equipment which generates electromagnetic fields such
as a motor or generator.
• Allow sufficient maintenance space at the sides and rear of the unit and leave suf-
ficient slack in cables, to facilitate maintenance and servicing.
• Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic
compass. Standard compass: 0.50 m, Steering compass: 0.40 m.
1. Fasten the hanger with four self-tapping screws (5x20).
2. Fasten the digital depth indicator to the hanger with two knobs.
< Flush mounting >
There are two types of flush mount kits, F type and S type. For details, see the outline
diagrams at the back of this manual.

1.7 Transducer Switch Box EX-8 (option)
If two transducers are installed, the transducers switch box is required. Locate the
transducer switch box near the display unit considering length of the interconnection
cable. Select the bright place where the panel of equipment can be watched. Use only
the screws supplied on the terminal inside to make connections. Use of other screws
may cause a short circuit. Compass safe distances are as follows; standard compass:
1.00 m, Steering compass: 0.60 m.
1.8 Gate Valve GV-50B-6B, GV-200B-8B (option)
Assemble the Gate Valve as shown below. Refer to the drawing at the end of this man-
ual.
1. Disassemble the gate valve assembled tentatively: spacer, gasket1, gate valve,
gasket 2, seachest cap and shaft assembly.
When assembling the gate valve, use original washers, bolts and nuts. Keep the
bottom of the seachest cap and the shaft free of dust and be careful not to damage
them.
2. Weld the spacer to the hull bottom.
The hull side of the spacer should be flush with the hull bottom. Be careful not to
damage the side fixed to the gate valve.
3. Clean the side of the spacer to be fixed to the gate valve.
4. Grease (supplied) both sides of the gasket 1 and the inner side of the spacer.
Place the gasket 1 onto the spacer.
5. Clean the flange side of the gate valve, and place it on the gasket 1. The scale
side of the gate valve should be up.
