WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
WARNING
If a steel tank is installed on a wooden
or FRP vessel, take appropriate
measures to prevent electrolytic
corrosion.
Electrolytic corrosion can damage the hull.
Be sure that the power supply is
compatible with the voltage rating of
the equipment.
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.
Installe the specified transducer tank
in accordance with the installation
instructions. If a different tank is to be
installed the shipyard is solely respon-
sible for its installation, and it should
be installed so the tank doesn’t strike
an object.
The tank or hull may be damaged if the
tank strikes an object.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Indicates a condition that can cause death or serious
injury if not avoided.
CAUTION
Indicates a condition that can cause minor or moderate
injury if not avoided.
Warning, Caution Mandatory Action
Prohibitive Action
Read these safety instructions before you operate the equipment.
Be sure no water leaks in at the transdu-
cer installation site.
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.
Connection of an incorrect power supply
can cause fire or equipment damage. The

water about 15 min. Consult a physician.
If the oil contacts skin, wash within soap
and water.
If the oil is ingested, see a physician
immediately.
Disposal of oil and its container
Dispose of oil and its container in
accordance with local regulations.
For further details, contact place of
purchase.
Storage
Seal container to keep out foreign
material. Store in dark place.
CAUTION
Install the monitor unit MU-100C out of
direct sunlight.
It is difficult to see the display in direct
sunlight.
Keep hands away from the raise/lower
shaft of the hull unit when it is working.
Injury to hands may result if they become
caught in the shaft.
Do not exceed 20 knots when operating
the equipment and do not exceed 15
knots when raising or lowering the
transducer.
The transducer shaft may become damaged.
The hull unit is designed to withstand ship’s
speed of 20 knots. For vessel with greater
speed, reinforce the hull unit.
The transducer tank should be mounted at
the place above the waterline. If this is
impossible, make safety provisions (ex.
construction of watertight compartment).
If there is a possibibility of vibration at the
soundome in high-speed cruising, which
creates prssure inside the tank, discuss the
problem with shipyard and hull manufacturer.

1.3 Transceiver Unit
1.3.1 General mounting considerations
• The mounting location should be well ventilated and dry.
• The unit can be mounted on a bulkhead or the deck.
• The maximum cable length between the transceiver unit and the raise/lower
drive unit is 50 m.
• The maximum cable length between the transceiver unit and the monitor
(interface) unit is 10 m.
• Keep the transceiver unit out of splash.
1.3.2 Mounting method
Fasten the transceiver unit with four self-tapping screws (5X20).
For bulkhead mounting, do as follows:
1. Tighten upper self-tapping screws so there is 5 mm clearance between
bottom of screw head and bulkhead.
2. Hook the transceiver unit on the upper screws.
3. Tighten the upper screws followed by the lower screws.

1.4 Hull Unit
NOTICE
The flange of the retraction tank
must be parallel with the waterline.
The keel of the ship may not be
parallel with the ship’s draft.
NOTICE
Install the hull unit away from the
places subject to water splash and
rain.
Fire or damage to the unit can result.
If necessary, waterproof the unit.
1.4.1 General mounting considerations
• Noise and air bubbles will affect performance.
• Do not turn on the equipment with the transducer exposed to air. Exposing the
transducer to air may damage it.
1.4.2 Installation position considerations
Discussion and agreement are required with the dockyard and ship owner in
deciding the location for the hull unit. When deciding the location, take into
account the following points:
• Select an area where propeller noise, cruising noise, bubbles and interference
from turbulence are minimal. Generally, the point at 1/3 to 1/2 of the ship’s
length from the bow or near the keel is the best. If the hull unit cannot be
installed on the keel, the center of the retraction tank should be within 1 meter
of the keel to prevent a rolling effect.
For a wooden vessel: Install the hull unit off the keel.
For other than a wooden vessel: On-the-keel installation is advantageous in
comparison with off-the-keel.

For other than a wooden vessel
• Select a place where interference from the transducers of other sounding
equipment is minimal. The hull unit should be at least 2.5 meters away from
the transducers of other sounding equipment.
• An obstacle in the fore direction not only causes a shadow zone but also
aerated water, resulting in poor sonar performance. Be sure to locate the
transducer well away from any obstacle in the fore direction.

Mounting method
A typical mounting method is shown in the outline drawing at the back of this
manual. Consult ship’s owner, dockyard and user to determine appropriate
mounting method. Pay attention to safety (strength, watertightness) first,
followed by ease of maintenance and inspection.
1.4.3 Retraction tank
Note: For installation of the retraction tank on a wooden vessel, see Appendix 1
and Appendix 2.
Tank length
Shorten the retraction tank so the transducer is lowered into water as deep as
possible. Pay particular attention to the tank length Lt. Determine the length of
the main shaft.
• Length of main shaft = Lt + 200 mm (for 400 stroke)
• Length of main shaft = Lt + 50 mm (for 250 stroke)
Note: When the retraction tank is constructed locally, finish it so that welding
beads do not protrude on the inner surface of the tank. The tank guide will
hit the bead, burning out the raise/lower motor. Also, do not position the
welding bead in the ship’s fore-aft line.

Guideline for the installation on a steel or aluminum hull
When the retraction tank is installed on a steel or aluminum hull, follow the
guideline shown below and see the outline drawing at the back of this manual.
• The flange of the retraction tank must be parallel with the waterline.
• Fit a doubling plate (a plate to reinforce the hull plate) of 600 mm or more
diameter to the outside of the hull plate (see the figure below). For the
doubling plate, use the same material and thickness as hull plate.

• If the length of the retraction tank (Li) is more than 1 m, install at least one
reinforcement rib to prevent damage of the tank and vessel by sea accident.
One reinforcement rib should be installed toward the ship’s bow (see the
figure below). It is recommended that four reinforcement ribs are installed.
• For the reinforcement ribs, fit doubling plates to the location where the
reinforcement ribs are welded to the bulkhead of the vessel (see the figure
below).
