3. భద్రతా సమాచారం

పరికరానికి గాయం లేదా నష్టం జరగకుండా ఉండటానికి ఎల్లప్పుడూ క్రింది భద్రతా జాగ్రత్తలను గమనించండి:

• Ensure the vessel is out of the water and properly supported before beginning any thru-hull installation.
• సంస్థాపన సమయంలో భద్రతా గ్లాసెస్ మరియు చేతి తొడుగులు వంటి తగిన వ్యక్తిగత రక్షణ పరికరాలు (PPE) ధరించండి.
• Disconnect all power to the vessel's electrical system before working on wiring.
• Consult a qualified marine technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
• ఈ ఉత్పత్తిలో క్యాన్సర్ మరియు పుట్టుకతో వచ్చే లోపాలు లేదా ఇతర పునరుత్పత్తి హాని కలిగించే రసాయనాలు కాలిఫోర్నియా రాష్ట్రానికి తెలిసినవి (ప్రతిపాదన 65 హెచ్చరిక). జాగ్రత్తగా నిర్వహించండి మరియు నిర్వహించిన తర్వాత చేతులు కడుక్కోండి.

4. సంస్థాపన

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your transducer. Refer to the detailed instructions provided with your fish finder or depth sounder for specific wiring diagrams.

4.1. సైట్ ఎంపిక

• Choose a location on the hull where water flow is smooth and free from turbulence caused by propellers, keels, or other hull irregularities.
• The transducer should be mounted as far forward and as deep as possible, away from the engine and other electrical interference sources.
• Ensure there is sufficient clearance inside the hull for the transducer body, securing nut, and cable routing.

4.2. Drilling the Hole

1. Mark the chosen location on the hull.
2. Drill a pilot hole, then use a hole saw of the appropriate diameter (refer to the transducer's specific dimensions for the exact hole size) to create the thru-hull opening.
3. Carefully deburr the edges of the hole, both inside and outside the hull.
4. Apply marine sealant to the edges of the hole to prevent water intrusion.

4.3. Mounting the Transducer

1. Apply a generous bead of marine sealant around the flange of the transducer and insert it through the hull from the outside.
2. From inside the hull, slide the rubber washer and then the securing nut onto the transducer shaft.
3. Tighten the securing nut by hand until snug, then use a wrench to tighten it further, ensuring a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.

4.4. Cable Routing and Connection

• Route the 30-foot cable away from engine compartments, power cables, and other sources of electrical noise.
• Secure the cable using cable clamps or ties to prevent chafing and movement.
• Connect the 10-pin connector to the corresponding port on your Furuno fish finder or depth sounder. Ensure the connection is secure.

5. ఆపరేషన్

Once installed and connected, the transducer operates in conjunction with your Furuno display unit. Refer to your display unit's manual for specific operational settings and features.

• ఫ్రీక్వెన్సీ ఎంపిక: The 520-PLD supports both 50 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies. 50 kHz provides better depth penetration and wider beam coverage for deep water, while 200 kHz offers higher resolution and detail for shallower water and target separation. Your display unit will allow you to select or automatically switch between these frequencies.
• బీమ్ కోణాలు: The 50 kHz frequency has a 45-degree beam angle, and the 200 kHz frequency has a 15-degree beam angle. Understanding these angles helps interpret the sonar returns on your display.
• పవర్ అవుట్‌పుట్: With 600 watts of power, the transducer provides strong sonar signals for reliable depth readings and target detection.

• శుభ్రపరచడం: Periodically inspect the transducer face for marine growth, dirt, or damage. Clean the transducer face with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface.
• తనిఖీ: Check the cable for any signs of chafing, cuts, or damage. Inspect the thru-hull seal for leaks or deterioration. Address any issues promptly to prevent water intrusion or signal loss.
• Antifouling: If necessary, apply a water-based antifouling paint specifically designed for transducers to prevent marine growth. Do not use solvent-based paints as they can damage the transducer material.
