2 INSTALLATION PLANNING

Note For installation in a previously installed trunk system, first read

the information about sonar room requirements. Then, for an

already installed SQ4, SR240 or SP270 trunk system, proceed to

the Hull Unit installation description.

→ Sonar room requirements are described on page 25.

→ Installation of the hull unit is described on page 34.

2.1 General

This chapter provides the marine engineers responsible the

information necessary to plan and install the sonar’s Hull Unit

according to Simrad’s requirements.

Correct installation of the sonar transducer is vital to the system’s

performance. Several variables must be taken into consideration,

the most important of which is the vessel’s construction. This

guide is for use in selecting the best location for the transducer and

includes a brief description of areas to be avoided.

Note Note that installation drawings must be supplied by the shipyard.

The installation must be approved by the vessel’s national registry

and corresponding maritime authority and/or classification

society. The shipowner and shipyard performing the installation

are responsible for obtaining and paying for installation approval.

Simrad offers free advice for installation planning. Proposed

arrangements may be sent for commentary or suggestions supplied

by Simrad. The following drawings should be submitted should

assistance be requested:

• General arrangement

• Body plan and drawings of relevant bottom tanks and

coffer-dams

• Lines plan
