2 A.6 Grounding The Echo Sounder
One very important requirement in installation of shipboard electronics
is to obtain the cleanest, noise-free environment possible so each piece of
electronic equipment can work to its best performance levels. This require-
ment isaccomplished byassuringaproper connection from each equipment
to the ship’s RF ground system. The ground provides a drain for shipboard
noise transmission and pickup.
A separate ground wire of # 10 or # 12 AWG (# 10 recommended) should
be connected from the ground screw marked “E”on the rear of the unit to
the nearest connection point of the ship’s ground system.
Normally,on a steel hull boa&a good clean connection to the hullprovides
a sufficient ground. On a fiberglass or wood hull, connection to a ground
plate or to the engine block and other bonded groundwork should be
acceptable.
