9.7.2 Determining the position for the transducers
The EQXX is a sophisticated piece of electronic equipment, but how well it will
perform under actual operating conditions will be largely dependent upon the
location of the transducer and how it has been installed.
Careful consideration, therefore, must be given to selecting the mounting location
and on deciding the method of installation that best suits the vessel.
Air bubbles and turbulence caused by the vessel’s movement through the water
will seriously degrade the transducer’s performance. Therefore the transducer
should be located well clear of any water intake or discharge line and also clear
of any projection along the hull line which might disturb the smooth flow of
water.
