Installation DL2 Doppler Speed Log System
The generally best placement on larger vessels is in the front region of the vessel just behind the
bulbous bow (see g above). This area is generally designed such that the bubbles are pushed to
either side of the bulb, leaving a clear area under the bulb and just behind. The sensor is installed in
a sea valve in order to service the sensor (clean or replace) without docking the vessel.
It is recommended (but not required) to install the sea valve in a dry area, like a bow thruster room.
This will enable easy cable access to junction box and additionally increase the lifetime of the sea
valve.
The sensor DL2 is installed into sea valve
100mm for single bottom SB-100-SB or
double bottom DB-100-SB.
Please see sea valve manual for installation
procedure.

The sensor includes 40m moulded in cable.
The cable is 11 mm in outer diameter with a
bending radius of 56 mm. The cable can be
cut or extended if required
NOTE
During physical installation of sensor into sea valve please make special care of the following points:
• Sensor to be lowered completly into bottom ange making sensor head ush with outer hull.
• Sensor forward direction to be aligned +/-10deg. (Fine adjust by software in calibration page)
• Clamping unit nuts and nut M50 to be tighten to secure sensor position.
