When installing Raymarine RV transducers, you must be sure to observe the following:
RealVision 3D™ transducers ensure maximum sonar image detail and accuracy only when correctly installed. In addition to the official installation guide, be sure to follow these principles:
1. Choose the correct power supply
Do not connect Axiom RV, Axiom Pro RVX and RVX1000 sonar devices to the helm. The sound generated when the engine starts A power surge can cause the sonar image to disappear, which disrupts the device's operation and navigation.
2. Avoid installation locations that create turbulence
The floor covering must not be installed in the vicinity of air intakes, protruding parts or other obstructions, which cause Turbulence and air bubbles – these affect sonar image quality.
3. Precise and symmetrical installation is critical
-
The hardware must be installed exactly parallel, the same distance from the stern of the boat.
-
If one sensor is ahead of or behind another, The picture of the sonar shifts..
-
Andurite The lateral distance must not exceed 2 metres. (preferably up to 1 metre on either side of the wedge).
4. Depth below the waterline
The doors must be installed at least 300 mm below the water line – during the journey to ensure continuous water contact.
5. Effect of magnetic fields on the AHRS system
On the RV-anduritel Integrated AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference Sensor), stabilises the sonar image.
-
Avoid installation metal and components with strong electromagnetic radiation nearby (e.g. engine blocks, inverters, chargers, electrical panels).
-
When necessary Turn off the AHRS function from the menu, if it doesn't work properly due to interference.
