2 TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION

Purpose

Due to the fact that several transducer types may be used with

the PI54 system, you will need to read the installation manual

for the chosen transducer. The information provided in this

chapter will only provide general i nformation. Refer to the

installation manuals provided with the transducers for more

specific information.

The PI54 can be used with maximum two transducers

simultanously, one low frequency (38 or 50 kHz) and one high

frequency (200 kHz). We recommend that any one of the

following transducers are used:

• Simrad 38-200 Combi C (dual frequency)

• Simrad 38-200 Combi D (dual frequency)

• Simrad 38-200 Combi W (dual frequency, wide beam)

Other transducers may also be used. Budget transducers

designed for leasure crafts are however not recommended for

professional fishery applications.
