INSTALLING AN ECHO SOUNDER SENSOR. NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE STRONGER REGULATOR!

Installing an echo sounder sensor. Often, for fishermen and lovers of outdoor activities on the water, the presence of an echo sounder is an integral part of their equipment. It allows you to determine the depth of the water, detect fish and even track its movement. However, for the fish finder to work at its best. Its sensor must be installed correctly. The first step when installing an echo sounder transducer is to select a suitable location on the hull of the boat. It is recommended to choose a location. Where the sensor will be under water even with a slight rocking of the vessel. Also need to be taken into account. That the sensor should be installed in an area with minimal interference from moving parts of the vessel. For example, a propeller or a rudder. https://strongermarine.com/yakor-dlya-alyumynyyevoj-lodky/

No more problems with the STRONGER regulator! https://strongermarine.com/product_category/%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b3%d1%83%d0%bb%d1%8f%d1%82%d0%be%d1%80-%d0% b4%d0%b0%d1%82%d1%87%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%b0-%d1%8d%d1%85%d0%be%d0%bb%d0%be%d1%82 %d0%b0/ Our company has planned to release a number of new products in 2020. And many of them are already ready for mass production. But that’s how the circumstances turned out. That some companies from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine have decided to counterfeit our products with impunity. It is possible to protect your rights to your own inventions only by patenting your own inventions. Well, for registration and approval of the patent. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time, especially in other countries. Therefore, the timing of the release of new products has shifted significantly in time. But today we have finally received another patent from Russia. For a utility model of a regulator for a transducer sensor. https://strongermarine.com/regulyator-polozhenyya-transdyusera-eholota/

And so about the device itself and why it is needed. https://strongermarine.com/eholot/

INSTALLING AN ECHO SOUNDER SENSOR. WITH THE STRONGER REGULATOR, NOW EVERYTHING HAS BECOME SIMPLE!

This device is designed to raise/lower and adjust the correct tilt angle of the echo sounder transducer. This is necessary for accurate display of echolocation data. In cases of different trim of the boat, to the stern or to its bow. To display data correctly. The transducer must be strictly parallel to the water surface (horizon). Almost all echolocation manufacturers recommend installing their transducers this way. In this case, the reflected signal received is named. It will display information on the screen of your device most correctly!

Installing an echo sounder sensor. Why unnecessary torment from a task that cannot be completed once and forever! The figure above shows options for transducer tilt angles, as well as options for drawing fish on the echo sounder screen. The top two pictures show the wrong position of the transducer. This position of the sensor is possible either due to incorrect initial installation. Or in the case of a longitudinal trim to the stern or to the bow of the boat (more often – to the stern). Only in the case when the sensor is located strictly parallel to the horizon. The information on the screen of your echo sounder is displayed clearly and without distortion (bottom picture). But a similar situation occurs with drawing the bottom of a reservoir. If the position of the transducer sensor is incorrect. The real picture is very distorted on the screen of your device. Therefore, it is very important to achieve the correct transducer angle!

WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE ECHO SOUNDER SENSOR DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION?

Installing an echo sounder sensor is really not easy! The boat, depending on the number of passengers, the cargo placed on it, as well as its weight and location, is susceptible to longitudinal axial roll (pitch). Which in turn can be directed both to the bow and to the stern of the boat. As a result, a standard installed sensor does not always display information correctly in different situations. https://strongermarine.com/avtomatycheskyj-regulyator-ugla-naklona-datchyka-eholota/

Our device is aimed specifically at being able to remotely electronically precisely adjust the angle of inclination of the transducer.

There are currently two adjustment options. This is an option using manual adjustment. The panel is shown below.

And an automatic adjustment option. The electronics unit is also shown in the photo below.

You can read more about the automatic version on this page: https://strongermarine.com/products/blok-avtomatycheskoj-regulyrovky-ugla-goryzonta-dlya-regulyatora-%d1%8dholota-pro/

ATTACHING THE TRANSDUCER TO THE STRONGER REGULATOR

To attach the sensor to the regulator, you need to drill holes in the regulator plate to match the location of the transducer mounting holes, as shown in the figure below:

After installing the regulator on the stern of the boat. You need to initially set the sensor according to the recommendations of the echo sounder manufacturer. In the future, all adjustments and adjustments of the sensor to real conditions will occur remotely. From where you control your boat.

Installation of the regulator itself is carried out according to the same principle as the usual mounting of the transducer on the stern of the boat. It is important that the regulator and sonar sensor do not protrude beyond the edges of the boat. And thus did not create additional interference in his work.

CONTROL OF THE STRONGER REGULATOR

By briefly pressing (1 sec.) the (MAN) buttons, you can adjust the angle of the sensor. With an installation accuracy of up to 2 degrees with one click on the up or down arrow button. This will allow you to find the optimal, most precise transducer angle position. Which, accordingly, will help you get the most accurate information on the screen of your echo sounder.

INSTALLING A FISH FINDER SENSOR – EVERYTHING USEFUL IN THIS ARTICLE!

If you are fishing alone, or with the same team. You use almost the same load weight and place it in the same places. While maintaining the same longitudinal trim of the boat, use the button (M) by pressing and holding for 7-8 seconds. You can fix for yourself the so-called “favorite position” of the transducer sensor angle. In this case, you can always return to your “favorite position”. After any manipulations with the device, simply briefly (1 second) press the button (M), and the device will automatically set the transducer sensor to your “favorite position”. Which was previously stored in memory. Even if the power from the device control unit is disconnected. Information about the “favorite position” is stored in the device’s non-volatile memory. Until the next time you change this “favorite position”.

POSSIBILITY OF RAISING THE TRANSDUCER OF THE ECHO SOUNDER

During long high-speed transitions. And also while the boat is parked. Or in the case of installing a boat on a carriage. You can raise the transducer to its maximum height, almost parallel to the stern of the boat. And thereby remove unnecessary resistance of the echo sounder sensor to the water. Prevent algae from fouling the transducer when it is not in use. And also prevent damage to the sensor when colliding with water obstacles or the bottom of a reservoir. When the boat approaches the shore with its stern, as well as in shallow water.

In the picture above is a device that will allow you to “Installing an echo sounder sensor” as simply as possible and with maximum benefit from future use!

Also, lifting the transducer sensor is very important at the time of loading and further transporting the boat on a carriage. To do this, you press the up arrow key of the button group (AUTO) and the sensor will automatically rise up to its final position.

SEALING OF THE ECHO SOUNDER TRANSDUCER

The device is completely sealed. The control unit can be made in two versions: budget and top-end. In the budget version, control is carried out by a three-position button without the possibility of precision adjustment of the installation angle of the transducer sensor. https://strongermarine.com/transdyuser-eholota/

And in the top version, control is carried out using a multifunctional control panel with an LED indicator of the position of the transducer sensor, which is installed on the dashboard of the boat. https://strongermarine.com/regulyator-transdyusera-eholota-stronger/

Installing an echo sounder sensor. We hope that we were able to give you a way to resolve this issue. Do not use the device when the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees. This may lead to leakage and damage to the device.

This device is undergoing the patent process in many countries, including Ukraine, Russia, and EU countries. https://strongermarine.com/yakornaya-lebedka-na-kater/

We hope that with this device, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts will be able to improve their fishing experience and their safety on the water, thanks to the clear information they can receive from their fish finder or scanner structures! And of course, significantly save your budget on the purchase of new transducers!  https://www.weekender.ua/
