NKF-770 Transducer replacement procedures by using diver
1. DIVER WORK Start
1. Remove putty from eight mounting bolt (M8X20)
holes.
Remove putty
2. Remove three mounting bolts and put the
threaded rods (M8, L=500mm) instead of three
bolts. Put M8 nuts and fasten until the surface of
the mounting plate to prevent falling the
mounting plate with transducer.

3. Remove the rest of five bolts (M8X20) and pull
down the mounting plate and transducer with
loosening bolts.

5. Remove Transducer;
Disconnect the cable-side connector and
transducer-side connector.
Note; Do not apply the force to the cable.
Do not hang the transducer to the cable to
avoid the disconnection.
It might be tight and difficult to
disconnect the connector of the
Mounting plate transducer from the cable,
however please be careful not to
cut it.

6. Put the New transducer on the mounting plate.
Note; Do not hang the transducer cable.

Connect the connector (transducer-
side) and the connector(cable-side)
without gap.
8. Store the transducer in the tank and fix the mounting
plate with bolts. Keep the transducer cable round
inside the tank as indicated in the figure.
BOW MARK: Transducer Tank
9. The transducer has a direction. Adjust the BOW
MARK on the transducer to the BOW MARK on the
tank.
Install under an angle of +/-3 degrees to the
bow-stern direction.

10. After completion of storing the transducer in the
tank and fixing the mounting plate with bolts, fill the
polyester putty in the bolt holes.
Fill the polyester putty to make flat the ship’s bottom.
Fill the polyester putty in the eight bolt holes.
PUTTY: Please mingle with A (Blue cover) and B (Black cover)
equivalently when you use it.
11. After completion of the work until step 10, confirm
the BOW MARK position and the status of the
polyester putty filling and take a picture of these
status.
12. Report the completion of work which installs the
TRANSDUCER to onboard worker.

TRANSDUCER CABLE CHECK PROCEDURES
TRANSDUCER CABLE CAPACITANCE & INSULASION RESISTANCE
The purpose of capacity measurement is to examine if the transducer cable is disconnected or
damaged to the point of affecting its functions.
＊Make sure to use the Multi Mater with a capacitance measuring function (such as Sanwa
Multitester PC-5000 [Digital Multi Mater]).
The figures (Farad) in the table below correspond to the longest Transducer cable (40 meters).
There will be reduction in capacitance as the length of the cable having been made shorter.
Measuring Procedures
1. Remove the cable off the Terminal TB3 on the Signal Processor (NJC-24) and measure
capacitance. Refer to the third column “Cable+Transducer_[F]” in the table below for
the capacitance figures.
2. Compare between the figures of the four transducer elements, TD1, TD2, TD3, and TD4, and
if any of the figures stand out in difference, some problem with the cable may be suspected.
3. Capacitance decreases when the cable is being cut off halfway across. For example, 1.50nf
determined capacity means that the cable may be cut off at about 20 meters off the Signal
Processor (Again this corresponds to the 40 meter-cable).
