1. MOUNTING

1.1 Mounting Considerations

When selecting a mounting location for NavNet TZtouch2, keep the following in mind:

• The temperature at the mounting location shall be between -15°C and +55°C.

• The humidity at the mounting location shall be 93% or less at 40°C.

• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and ventilators.

• The mounting location should be well ventilated.

• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal (compliant with IEC 60945

Ed.4).

• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field generating equipment such as

motors and generators.

• For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufficient space around the unit and

leave slack in cables. Minimum recommended space is shown in the outline

drawing for the display units.

• Do not mount the NavNet TZtouch2 on the overhead.

• A magnetic compass will be affected if the equipment is placed too close to it.

Observe the compass safe distances shown in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS to

prevent disturbance to the magnetic compass.

• Mount the unit in a location where the internal GPS antenna can transmit and

receive GPS data without obstruction. Where this is not possible, connect the

NavNet TZtouch2 to an external GPS antenna, such as the GP-330B, via a

NMEA2000 network.

The NavNet TZtouch2 can be flush mounted in a console or panel, or mounted on a

desktop.

When removing the equipment

If the equipment is removed from the vessel, cover the connector of the cable with the

supplied cap to keep dust out of the connector.

1.2 Flush Mounting

There are two methods of flush mount installation. One method uses pilot holes to se-

cure the panel at the installation location (Method B), the other method does not use

pilot holes (Method A). The merits and demerits of each method is listed in the table

below.

Referring to the figure below, select a flat mounting location. Read the installation in-

structions before starting. Pay particular attention to the notes; failure to follow these

instructions may cause damage to the unit.

Note: Ensure the mounting location is flat, with no indents or protrusions, to allow a

secure fit.

1.2.1 Method A: Pilot holes cannot be opened.

1. Prepare a cutout in the mounting location using the template (supplied) for the

NavNet TZtouch2.

2. Fasten the wing bolts and the wing nuts of the flush mount fixture so that the pro-

tector for screw moves to the flush mount fixture.

Note: Slowly fasten the four wing bolts evenly with your hand. Do not use a tool

to fasten the wing bolts. A tool can be used to fasten the wing nuts; use caution

so as not to damage the wings or thread.

5. Set NavNet TZtouch2 to the cutout made with step 1.

6. Fasten each wing bolt so that the protector for screw touches the mounting panel.

7. Fasten the wing nuts tightly.

Note: Use of excessive torque when fastening the wing bolts can cause the flush

mount fixture to tilt or warp. Check that the flush mount fixtures and wing bolts are

not tilted or warped, referring to the following examples.

1.5 Installation of Transducers

Note: For instructions regarding installation of DFF-3D transducers, see the DFF-3D

operator’s manual.

1.5.1 How to mount a transducer through the hull

Transducer mounting location

The thru-hull mount transducer provides the best performance of all, since the

transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbulence near

the hull skin is reduced. If your boat has a keel, the transducer should be at least 30

cm away from it.

The performance of this fish finder is directly related to the mounting location of the

transducer, especially for high-speed cruising. The installation should be planned in

advance, keeping the length of the transducer cable and the following factors in mind:

• Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the boat seriously degrade the

sounding capability of the transducer. The transducer should, therefore, be located

in a position where water flow is the smoothest. Noise from the propellers also

adversely affects performance and the transducer should not be mounted nearby.

The lifting strakes are notorious for creating acoustic noise, and these must be

avoided by keeping the transducer inboard of them.

• The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the boat is rolling,

pitching or up on a plane at high speed.

• A practical choice would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of your boat's length

from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical location is generally rather far astern,

so that the transducer is always in water regardless of the planing attitude.

●

Within the wetted bottom area

●

Deadrise angle within 15°

●

Position 1/2 to 1/3 of the hull from stern.

●

15 to 30 cm off center line (inside first lifting

strakes.)

Installation procedure

1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location chosen for mounting the

transducer on the bottom of the hull.

2. If the hull is not level within 15° in any direction, fairing blocks made out of teak

should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep

the transducer face parallel with the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as

shown below and make the entire surface as smooth as possible to provide an

undisturbed flow of water around the transducer. The fairing block should be

smaller than the transducer itself to provide a channel to divert turbulent water

around the sides of the transducer rather than over its face.

3. Drill a hole just large enough to pass the threaded stuffing tube of the transducer

through the hull, making sure it is drilled vertically.

4. Apply a sufficient amount of high quality caulking compound to the top surface of

the transducer, around the threads of the stuffing tube and inside the mounting

hole (and fairing blocks if used) to ensure watertight mounting.

5. Mount the transducer and fairing blocks and tighten the locknut. Be sure that the

transducer is properly oriented and its working face is parallel to the waterline.

Note: Do not over-stress the stuffing tube and locknut through excessive tightening,

since the wood block will swell when the boat is placed in the water. It is suggested

that the nut be tightened lightly at installation and re-tightened several days after the

boat has been launched.

Transducer preparation

Before putting your boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer thoroughly with a

detergent liquid soap. This will lessen the time necessary for the transducer to have

good contact with the water. Otherwise the time required for complete "saturation" will

be lengthened and performance will be reduced.

DO NOT paint the transducer. Performance will be affected.

1.5.2 Transom mount transducer

The optional transom mount transducer is very commonly employed, usually on

relatively small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor

boat because turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer.

DO NOT over-tighten screws, to prevent damage to the transducer.

Installation procedure

A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm away from the engine and where the

water flow is smooth.

1. Drill four pilot holes for self-tapping screw (5u20) in the mounting location.

2. Coat the threads of the self-tapping screws (5x14) for the transducer with marine

sealant for waterproofing. Attach the transducer to the mounting location with the

self-tapping screws.

3. Adjust the transducer position so the transducer faces right to the bottom. If

necessary, to improve water flow and minimize air bubbles staying on the

transducer face, incline the transducer about 5° at the rear. This may require a

certain amount of experimentation for fine tuning at high cruising speeds.

4. Tape the location shown in the figure below.

5. Fill the gap between the wedge front of

the transducer and transom with ep-

oxy material to eliminate any air spac-

es.

6. After the epoxy hardens, remove the tape.

1.5.3 How to mount a transducer inside the hull

The transducer may also be installed inside the hull on FRP boats. However, this

installation method affects the ability to detect the bottom, fish and other objects

because the ultrasound pulse is weakened when it passes through the hull.

Note: This mounting method should not be used to mount the transducer that

supports the RezBoost

™

, ACCU-FISH

™

and/or bottom discrimination display feature,

since

performance is greatly degraded.

Necessary tools

The following tools are required:

Remarks on installation

Installation procedure

The attenuation of the ultrasound pulse varies with the thickness of the hull. Select a

location where attenuation is the lowest.

1. Select 2-3 locations considering the four points mentioned below.

2. Decide the most suitable site from the locations selected.

1) Connect the power cable and transducer cable to the display unit.

• Sandpaper (#100)

• Marine sealant

• Water-filled plastic bag

• Do the installation with the ship moored at a dock, etc. The water depth should be

6.5 to 32 feet (2 to 10 meters).

• Turn off the engine.

• Do not power the unit with the transducer in the air, to prevent damage to the

transducer.

• Do not use this method on a double layer hull.

• Before attaching the transducer to the hull, check that the site is suitable, by following

steps 1 to 3 in the installation procedure below.

• Mount the transducer at a location 1/2 to 1/3 of the length of your boat from the

stern.

• The mounting location is between 15 to 50 cm from the centerline of the hull.

• Do not place the transducer over hull struts or ribs which run under the hull.

• Avoid a location where the rising angle of the hull exceeds 15°, to minimize the

effect of the boat's rolling.

2) Put the transducer into water-filled plastic bag.

Press the transducer against the chosen site.

3) Tap (power switch) to turn the power on.

4) After the startup procedure completes (approx.

90 seconds), the last used display appears.

Tap the [Home] icon ( ) to

show the home screen and display mode

settings. See section 3.3 for how to use the

menu.

5) Drag the menu to show [Sounder] in the menu, then tap [Sounder].

6) Drag the [Sounder] menu to show the [SOUNDER INITIAL SETUP] menu.

7) Tap [Fish Finder Source].

8) Confirm the available fish finder from the list of available sounders, then tap

the appropriate fish finder. For the purpose of this example, the default setting

[TZTL] (internal sounder) is selected as the source.
