Selecione um local no painel de popa que seja:
- Free from obstructions (e.g., propellers, strakes, other transducers).
- In an area of smooth water flow, minimizing turbulence.
- Accessible for installation and maintenance.
4.2 Instalação Física
- Position the transom mount bracket on the selected location. Ensure the bottom of the transducer will be slightly below the hull line when deployed.
- Marque os furos para a broca usando o suporte como gabarito.
- Drill pilot holes. Apply marine sealant to prevent water intrusion.
- Secure the transom mount bracket to the boat using the provided mounting hardware.
- Attach the transducer to the bracket. Adjust the angle so the transducer face is parallel to the waterline.

5. Instruções de operação
The Active Imaging 3-In-1 Transducer combines multiple sonar technologies to provide a comprehensive view do ambiente subaquático.
5.1 Sonar Frequencies and Modes
- Med/High CHIRP: Provides traditional sonar views for fish arches and bottom tracking.
- SideScan: Offers wide, high-resolution views of structure and fish to the sides of your boat.
- DownScan: Delivers picture-like views of structure and fish directly below your boat.
Refer to your Lowrance display unit's manual for detailed instructions on selecting and optimizing these sonar modes.
6. Manutenção
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your transducer.
- Limpeza: Periodically clean the transducer face with mild soap and water to remove marine growth, dirt, or oil. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspeção: Regularly inspect the transducer cable for cuts, kinks, or damage. Check the mounting bracket for looseness or corrosion.
- Winterização: If operating in freezing conditions, ensure the transducer is not exposed to ice formation, which can cause damage.
7. Solução De Problemas
Se você tiver problemas com seu transdutor, considere os seguintes problemas comuns e suas soluções:
| Problema | Possível causa | Solução |
|---|---|---|
| Sem leitura de sonar | Loose connection, power issue, transducer not submerged. | Check cable connections, verify power to display unit, ensure transducer is in water. |
| Poor or Intermittent Imaging | Air bubbles, marine growth, incorrect mounting angle, electrical interference. | Clean transducer face, adjust mounting angle, check for sources of electrical noise, reposition transducer if necessary. |
| SideScan/DownScan Not Working | Incorrect display unit settings, damaged transducer element. | Verify sonar settings on your display unit. If problem persists, contact support. |
For persistent issues, consult your Lowrance display unit's manual or contact Lowrance customer support.
