and necessary materials. When KDS-6000BB is shipped from the factory with a standard, the length of the TD
tank and TD shaft are set as follows:
TD tank: 1230 mm (Standard)
TD shaft: 1411 mm (Standard)
1.5.1 Installation location of Hull unit
(1) Select a location the least influenced from air bubbles, interference or noise. When standard TD tank is installed with shortened length, the TD shaft length should
be processed at least
Install the Hull unit on the keel within the range of 1/3 to 1/2 of the overall length from
the bow. TD tank length (Lt) + 181 mm
Alternatively, install the unit so that the center of TD tank positions within 1 m from the
center of the keel.
Install the unit so that the Flange comes above the draft at full load.

1.5.5 Assembly of Hull unit

(1) Necessary length of TD shaft
When the installed TD tank is shorter than the standard length, the TD shaft length
should be also shortened.
TD tank: 1230 mm (Standard)
TD shaft: 1411 mm (Standard)
When standard TD tank is installed with shortened length, the TD shaft length should be
processed at least
Necessary length of TD shaft = TD tank length (Lt) + 181 mm

(2) Processing of TD shaft

Apply FRP sufficiently to
all the necessary
sections to prevent
leakage of water.
When the TD tank with a standard length is installed, there is no need to process the
TD shaft.
1. Cut the TD shaft to
TD tank length (Lt) + 181 mm .
Burr and smoothen
2. Burr the cutoff portion and finish it with 1 mm

3. Make 4 holes of 3.4 mm diameter at 90 apart
around the TD shaft 5 mm down from the cutoff
M4 tapping surface, and provide M4 tapping.

Fig. 1.14 Processing of TD shaft

When the length of a TD tank has been shortened, the TD shaft is cut off as shown
above to be used. If there is enough space above the installed location, the TD shaft
can be used without cutting off.

3) Attaching the Transducer unit to the Hull unit. 4) Attaching the shaft cap to the end of the TD shaft
Apply grease to the bearing of the Flange and the inside of the waterproof nut. Insert the shaft cap into the end of the TD shaft, temporarily tighten with the Cap

6) Hull unit and TD tank attachment
Insert a Flange GUM packing for a flange between the Hull unit and the TD tank,
fasten the Hull unit to the TD tank with 8 pcs of attached Hexagon bolts (M16 x 55) .
When clamping bolts for fitting the Hull unit to the TD tank, make tentative clamp
and try to move the Transducer unit up and down for several times to confirm the
alignment when making the final clamping evenly at the position of smooth vertical
movement.
(4) Adjustment of hoisting and lowering stroke
By adjustment of the lower limit switch as shown below, the hoisting and lowering stroke
of the Transducer unit can be changed from min. 150 mm to max. 380 mm.
To lower the Transducer unit to an approximate position, please adjust the unit with this
lower limit switch.
When the limit switch is raised, please fix the wires by ANP base and the binding bands
attached so as to prevent the wires from touching with the hoist gears.

Caution

Please apply grease to the gear of Hull
