[CA] [CA11] ID transducer RV-100/HV-100

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum WGL1953,

Q1. Element HV package and transducer labels appear to indicated that the product is supplied with a RV-100 transducer.
A1) Hornet was the internal program name given to the Element Program. This name should have been removed from any product labeling prior to its introduction. Unfortunately, it appears that this was missed from some of the labeling. Likewise, the transducer label's reference to RV-100 is incorrect and should have stated HV-100. A80549 is indeed the correct part number for the HV-100 transducer and you should find that the transducer will mate directly to the Element HV display's transducer socket. RV transducers will not mate to the Element HV display's transducer, as the shape of the plugs differ. These production labeling issues have been identified to the product manager responsible for the Element program and is expected to be corrected accordingly. Please accept our apology for the confusion / concern which this may have caused you.

Q2. Also during Initial startup, first power up, will the MFD, Element 9, allow me to choose a Hornet RV transducer, RV-100, or just choose HV-100 and be done with it?
A2. No transducer selection is required, as only HV transducers are compatible with Element HV displays. Similarly, no transducer selection is required for Element S displays, as only CPT-S transducers are compatible with Element HV displays.
