2. CHOICE OF HULL EQUIPMENT
1. According to vessel tonnage
- Hull-fittings with valve (65.1 RVI - 65.1 RVB)

. Are used on all types of vessels
- Hull-fittings without valve (Lens – Diver type)

are used on all types of vessels + double hull vessels.
2. Hull fitting cannot be used in dangerous compartments (fuel, hydrocarbons,

chemicals).
3. Check hull strength before installating hull fitting.
4. Hull fitting must be installed in compliance with the specifications of the

vessel classification company.
5. Power supply wiring must comply with the specifications of the vessel
classification company.
Probe location
The probe measures the water speed along the hull. This speed is always lower
than the vessel real speed because the water friction along hull creates a water
drag. The water drag thickens up from fore to aft. The measured speed gets near
real speed afore the vessel because of the hull profile, hydrodynamic penetration
coefficient is minimum in the fore.
Speed distribution does not depend on fouling of the hull located in the boundary
layer. Therefore, the ratio of the vessel real speed over measured speed is
constant.
The probe must be located near the bow, as far forward as possible. It must
always remain immerged even in stormy weather.
If the probe emerges occasionally, this can cause a short disturbance which
doesn't affect the total distance information).
99MU001-C - 8
In order to protect the probe against docking maneuvers, it is recommended to
weld two strips on both sides of the probe close to the hull-casing flanges. Their
dimensions will be calculated depending on the desired protection. This strips can
be protected in order not to interfere with the flow.
The line joining the electrodes of the probe must be perpendicular to the vessels
longitudinal axis.
For vessels with a bulge bow, the area located within distance equal to twice the
height of the bulge can be disturbed. The probe must be preferably located in the
bulge. When it is not possible to install the probe up front, it is recommended to
fix it where interferences are the lowest as defined during requirement tests.
For special installation cases, please contact an BEN Marine certified agent.
Make sure that the hull fitting is quickly and easily accessible. Cargo holds cannot
be considered as accessible because of stored goods.
General rules for probe installation
Before proceeding or drilling, etc. make sure that there is room enough for
retraction of the probe and vital service work.
If the hull plating is not flat enough at the selected area, it is necessary to flatten
the hull or fit a flattened hull reinforcement.
Welding the hull casing to the hull requires special care.
For welding to a carbon steel hull, use electrodes in austenitic alloy : 24 % CR, 12
% NI, 3 % Mo or 20 % CR, 12 % NI, 3 % Mo". Welding will be preferably made
in argon atmosphere.
All hull-fittings are fitted with a plastic outer cap (part n°16 on drawing D0343).
This part is vital and shall be carefully put in place and sticked using
tightness cement during installation. If damaged, replace it immediately.
Anti-fouling paint must not be removed by abrasion. In certain cases, it is neither

possible nor recommended to put the probe immediately in its working position,
in order not to damage it. Obturate hull-casing by turning the valve off, or with
the designed cap.
When installation is over, do not forget to clean the probe.
99MU001-C - 9
2.1 SCREWED-TO-HULL-FITTING WITH VALVE TYPE 65.1.RVB WITH
65.2.RVB20 PROBE (or Type 48.1.RVB WITH 48.1.RVB.16 sensor)
(Drawing n° D0342)
Steel hulls may be too thin and require suitable reinforcement : minimum total
thickness must be 25 mm.
Note : Reinforcement is always recommended on any type of hull.
1. Check that actual thickness of the hull (including the reinforcement) is less
than the tolerated thickness. Remove the probe from the hull-fitting and from
piece (16). Remove the 0-rings.
2. Drill a 64.5 mm diameter hole in the hull for 48.1 RVB probes or 93 mm
diameter hole for 65.2. RVB probes. . Remember to flatten external surface in
order to get a perfect bearing of piece flange (1). For plastic hull, refer to
"Installation recommendations". Do an external chanfer (about 5 mm - 45°) for
easy mounting and proper positioning of piece 1.
Caution : Safety of the vessel depends from installation.
3. Position hull casing (1) and use self polymerizing mastic for tightness, such as
rubber, silicone, rilsan). Mastic layer must be thin. Let it harden to a pasty
consistency.
4. Screw casing nut (2) on to hull casing. To avoid the hull casing from
unscrewing, block it with a wedge.
5. Screw the four thru-bolts ref (3) into the nut threaded holes (piece ref. 2) and
butt them firmly against the hull plating in order to prevent future unscrewing
of the nut. If necessary, punch the hull through threaded hole to ensure good
blocking. For plastic hulls, it is recommended to glue the nut to the hull with
polymerizing fibered polyester.
6. Clean and grease 0-rings (11) an (12). Put them in place. Install the gate valve
and properly adjust it.
7. Put the upper 0-ring (6) in place in its landing, suitably greased. Install the
upper flange (5).
8. Screw the safety nuts (19) on thru-bolt (3) forcing moderately and equally. Do
not forget the washers (18).
99MU001-C - 10
9. Put lower 0-ring (13) in place.
10.Fill the inner part of outer bush (16) with self polymerizing silicone rubber
such as "syntofer".
11.Introduce isolating part ref (16) with force. Make sure that it is properly
positioned. Check that nothing protrudes and try to introduce the probe from
the outside. Let the mastic harden before going on.
12.Grease flat seal (7) and put it in place.
13.Carefully lubricate the probe and introduce it in its proper location.
DO NOT GREASE THE ELECTRODE.
14.Use high performance marine grease supplied with spares. When properly
positioned, the sensitive surface of the probe protrudes at least 1 mm from
external bush. The red mark on the probe head is directed towards the bow.
15.Fix probe flange (8) with screws (9) and washers (20) ; put circlip 15. Connect
the link (10). Check link length : it must be long enough to allow valve turn-off
and short enough to prevent probe from escaping and passing over the 0-ring
(6).
When using anti-fouling paint, DO NOT PAINT THE ELECTRODES.
Note : In order to avoid probe damage, it is recommended to put probe in

place just before departure, or while at sea (in this case, do not forget to close
the valve).
99MU001-C - 11
2.2 WELDED-TO-HULL-FITTING WITH VALVE TYPE 65.1.RVI WITH
65.2.RVB.20 PROBE (or Type 48.1.RVI WITH 48.1.RVB.16 sensor)
(Drawing n° D0343)
Drill a 77 mm diameter hole in the hull for 48.1 RVI probes OR 92 mm diameter
hole for 65.2.RVB probes.. Do an external chamfer of 5 mm (45°) for welding.
1. Hull-casing (1) must be properly positioned, follow suggested procedure on

drawing hereunder. A positioning tool is recommended for the welding. Weld
the hull-fitting to he hull. After three or four spots have been welded on the
internal side of the hull, remove the tool. Check that the lower part of hull-
casing does not protrude the hull, and grind the external seam flush with the
hull.
IMPORTANT : Hull-fitting mechanical tolerances are very precise. In order

to avoid any possible damage, do not heat the hull-fitting when welding it.

ref (16) with self polymerizing silicone rubber. Force the isolating part inside
and clips it. Check positioning of hull-casing and also check that nothing
protrudes inside by carefully introducing the probe. Let the paste harden the
time required.
8. Put flat seal (7) in place. Carefully lubricate the probe and introduce it. Use
grease supplied with spares.
9. Do not put grease on the electrodes. It would isolate them.
10.When properly positioned, the red mark on the head is directed towards
the bow.
11.When probe flange (8) is in place, use screws (9) to hold it with hull-fitting.
Do not forget washers (20) and the circlips (15).
12.Connect the link (10). Check link length. It must be long enough to allow valve
turn-off and short enough to prevent probe from escaping and passing over O-
ring (6).
The sensitive surface of the probe must protrudes at least 1mm from the hull.
It is recommended to put probe in place as late as possible, in order to avoid any

damage (do not forget to turn the valve off).

2.3 SCREWED-TO-HULL-FITTING WITHOUT VALVE TYPE 48.1.RB OR
48.1.RBL WITH 48.1.RB OR 48.1.RVB PROBE (Drawing n° C1285/C1301)
Above fittings are either made of bronze (48 RB) or in aluminum (48 RA)
according to the hull material. They are convenient for hulls of maximum
thickness 30mm, including hull reinforcement. Minimum clearance for probe
retraction is 150 mm distance from inside hull. For thick hulls, a longer hull-
fitting has been designed (48 RBL hull-fitting). Maximum thickness of the hull is
110 mm. Minimum clearance for probe retraction is 410mm. A threaded cap
ref (25) is supplied with the hull-fitting in order to obturate the opening when the
probe is removed.
1. Drill a 64.5 mm diameter hole in the hull. Do an external chamfer (about 5 mm

- 45° -).
2. Put hull-casing in place. Tightness is obtained by a self polymerizing silicon

rubber in order to prevent rotation of the body when unscrewing (23). Use a
silicon rubber or any equivalent material. The rubber seal must not be thicker
than 0.2mm. Wait until its hard enough to screw.
3. Fill the inner part of outer bush ref (16) with rubber or self polymerizing
silicon. Be careful to fill only as shown on drawing. Force the bush, check that
the bush is properly clipsed and that nothing protrudes. Test the clearance by
introducing the probe preferably from outside. Let the paste harden before
going on.
4. Put the washer (24) and the nut (23). The nut (23) must be locked by a
conventional mechanical system (refer to the drawing). As to the RBL hull-
fitting, it is possible to add a second nut acting as a lock-nut.
5. Put previously greased 0-ring in place, and flat seal (7) and carefully introduce
the probe.
Attention : Do not grease the electrodes, it would isolate them.

We recommend to use high performance marine grease supplied with spares.
If anti-fouling paint is used, DO NOT PAINT THE ELECTRODES
Attention : Red mark on probe-head must be directed towards the bow.
6. Screw probe nut (8). Do not forget the circlips (15).
DO NOT GREASE THE ELECTRODES
99MU001-C - 14
2.4 WELDED-TO-HULL-FITTING WITHOUT VALVE TYPE 48.1.RI WITH
48.1.RB PROBE (Drawing n° C1287)
1. Drill a 77 mm diameter hole in the hull. Do an external chamfer of 5 mm (45°)

for welding.
2. Position hull-casing (1). To obtain accurate positioning, follow suggested

procedure on the drawing. After three or four spots have been welded on
internal side of hull, remove the mechanical system and check the positionning.
Hull-casing must be flush with the hull. After welding, grind the external seam
on a level with hull surface in order to allow piece (16) to butt on piece (1).
IMPORTANT : Hull-fitting mechanical tolerances are very tight. In order to

avoid any destroying risk, do not heat the hull-fitting when welding it.
3. Fill the inner part of outer bush ref (16) with self polymerizing silicon rubber.
Fill only the part indicated on the drawing. Force the bush in, check that it is
properly clipsed and that nothing protrudes. Test the clearance by introducing
the probe preferably from outside. Let the paste harden as required before
going on.
Weld lower flange (2) to hull casing (1).
4. Weld the thru-bolts (3) before filling the inner part of outer bush with self
polimerizing silicon rubber.
5. Grease 0-ring (13) and put it in place.
6. Do not forget flat seal (7), and fix the probe. Install probe flange (8) in place,
screw the thru-bolts with nuts (19) and washers (18). Do not forget the
circlips (15).
Caution :
To introduce the probe, use high performance grease supplied with
spares.
The red mark on the probe head is directed towards the bow.
DO NOT GREASE THE ELECTRODES.
99MU001-C - 15
2.5 LENS PROBE WITH HULL FITTING MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL
A/ INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Drill a 184mm hole in the hull. Do an external chamfer of 5mm (45°) for
welding.
2. Position hull-fitting in the correct mounting direction.
The reference mark drawn on hull-fitting is oriented towards bow, it must be

exactly parallel to the vessel axis.
The hull-fitting defines the mounting direction of the lens probe.
When the hull-fitting is welded, grind the external seam on a level with hull
surface in order not to create hydraulic interferences around the probe.
3. Weld a steel pipe to back of hull-fitting.

Ø = 40mm - Thickness = Minimum 5mm
This pipe will be stopped at 50mm above maximum waterline.
4. Introduce the probe after pulling watertight cable into the pipe.
5. Brush probe bottom with watertight rubber before fixing it with its 4 screws.
Caution : DO NOT GREASE THE ELECTRODES.

B/ DISMOUNTLING AND CHANGING OF SENSOR
1/ Cut off power supply of the electronic.

2/ disconnect the watertight cable sensor from the electronic.
3/ Strongly attach the watertight cable to a rope of at least the length of pipe.
4/ Send a diver to unscrew the four fixation screws of sensor.
5/ Screw-up the two extraction screws in order to push out the sensor from its
hullfitting.
6/ Extract the complete defective sensor with its watertight cable and the rope
attached to it.
7/ Strongly attach the new sensor’s watertight cable to the rope and pull back up

Preliminary tests
Once installation is completed, a checkout must be performed before turning

the power on.
Main unit
Open main unit and switch to TEST mode (red point). If no speed is
displayed, check the battery voltage, then the fuse.
When the equipment is on, speed displayed on TEST mode is 14.53 knots ±
0.1.
When the GA120 galvanometer is used, check the programing of current

output (see "Current output" paragraph). Check that all outputs run. Switch to
"NORMAL".
Transmitter unit
Open transmitter unit and switch to "TEST" mode.
Transmitter sends a speed equal to 80% of scale as defined by straps E6 - E5
- E4 - E3 positioning, to the main unit, i.e. :
E6 E5 E4 E3
- 2 + 16 knots
- 3 + 24 knots
0 + 32 knots
0 + 48 knots
Check transmitter and main unit operating.

Zero adjustment
When vessel is motionless on dead calm water, speed may be above

zero. You then have to correct this zero shift.
Make sure there is no undertow.
You can easily check it by putting probe back to front to check zero
does not change.
If it does, zero can be adjusted by equalizing absolute speed values

when probe is in normal position and is back to front. Do not forget
then to put probe back in correct position (red mark towards vessel
bow).

4.1. LOG CALIBRATION
An E/M log measures speed and distance in relation to water. When there is
no current, the distance indicated by the log is the distance in relation to the
ground or the true distance.
Several methods can be used :
a) Empirical method
Using the average of the measurements of long distances covered in

comparison with the real distances.
b) Rational method
Using the measurements of speed in covering the same base distance

several times.
The device is set for the average sensitivity of its probes in the factory.
If the first method is used, calculate the average relative error for a certain
number of runs at different times and with different tide levels, but at roughly
the same speed.
It is convenient to calculate these errors in percentages. The average error is

calculated by taking the average of the relative errors. A large enough number
of runs must be made, as in the following tables :
Runs listed
by order 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Error - 2% - 5% + 7% - 6% + 2% + 1% + 4% + 3% + 1% + 3%
-2-5+7-6+2+1+4+3+1+3=+8
8
The average relative error is = + 0.8 %
10
The correction is : - 0.8 %
99MU001-C - 30
4.2 CALIBRATION OVER SHORT DISTANCES
It is possible to calibrate the log with precision by covering a known base

distance defined by alignment on the shore, preferably following a route
defined by an alignment.
Calculating true or real speed :

Clock the time needed to cover the base distance : the true or real speed Vr is:
Dr
Vr = x 3600
Tr
Dr =Real distance covered
Tr = Time taken to cover the distance in seconds
Calculation of the log speed
The log speed must not be read on the speed display as the measurement
would not be precise enough. The average speed must be determined by
clocking the time spent to complete the distance.
A second stop watch is useful, but if you only have one, the same method can
be used by taking the times on the first stop watch as you go.
With a second stop watch, measure the time spent to cover the distance
displayed on the distance counter. Start the stop watch as soon as the first one
tenth of a mile figure changes after entering the base distance zone. Stop the
stop watch when the base distance has been covered or just before reaching
the end of the distance when the tenth of a mile figure changes.
Do not change the speed or the direction of the vessel until this measurement
has been taken.
V1 log speed is : V1 = D1 x 3600

T1
Let Dd and Df respectively be the distances displayed at the beginning and at

the end of the trip ; the distance displayed on the log will be :
D1 = Df - Dd
If the time measured between the display of Dd and Df is T1, the average speed
indicated on the log is :
D1
V1 =
T1
99MU001-C - 31
Tr and T1 are not identical, since the beginning and the end of each of these
timings are not identical.
If the base distance is long enough to be able to accept an approximation of a

tenth of a mile, just note the indications on the distance counter upon entering
and leaving the base distance zone.
The above measurements are to be taken over several runs.
a) When in a zone where the current remains constant throughout the tests,
the base distance zone should be covered a second time in the opposite
direction, carrying out the same operations. The average of the speeds
obtained is then calculated :
Vaverage = V1 + V2
2
b) If the current is not constant, a third run in the same direction as the first
will be made, as long as the tests are made consecutively with no time out
between any two test runs. The average is calculated as follows :
Vaverage = V1 + 2V2 + V3
4
V1 = speed calculated on the first run

V2 = speed calculated on the second run
V3 = speed calculated on the third run
Always try to operate at the speed given by the log, modifying the engine
speed controls if necessary.
Do not perform the measurements while the tide is turning.
Having found the average real speeds and the average log speeds, a simple
calculation will provide the percentage of error of the log.
The percent error is :
100V1 + Vr
V1
99MU001-C - 32
This error may be positive or negative.
Example : suppose that 1.1 mile is covered in a clocked time of Tr1 = 364
seconds.
The real speed will be :

1.1 x 3600
= 10,9 knots
364
The average real speed will be :
10.1 + 10.9
= 10.5 knots
2
Suppose that during the first run over the base distance, the stop watch was
started when the distance counter was at : 24.1 miles, and that it was stopped
when the distance counter was at : 25.4 miles, the stop watch will have run
400 seconds.
The distance read from the distance counter will be : 25.4 - 24.1 = 1.3 mile.
Calculating the indicated speed gives :
1.3 x 3600
= 11.7 knots
400
During the second run the stop watch was started when the distance counter
was at 26.0 mile and stopped when the distance counter was at 27.2 mile, the
stop will have run 372 seconds.
The distance read from the distance counter is : 27.2 - 26 = 1.2 mile.
The speed calculated is :
1.2 x 3600
= 11.6 knots
372
The average value of the speeds indicated is :

11.7 + 11.6
= 11.65 knots
2
99MU001-C - 33
Error correction :
First evaluate the error in percentage. In the above example, the error :
100 x (11.65 - 10.5)

= + 10 %
11.65
The correction to be made is therefore : - 10 %.
Switch to "TEST" mode and wait a few seconds till speed display is
stabilized.
Note test value.
Calculate new test value : for example :
Test value = 18 knots
18 x 10
New value = 18 knots - = 16.2 knots
100
Change test value by the gain adjustment method (§.4)

5.3 CHANGE OF CIRCULAR BARGRAPH SCALE
The log has an automatic analog scale switch.over allowing an optimum

reading.
When the vessel speed overpasses 25 Knots, the log automatically switches-
over to the 50-knot scale. The log will switch-over again to the 25-knot scale
when speed is lower than 24 Knots.

1. According to vessel tonnage

- Hull-fittings with valve (65.1 RVI - 65.1 RVB)

- Hull-fittings without valve (Lens – Diver type)

2. Hull fitting cannot be used in dangerous compartments (fuel, hydrocarbons,

3. Check hull strength before installating hull fitting.

4. Hull fitting must be installed in compliance with the specifications of the

General rules for probe installation

Welding the hull casing to the hull requires special care.

Anti-fouling paint must not be removed by abrasion. In certain cases, it is neither

When installation is over, do not forget to clean the probe.

Caution : Safety of the vessel depends from installation.

12.Grease flat seal (7) and put it in place.

13.Carefully lubricate the probe and introduce it in its proper location.

DO NOT GREASE THE ELECTRODE.

When using anti-fouling paint, DO NOT PAINT THE ELECTRODES.

Note : In order to avoid probe damage, it is recommended to put probe in

1. Hull-casing (1) must be properly positioned, follow suggested procedure on

IMPORTANT : Hull-fitting mechanical tolerances are very precise. In order

2. Weld piece ref (2) on hull-casing (1).

9. Do not put grease on the electrodes. It would isolate them.

It is recommended to put probe in place as late as possible, in order to avoid any

If antifouling paint is used :

DO NOT PAINT THE ELECTRODES

DO NOT GREASE THE ELECTRODES

1. Drill a 64.5 mm diameter hole in the hull. Do an external chamfer (about 5 mm

2. Put hull-casing in place. Tightness is obtained by a self polymerizing silicon

Attention : Do not grease the electrodes, it would isolate them.
