GENERAL Fundamental Safety Instructions
General remark to HydroStar 4900 Even with a carefully selected transducer position and proper installation, the function of hydroacoustic equipment can be impaired by turbulence, acoustic noise or aerated water. As main causes, the following can be stated: Propeller(s) running reversed; - Thruster(s) in operation, especially at low speed ahead; - Engine noise, transferred to the transducer either by the hull structure or through the water, the latter especially as bottom- reflection in shallow water. - Losing sonar contact with the water at extremely bad weather, as a result of violent pitching. - Hot water discharges from power plants; - Rising cold water in several sea areas. The HydroStar 4900 has been built in accordance with state of the art standards and recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, it may constitute a risk to life or limb of the user and or third parties, or cause damage to the vessel and or other material property if the following rules are not complied with. The HydroStar 4900 must only be used in a technically flawless condition in accordance with it's designated use and the instructions contained within this Technical Handbook and only by safety conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks involved in operating such a system. The HydroStar 4900 is designed as a navigational and survey echosounder. Using the system for purposes other than this is considered contrary to it's designated use. The manufacturer can not be held responsible for any damage resulting from such misuse. The risk of such misuse lies entirely with the user. Personnel entrusted with operating the system must have read the Technical Handbook, in particular the section on safety measures before and during operation. Reading these instructions after starting the system is too late. This applies especially to persons who only work with the system occasionally, e.g. during setting up or maintenance. Always observe the maintenance/inspection intervals laid down in this Technical Handbook. Use only spare parts authorised by the manufacturer and never replace defective fuses by those of any other rating than specified. Switch the system OFF immediately if trouble occurs with the electrical system. Work on the system must only be carried out by a qualified technician or a specially trained person working under the supervision of such a technician. Electrical engineering regulations must be observed at all times.

HydroStar 4900
Observe all safety instructions and warnings for operating and maintenance attached to the system. Ensure that such safety instructions and warnings are always complete, visible and perfectly legible. Never make any modifications, additions or conversions to the system without the manufacturers full approval. If the system is shut down for maintenance or repair, it must be secured against inadvertent switching ON by isolating the system from the mains power supply and attaching a sign to the front plate of the display and control unit stating that the unit must not be switched ON because maintenance or repair work is being carried out. Always check tighten any screwed connections, e.g. plugs, sockets and terminals, which may have been loosened during maintenance or repair work. Always dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local environmental regulations. Check the system regularly for defective cables, connections etc. Alterations within the SERVICES menu must only be made by trained persons. Altering setting within this menu may lead to incorrect depth readings which in turn may lead to loss of life or limb. Survey Echosounding Systems and remote indicators which detect and display the water depth from a single momentary value per transmission pulse, e.g. digital and pointer displays, can display false readings over a period of time. This is primarily valid in shallow water areas. For this reason, water depths displayed in this manner must be compared with the graphic presentation at such intervals as to guarantee the ship's safety.
1.1.1
Transducer Installation Instruction
1.1.1.1 Transducer Locating

The performance of an echosounder is limited by the acoustical propagation of sound in water. Mainly this is influenced by the transducer mounting place, the operational frequency and the transducer efficiency. The transducer mounting place is to select in such a way, that the transducer surface is free of air bubbles and turbulence. Air bubbles and turbulence will reflect the sound energy so that no echoes from the bottom will return. That's why transducers in general have to be installed in ship's bow. If the ship has a bow thruster, the transducer has to be mounted ahead of it. Otherwise the turbulence caused by the thruster hole will inhibit echosounding operation. While the bow thruster is operating, no echosounding is possible because of the propeller rotation. On ships with bulbs the transducer must be mounted as far ahead as possible.
TH 44 116 8002 E
SURVEY ECHOSOUNDER
HydroStar 4900
Transducers mounted in ship's aft normally are limited in function during travelling, because this area is very noisy. Due to engine noise, propeller rotation and air bubbles, the transducers are only efficient during low speed travelling. An indication for that is the disappearing of echoes, digital reading will indicate surface reverberation ( 1-1.5 m ) or "?". While sailing only the bow transducer should be used.
1.1.2
Cable Length, Cable Routing, Operating Frequency
Both the operating frequency and the length of cable between the echosounder and the transducer influence the performance of echosounding. General rules are: At lower frequencies the influence of air bubbles and turbulence decreases, increased depth measurements are possible, energy loss at longer cable length is minimised. Higher frequencies are less sensitive against radiated water noise caused by the ships engine and propeller rotation. The transducer cable length is limited by the working frequency, as shown in the table.

Critical point in cabling is the correct handling of the cable screens, especially for the transducer cable. The cable screens have to be grounded only at one point: at the echosounder. In all connection boxes the screens are slide and not connected to ground. Dismantling has to be as short as possible. The transducer cable should be fed through a steel pipe, directly welded on the transducer housing, over the waterline (CWL) to the first junction box. At the end of the pipe a normal cable gland should be set. This way of transducer installation allows to replace the transducer without dry-docking, for no water pressure is at the pipe's end, which is a great advantage. Most classification organisation demand this installation type, due to higher ship's safety and it is the actual standard installation. If the first junction box is placed exceptional below the waterline, the full water pressure is at the cable gland and transducers only can be replaced by dry-docking the ship. From the first connection box to the echosounder three kinds of cable laying are mandatory recommended: - the cable is laid in a steel pipe - a double-screened cable is used as transducer cable, the inner screen is one-side connected to the echosounder's ground, the outer screen is both-side connected to the ship's ground. (strongly recommended) - the transducer cable has to be laid separately from other cables in a distance of minimum 0.5 m. Most important is not to lay single shielded cable in the vicinity of other cable. NOTE: In any case shielded cable has to be used over the whole distance from the transducer to the echosounder. All connection boxes must be metallic.

Transducer Cable Specification
The cable from the transducer connection box to the echosounder must be approved marine cable according DIN 89158 or similar, like MGCG 2x1.5. At least the requirement of a resistance <13 / km and a capacity of < 150 nF/ km must be fulfilled. For cable length longer than mentioned in the table the electrical power of the echosounder has to be increased according to manufacturer's release.

Echosounding Principle Sound Velocity
The speed, at which sound is propagated, depends upon the medium, through which it must travel. Here some examples: In air In water In steel approx. 330 m/s approx. 1,500 m/s approx. 5,100 m/s
The values above are average values. The sound velocity in a uniform (homogenous) media is constant. The absolute value is dependent upon various factors. With propagation in water, deviations in standard values occur, particularly due to temperature changes and degree of salinity and also to a certain extent, by the pressure. An increase in salinity and/or temperature will cause the sound velocity to increase. The sound velocity values, for given circumstances, can be taken from Figure 1-9. The largest deviations from the standard value of 1500 m/s amount to approx. 4%. For this reason, corrective action must be taken in order to gain precise measurements. With the HydroStar 4900 Survey Echosounder System, correction values for differing water conditions can be directly entered via a menu. The actual sound velocity can also be automatically fed into the system, providing that a corresponding sound velocity measuring system is available.

1.6.2
Formation of Echoes by Reflection
Each time the propagation conditions in the medium alter, a larger or smaller proportion of the sound is reflected by the edges of the medium and is returned as an echo. The difference in the propagation characteristics has a fundamental influence on the strength of the echo. Hard objects (stone or steel) return stronger echoes than soft objects, e.g. mud. The shape of the surface of the object, from which the echo is reflected, also has a strong influence on the strength of the echo. Optical laws apply to the reflective surfaces ( angle of in incidence equal to angle of emergence, see ( Figure 1-10 ). Particularly strong reflections (almost 100% reflection) occurs where the water meets air, which can also be in the form of bubbles. When travelling through wake water, which contains a high proportion of air bubbles, the bottom echo can be lost completely or strong interference may appear on the graphic display, caused by the air bubbles close to the surface of the water. Multiple echoes can also occur. If the echosounder is sufficiently sensitive, the returning echo can be reflected by the surface of the water, return to the sea bed and back to the ship, where it will be received and displayed as a double echo. In some cases, triple and even quadruple echoes have been observed. With larger ships, in particular flat-bottomed ships, the surface reflection not only results from the surface of the water but also from the bottom of the ship's hull. This then results in a double bottom structure in the double echo. The upper contour is from the reflection caused by the ship's hull. The distance is exactly twice the water depth below the keel, as the transducer is normally installed there. The next, slightly deeper contour is caused by the beam reflected by the surface of the water. This contour is usually slightly stronger, as the reflection is stronger. The difference between the two sea bed contours corresponds to the draft of the ship.
1.6.2.1 Multiple Echo Principle of Echosounding

The sound beam is almost completely reflected where the two media, air and water, meet. When a sounding pulse returns from the sea bed as an echo, only a very small portion hits the transducer as a useful echo. A far larger portion hits the ship's hull surrounding the transducer and an even larger portion hits the surface of the water around the ship, from where it is reflected back to the sea bed.. This is in turn reflected from the sea bed, causing the same sounding pulse to be received by the transducer a second time. If it is still strong enough, after having covered twice the distance, it will be displayed below the first sea bed echo, at twice the depth, as a so called "double" or "1st multiple" echo. That portion of the sounding pulse, which was reflected by the surface of the water, will appear on the display at twice the depth. With larger vessels and relatively shallow water, that portion of the sounding pulse, which was reflected by the ship's hull, will also be displayed. Due to the fact, that the ship's hull is smaller than and does not reflect as well as the surface of the water, the double echo from the ship's TH 44 116 8002 E 28 Edition: 23.10.2003 Issue: 001

1.6.3
Noise Level
Due to attenuation losses and the geometric propagation, the echo signals become ever weaker with increasing depth and are finally lost in the ambient noise. In order to become a clear presentation, the echo signals received must be stronger than these noise signals. The so-called "useful signal / noise ratio" generally limits the range of an echosounder. For this reason, the noise level at the transducer's place of installation is an important factor. The noise level on board a moving ship is generally very high. The main sources of noise are naturally the ship's engines and the propeller but auxiliary machinery in the vicinity of the transducer and the current of water over the ship's hull are also contributory factors. There is also water borne noise, like waves, reverberation etc. The spectrum of such noise ranges between a few Hertz and several hundred Kilohertz. There are generally no frequencies, which are free of noise. Echoes received from a great depth are extremely weak, the reception power at the transducer lies in the region of 1 x 10-10 ( 0.0000000001 W ). When one compares this to the many thousand watts of power, which must be produced on board, to propel the ship, the noise problem becomes obvious. The most effecTH 44 116 8002 E 30 Edition: 23.10.2003 Issue: 001
SURVEY ECHOSOUNDER
HydroStar 4900
tive means of eliminating noise in an echosounder system, is to tune all parts of the system to precisely the same frequency (resonance). This applies to the transmitter, the transducer and the reception amplifier. The bandwidth must also be kept as narrow as possible, in order to prevent the reception of noise, outside the operating range of the echosounder.
1.6.4
System Frequency and Its Effect
As previously mentioned, attenuation losses increase with increases in frequency. The range of an echosounder is thus greater at a lower frequency. This however only has a practical meaning for great distances of over 1000 m and does not therefore apply to normal echosounders. For this reason however sonar systems operate at low frequencies to achieve increased range. Low frequencies have several disadvantages for echosounder systems. This applies to the transducer, which, in order to achieve a narrow beam, has to be far larger for a low frequency. The other disadvantage with a low frequency system lies in the resolution, which deteriorates at low frequency. This is due to the pulse length. The transducer should operate at resonance, i.e. its natural mechanical frequency is matched to the electrical system frequency. In order that resonance can develop, a pulse must contain a whole series of oscillations. The transducer represents a considerable mechanical mass and must first oscillate. This naturally takes longer for a large mass (transducer of low frequency) than for a small, high-frequency transducer. The same applies for the end of the pulse, where the transducer oscillation, caused by the electrical transmission pulse, decays With a low system frequency, the transmission pulses must be considerably longer. The pulse length determines the resolution of the echosounder. The term "resolution", is understood to be the smallest distance apart at which a system can display two objects as separate objects. Resolution can not be performed within a pulse. The distance between the two objects must hence be larger than the pulse length plus the pulse decay process. In order to make the best possible use of the resonance effect of the transducer, approx. 30 electrical transmission pulse oscillations are required. This corresponds to a pulse length of 0.7 ms at 50 kHz, whereas the pulse length is 3.5 ms at 10 kHz. The resolution at lower frequencies is thus 5 times worse . If the transmission pulse is less than 30 oscillations, the resonance effect is partially lost. This is generally permissible in shallow water, as ,due to the high transmission power, the "useful signal / noise ratio" is better than in deep water. TheSurvey Echosounder HydroStar 4900 operates with 6 pulse lengths of 0.1 ms in the 10 m range (30 kHz), 0.15 ms in the 25 m and 50 m range (12 kHz), 0,5 ms in the 25 to 100 m ranges ( 30 kHz) 1.0 ms in the 100 m range ( 12 kHz), 10.0 ms in the 250 m range ( 12 kHz), 1.0 ms in the 250 and 500 m ranges ( 12 kHz), 20 ms in 500 m range ( 30 kHz), 10ms in 1000 m range, 20 ms in the 3000m and 6000m and 100 ms in the 10000 m range. The pulse length is automatically changed, when the operating range is changed. These pulse TH 44 116 8002 E 31 Edition: 23.10.2003 Issue: 001
SURVEY ECHOSOUNDER
HydroStar 4900
lengths give a resolution of approx. 30 cm in the shallow ranges and 2.0 to 20 m in the deeper ranges. This resolution is of particular importance when sounding in shallow water. In order to suppress noise, the bandwidth of the reception channel is kept to a minimum. This is to prevent reception of noise, which is outside the frequency range of the system. On the other hand, the bandwidth must be wide enough to allow the short echo pulse to be processed without hindrance. Taking the switchable pulse length of the system into consideration, the bandwidth of the Survey Echosounder HydroStar 4900 is always changed to suit the range selected. Taking the required range of the system, of at least 1000 m and a sounding resolution of approx. 0.3 m, a system frequency of 200 kHz was chosen for the Survey Echosounder HydroStar 4900. At this frequency, the sound pulses also penetrate the soft sea bed layers to a certain degree. This is so that the sea bed structure can be displayed. This is an important factor during anchoring manoeuvres for example. Layers in the water, due to differing temperatures or salinity of the water will also be displayed.

1.6.5.1 Influences of Ship's Movement

Due to the motion of the ship, the narrow echosounding beam deviates from the vertical and the sounding indicates a greater than actual depth. If a less concentrated beam is now used, this error can be corrected. Unfortunately, one hundred percent justice can not be done to both requirements. A compromise is achieved by using a moderately concentrated beam.

Function Special Characteristics of the Survey Echosounder HydroStar 4900
The HydroStar 4900 differs greatly in function from the way in which normal echosounders operate. A decisive factor during development of the system was the requirement to employ the HydroStar 4900 as standard equipment on board surface ships, to measure the depth of water under the keel and to present this true to scale and in the correct position in one and the same echogram. A further requirement was the presentation of the depth of water in digital form, and to permit connection of additional repeater displays.The HydroStar 4900 provides outstanding performance in virtually any application requiring precise, dependable depth measurement and evaluation of bottom conditions. It fully meets the requirements of professional hydrography for bathymetry ranging from maximum ocean depths to river and channel surveys as well as site and route surveys for offshore construction.

These are laid down by the International Maritime Organisation ( IMO ) and state that: - After switched ON the system works on NAV- Mode - The Sound Velocity must be set to 1500 m/s - The unit of measurement must be metric ( metres ) - Water depth must be measured below the keel (DBK )

WATER DEPTH- Mode (DBK)
The distance between the keel and the sea bed should be displayed as the water depth (depth below the keel). To enable this, an LF transducer is installed in the ship's bottom but which, due to the ship's construction, is often not on the underside of the keel. To correct this, the distance between the transducer and the underside of the keel must be taken into consideration. The measurement itself starts naturally from the surface of the water. To display the depth of water under the keel, the distance between the echosounder and the keel must be subtracted from the depth measured. This is carried out automatically, if it is set during the HAT. The zero line of the recording corresponds to the transducer, under which the sea bed profile recording is presented in the echogram ( Fig. 1-16, Fig.1-17). This causes a deviation between the depth displayed (below the keel) and the depth recorded, the greater the transducer to keel compensation, the smaller the range selected.

Method of Operation
The values measured for water depth and sound velocity, determined by this system, can be displayed simultaneously on the display and on the digital displays. An acoustic and visual alarm facility is activated. The acoustic alarm can be switched OFF centrally in the unit. The electronics can be disassembled to 3 units: - Analogue part Depth computer - Control computer and Operating / Display unit. The Operating / Display unit is based on an industrial PC with compact PCI bus. The operating programme is Windows NT 4.0 The PC software is sub-divided into two independent main programmes. The console programme is responsible for the screen output to the display and for reading in operator commands via the keyboard, whilst the other, the host programme, communicates with the depth computer via a serial interface and is responsible for data administration with external interfaces (external equipment, sensor inputs). A flash drive is used in this computer system in place of the hard disk. The keyboard is a matrix keyboard. Signals from this are processed for the PC by means of a converter PCB. As the console lighting must also be dimmable, a pulse width control system is used for the keyboard and display lighting. The receiver is designed as a super heterodyne receiver. The various operating frequencies (12 kHz to 1 MHz) are selected by switching the mixing frequency over. An AC voltage mixed to an intermediate frequency (455 kHz) is available at the output and not a rectified signal as is normally the case. Digitalisation takes place before the rectifier, in order to allow flexibly configurable filter structures by using fast processors. This measure reduces the sensitivity to interference (noise) during depth sounding.
1.8.1
Transmitter
The transmitter is realised in the form of a tried and tested FET bridge circuit. This has particularly low loss characteristics.
1.8.2
Depth Computer
The depth computer comprises a 32 bit floating decimal point DSP. Transmission triggering is followed by a time-dependent control voltage for the TVG. The results of a sounding are available almost immediately after completion of the sounding. The complete read-in buffer of the rectified echo is compressed to 400, 8 bit amplitude values for graphic presentation on the display. The interface to TH 44 116 8002 E 38 Edition: 23.10.2003 Issue: 001

the PC is served asynchronous to this. During the initialisation phase, information as to the respective equipment configuration are fed in here. During operation, operating parameter changes (pulse width, pulse power, alarm relay switching, measurement range etc.) are communicated. At the output side, the 400 echo amplitudes and the values measured by the sensors must be transfered.
1.8.3
Control Computer
The control computer handles all control functions, e.g. transmission trigger resolution, administration of all ext. interfaces, evaluation of keyboard inputs and the output to the display.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Safety Regulations for Handling Electrical Equipment
Personnel working on open equipment must be familiar with and adhere strictly to the safety regulations pertaining to such work. Before carrying out work inside open equipment, the supply voltage must be switched OFF. Work must only be carried out on open equipment in the presence of a second person. This person must have a sound knowledge of "FIRST AID IN THE EVENT OF ELECTRIC SHOCKS"
2.2 2.2.1
Checks After Installation/Start-Up Setting the Transducer - Correction ES WD1 and WD2
The transducer - correction eliminates the difference between the base of the transducer and the underside of the keel for the survey echosounder display. This means, that the survey echosounder display shows the depth of water under the keel. This difference is due to the place of installation of the transducer and must be taken from the shipyard construction drawings. The transducer correction setting is made during the HAT by the menu.
2.2.2
Setting the Sound Velocity
The actual sound velocity inherent in the area of operation can deviate from the average sound velocity (1500 m/s), depending upon the salinity and temperature of the water. The deviation can be as much as 4%. If the actual sound velocity can not be determined, it must be set to 1500 m/s. The range of adjustment is between 1400 m/s to 1650 m/s. The setting is made in accordance with Chapter 2.6.7.3. On the NAV- Mode the sound velocity change automatically to 1500 m/s.
2.2.3
Storing the Reverberation Threshold
The transducer reverberation makes it necessary to enter a so called "REVERBERATION THESHOLD" into the system and store it. The reverberation threshold prevents the display from being affected by the transducer's reverberation. This threshold differs from ship to ship and is therefore set and stored after the system has been installed and during the SAT. It can also be set and stored at a later point in time.

Explanation of Display Presentations Information field
The operating mode in use is indicated in the information field. There are 3 indications 1. Operating mode WD1 12kHz 2. Operating mode WD 2 200kHz 3. Operating mode WD 1 12kHz + WD 2 200kHz On the same level, it is also shown which measurement scale is in use, e.g. "m".An arrow, which can be on a yellow or red background, appears at the left-hand side of the digital depth indication. If the depth remains constant, the background changes to green and the arrow disappears. The colour changes, if the depth increases or decreases. If the depth decreases, the arrow points upwards and the background turns red. If the depth increases, the arrow points downwards and the background turns yellow. The depth indication appears in a white box. The depth measured is displayed numerically in this field. If the operating mode WD 112 kHz + WD 2 200 kHz is in use, the display window is split vertically into WD 2 and WD 1. The display for WD 2 is on the left-hand side, followed by WD 1 to the right. If only one channel is selected this channel, WD 1 or WD 2 fills the whole display. This TH 44 116 8002 E 52 Edition: 23.10.2003 Issue: 001

area also serves as a visual alarm indication, providing that the alarm circuit is switched ON via the menu, refer to Chapter 2.6.2.1. If the max. / min. depth limits selected are exceeded, the background of this area turns red. If the range in use is exceeded, the numeric display digits change from black to blue. There are three display areas in the top centre of the display, SOG, Clock and display unit selected. If both Master and Slave units are used, the name of the relevant unit will indicated here. The background of the display area is green for the Master, and red for the Slave. The clock is controlled by the built-in computer. It is also possible to control the clock from an external source. Refer to Chapter 2.6.7.5. The upper area is used to display the depth below keel, or depth below sensor, the speed over the ground ( SOG ). GPS data, in which the speed is included, are required for this indication. The top, right-hand side of the display is used to indicate the current sound velocity [ Sv1 ]. The current sound velocity is set via the relevant menu. Refer to Chapter 2.6.7.3. If the echosounder is connected to an external sound velocity measuring system, the sound velocity indication is controlled from there. To enable this, the unit is set to automatic control via the relevant menu. The additional data, like Longitude ( Lon ) and Latitude ( Lat ) are only displayed, if the unit is connected to a navigation system. The indications for Temperature ( Tem ), Salinity ( Sal ) and Density ( Den ) are only displayed, if the corresponding data are fed to the unit (sensor).

2.5.1.1
THRESHOLD
The unit is fitted with an automatic gain control for processing the data. It is activated, whenever the unit is switched ON. The THRESHOLD setting only influences the presentation of information on the display. It can be set within a range of 0 to 10 ( 0 = lowest, 10 = highest step ). If the sea bed echoes appear to be too weak, the THRESHOLD setting should be increased, in order to achieve a clear presentation. If a lot of "noise" appears on the display, the threshold level must be reduced. The threshold setting is indicated in the status line, at the bottom of the display area. The setting must be altered until such time as a satisfactory presentation is achieved.
2.5.1.2
RANGE
The range should be set to correspond to the depth to be expected. If for example the indicated depth is 30 m, the 50 m range will give a better resolution than the 500 m range. It is altered in the same way as the THRESHOLD and RANGE. There is a choice of 10 range settings available: 10 m only by 200 kHz, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 m by 12 and 200 kHz and only by 12 kHz 1000, 3000, 6000 and 10000 m. The range is dependent upon the operating frequency.

Testing the Transmission Power
NOTE: This test may only be carried out, if a transducer or Simulator is connected to the system. Switch the HydroStar 4900 OFF. Open the Distribution Box or Connection Box AK 82 and connect the oscilloscope using the 100 : 1 probe. Do not connect grounds. Measurement only in Differential Mode. WARNING: After switching the unit ON, there are voltages at the Connection Box terminals, which present a danger to life. Switch the unit ON by pressing the ON / OFF key . Select Range X ( 10000 m, 12 kHz ), using the RANGE keys. Measure the following value with the aid of the oscilloscope: 12 kHz with LSE 179 AK 82 pin 20 - 21 or 1 - 2 V = 840 to 1332 Vpp t = 100 ms 200 kHz with LSE 140 V = 376 Vpp to 596 Vpp t = 20 ms. If the value measured lies outside the given values, this can be adjusted by means of potentiometer R17 on the PGN 47. If adjustment is necessary, switch the unit OFF by pressing the ON / OFF key. Then open the front panel, and pull the transmission stage out after removing the protection plate. The transmission voltage can now be aligned. After checking the transmission voltage, switch the unit OFF, replace the protection plate and close the front panel. Remove the oscilloscope probes from the distribution box terminals and close it. NOTE: Ensure that the seal for the cover is correctly seated.

Transducer Insulation Test
Switch the unit OFF by pressing the ON / OFF key . WARNING: Fasten a " DO NOT SET INTO OPERATION ..... ! " sign on the unit. Loosen the screws securing the distribution box VK 10 or Connection Box AK 82 cover and remove it. Disconnect the two transducer cable cores from the distribution box VK 10 or Connection Box AK 82 terminals and carry out an insulation test as follows. - Blue transducer connection - Ground > 1 MOhm - Black transducer connection - Ground > 1 MOhm The measurement must be made using a 500 VDC insulation tester. NOTE: If the value lies below 1 Mohm, the transducer must be replaced. Re-connect the two transducer cable cores to the terminals in the connection box AK 82 or Distribution Box VK 10 . Ensure that the seal for the cover is correctly seated. NOTE: Reverse connection of the cores will have no influence upon the function of the system. Remove the warning sign and return the unit to its original state.
3.3.4
Cleaning the transducer
When the ship is in dry dock, clean and inspect the transducer. Inspect the transducer for possible marine growth. If the transducer is affected by marine growth, such growth must be removed using a soft brush and clean water. If the growth is difficult to remove using a soft brush, a flat piece of wood ( spatula ) can be used to remove it. WARNING: Never use a wire brush or metal scraper to remove growth from the transducer.
After cleaning the transducer, inspect the abrasion protector for damage. If this is damaged, the transducer must be replaced. If there is damage to the abrasion protector, this can cause eddy currents, which will have a detrimental affect upon the display presentation. NOTE: Always mask the transducer surface off when the ship's hull is painted. Upon completion of work, the surface of the transducer must be painted by hand with anti-fouling, to avoid trapping air. Painting the transducer surface applies not only to hull surface mounted transducers but also to transducers installed behind an acoustic window. TH 44 116 8002 E 137 Edition: 23.10.2003 Issue: 001

WARNING:
Do not use normal ship's paint on the transducer, only use anti-fouling. Remove old anti-fouling with paint remover and not with a scraper.
