JLN-205 Doppler Log 12th. Jan. 2006

[TX , RX &. Transducer check points]

1. Confirm the voltage of the transmitter output.

TP404
100 to 200Vpp

Confirm TP401 = +30V and F400 = 2A TP6

when the transmitter output doesn't go out.
Fig.1 transmitter output
2. Confirm the receiver output.
When depth from the ship’s bottom is 6m, the shape of waves shown in fig2 &. 3 is obtained.

When the channel (TP452 or TP454) with low level moves, it is a breakdown of transducer:CFT-22B.
When the channel (TP452 or TP454) with low level is not change, it is a break in the circuit:CMN-686.

Example: When the element of After has been damaged

Bottom echo level

TP452(Fore) = 2.1V Transducer
TP454(After) = 1.5V

After (damage)
after replace the line

(normal)
TP452 = 1.5V
TP454 = 2.1V Fig.7 Image of transducer damage

4. When the above clause 1,2,3 is normal

・ Ship speed is fast, or
・ Sea condition is bad, or
・ Draft is shallow
When abnormality appears to the display speed in the above conditions, the following causes are thought.
・ The Doppler Log causes the performance deterioration so that the bubble generated in the bow
part may enter the transducer part.
・ As a result of the check, the equipment is normal, and this phenomenon is done because of an
external factor on a bad condition of the ship speed or the sea condition or the draft.
Explain the above to officer. And, describe to the construction report.

5. When not becoming normal even if the check and the repair
Describe the result of the check and the repair to the check sheet(last page).
And contact the Marine Service Department of JRC.
