2.3 Channel Master Overview
The Channel Master instrument contains two horizontal and one vertical
transducer ceramics and the electronics. The standard acoustic frequencies
for the horizontal transducers are 1200 kHz, 600 kHz, and 300 kHz. The
standard frequency for the vertical beam is 600 kHz. See “Outline Installa-
tion Drawings,” page 134 for dimensions and weights.
I/O Cable Connector – Input/Output (I/O) cable connects the Channel Mas-
ter to the computer.
Urethane Face – The urethane face covers the transducer ceramics. Never
set the transducer faces on a hard/rough surface. The urethane faces may be
damaged.
Housing – The standard housing allows deployment depths to 200M.
Thermistor – The Thermistor measures the water temperature.
Pressure Sensor (depth) – The pressure sensor measures water pressure.
Tilt Sensor – The internal tilt sensor measures pitch and roll of the Channel
Master.
Transducer Head – The electronics and transducer ceramics are mounted to
the transducer head.
NOTE. The Channel Master uses X-Y Instrument Coordinates. The
positive X direction is from transducer Beam 2 to transducer Beam 1. The
Y-axis is perpendicular to the X-axis (see Figure 22, page 45).
