3100P-TOPSIDE PROCESSOR 1. Introduction The 3100P Portable Topside Processor provides an interface between a laptop computer running EdgeTech's DISCOVER 3100P Sub-bottom Sonar acquisition software, and a model SB-424 or SB-216S towfish. The end user need only supply a source of GPS data and either AC or DC power to complete the acquisition package. The complete system with the 3100P and towfish is the Model 3100P Sub-bottom Sonar System.
PAGE 14
3100P-TOPSIDE PROCESSOR 2. Overview The “portable” deck unit is splash proof and constructed of high-impact structural polypropylene material. The deck unit provides the interface and acquisition hardware to the tow fish. The firmware inside the deck unit interfaces to the notebook computer via TCP/IP based Ethernet or wireless connection. While communication with the deck unit the laptop computer is running DISCOVER acquisition software displaying and recording data. 2.1. Product Specifications 2.1.1.

3100P-TOPSIDE PROCESSOR 6. 6.1. System Installation and Connections System Installation Check that the unit power is turned OFF (switch position = DOWN). Connect the 3100P Topside to a source of AC and/or DC power using either the DC Power & Ethernet cable or the AC power cable. (Check system power specifications). WARNING: DO NOT EXTEND THE DC POWER LEADS OF THE DC POWER & ETHERNET CABLE. Connect the 3100P Topside via the Tow cable connection to the Tow Vehicle using the supplied tow cable.
PAGE 45
3100P-TOPSIDE PROCESSOR 6.2. LED Diagnostics 6.2.1. RED LED = Power The RED Power LED should always light up when power (AC or DC) is applied to the 3100P Topside and the side panel power switch is in the ON position. Troubleshooting If the RED Power LED does not light up when power is applied, check the position of the side panel ON/OFF switch and all power connections to the unit.
PAGE 46
3100P-TOPSIDE PROCESSOR 3100P Topside is pinging (sonar transmitting). The flashing rate of the YELLOW Ping LED does not always match the actual ping rate (this is normal behavior). 6.2.4. Troubleshooting If the YELLOW Ping LED never lights up during startup or pinging, but stays dark permanently, the most likely cause is that the YELLOW Ping LED or its own circuitry is faulty, in which case the rest of the system might still be fully operational. 6.3.
