1. INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM
FAMILIARIZATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM FAMILIARIZATION
Welcome to SIMRAD's EQ 55 Echo sounder. The EQ 55 is a totally new echo
sounder that can be used in any fishery in the world and is fully contained in just
one cabinet. Several different configurations of transducers can be purchased
separately for the EQ 55.
In this beginning chapter you will find an important section on safety
precautions, a "getting started" section that helps you locate the information
you need, and a section that summarizes the features built into the EQ 55.
Although this manual can be read in any sequence, we strongly encourage all
users to first read the Safety Summary. It is also advisable for experienced users
to at least scan the whole manual to find out what information is available when a
question does arise.
WARNING: CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY
APPROVED BY SIMRAD MESOTECH. MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY
AND MAY CAUSE INCREASED RADIO FREQUENCY EMISSIONS.
1.2 SAFETY SUMMARY
1.2.1 Fuse and Power Cord
Note that the appropriate fuses must be employed. Ensure that the power
cord is firmly attached to the line filter on the rear panel.
1.2.2 Grounding
The EQ 55 is a sophisticated piece of electronic equipment. To reduce risk of
electrical shock, properly ground the unit to the ship's ground using the wing nut
ground stud on the back of the unit.
