Installation manual

Installation procedures

8 Prepare and install the ethernet cable(s) between the

General Purpose Transceiver(s) and the computer:

• An Ethernet cable must be used between the General

Purpose Transceiver and the computer.

• If only one General Purpose Transceiver is used, you

need a twisted pair cable with swapped receive and

transmit wires. The cable is connected between the

transceiver and the computer.

• An Ethernet switch is required if your system includes

more than one General Purpose Transceiver. If a hub

is used, all ethernet cables must be of the “straight

through” type.

9 Prepare and install the required serial line interfaces.

• Connect navigation receiver, trawl system and heave

sensor with serial line output to the rear of t he echo

sounder computer using RS-232 cables. Heave sensors

with an analog output are connected directly to the

Auxiliary connector of the nearest transceiver.

10 If required, prepare and install the synchronization cable(s).

• Synchronous transmission is desirable if there are

several echo sounders on-board the vessel. For every

echo sounder and every transceiver on-board the ship,

connect the appropriate pins at the

Auxiliary connectors

together using a two-wire cable.

Conﬁguration

TheSimradES60Fishﬁnding echo sounder is designed as a

modular system. It supports a variety of conﬁgurations and

frequency options. The delivery may consist of:

• Transducer(s)

• General Purpose Transceiver(s) (GPT)

• Ethernet switch (if the system comprises more than one GPT)

• Processing Unit (computer)

• Display monitor

• Pointing device (mouse or trackball)

The computer, display monitor and pointing device may be

provided locally using standard commercial components.

Transducer

One or more transducers are included. A single frequency

General P urpose Transceiver will accept one transducer, while a

dual frequency transceiver will accept two transducers.
