Cable layout

The number of serial line interfaces depends on your computer

make and model. For a typical integration of the ES60 Fish

ﬁnding echo sounder, we recommend that minimum three serial

lines are available. If your computer can not support this,

commercial RS-232/USB converters are available.

The ES60 Marine Computer is provided with an adapter. This

adapter allows you to connect four serial lines to the large

interface socket on the rear panel of the computer.

Adapter: Serial line adapter on page 57.

ES60/C08 - Universal Serial Bus (USB)

Most computers support one or more USB connectors for

peripheral devices. In a typical ES60 conﬁguration, the USB

connectors are not used. However, a USB interface may be

used to accept serial line information (providing a converter is

used). You can also use the USB interfaces to connect a mouse,

keyboard, printer or memory devices.

The number of USB sockets available depends on your computer

make and model. If more than one USB interface is used, add the

characters “A”, “B” to “n” to the cable identiﬁer.

Cable details: USB cable on page 55.

ES60/C09 - Ground

This cable is used to connect the display to ship’s ground. The

cable must be supplied by the installation shipyard.

Cable details: Ship’s ground on page 51.

ES60/C10 - External synchronisation

This cable is used to connect the General Purpose Tra

nsceiver

(GPT) to an e xternal system in order to provide tran

smission

control (synchronisation). This is a very u

seful feature if you

have other hydroacoustic systems on board

, and these transmit

and receive on the same frequency (or harm

onics of this

frequency) as the ES60 system. The cabl

e(s) must be supplied by

the installation shipyard.

Note

If more than one General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) is used by

the echo sounder system, the synchronization signal

TrigIn must

be connected to a

ll of them.

Cable details: GPT t rigger / synchronisation on page 59.
