Installation manual

Simrad ES60
ES60/C11 - External motion and temperature
sensors
The General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) will accept information
from external motion and temperature sensors. The cable(s)
must be supplied by the installation shipyard. If more than one
General P urpose Transceiver (GPT) is used by the echo sounder
system, t he motion and temperature sensors are connected to
only o
ne of them.
Cable details: GPT external sensors on page 60.
Additional information:
• Heave sensor interface on page 90
• Temperature sensor interface on page 92
• GPT Auxiliary connector on page 96
ES60/C12 - Remote on/off
The General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) allows you to design a
simple box with a separate on/off switch for the transceiver. An
on/off switch will prevent the transceiver from being powered up
constantly. S ome displays provide this functionality by means
of a “Remote” connector on the rear side. The cable must be
supplied by the installation shipyard. If more than one General
Purpose Transceiver (GPT) is used by the echo s ounder system,
we recommend that you install one separate on/off switch for
each unit.
Note
Do not use the spare wires in the ethernet cable to provide the
remote control facility!
Cable details: GPT remote on/off on page 58.
Additional information: GPT Auxiliary connector on page 96
ES60/C13 - GPT battery supply
The General Purpose Transceiver Unit (GPT) can be powered
from a DC supply. The power cable must be provided by the
installation shipyard.
Cable details: GPT battery on page 63.
ES60/C14 - Ethernet cable between computer and
transceiver
In a standard echo sounder c onfi guration with only one General
Purpose Transceiver, you must use a “crossover” ethernet cable
between the computer and the transceiver. The ethernet cable
must be provided by the installation shipyard.
