Interfaces and integration

Wiring procedure, analogue sensor

1 On the E S60 Fish ﬁnding echo sounder, connect the

positive signal from the sensor to pin 3 on the

Auxiliary

connector on the General Purpose Transceiver.

2 Connect the negative signal from the sensor to pin 16 on

the

Auxiliary connector.

• The negative heave input signal (pin 16) is grounded at

the sensor in order to prevent ground potential offsets

between the sensor and the transceiver from adding to

the sensed signal.

• Maximum cable length is virtually unlimited.

Wiring procedure, digital sensor (RS-232

interface)

1 Locate a free RS-232 serial port that can be used to connect

the heave sensor.

2 On the ES60 computer, connect the receive signal

Rx on

pin 2, and

ground on pin 5.

3 On the heave sensor, connect the transmit signal

Tx on pin

3, and

ground on pin 5.

4 Ensure that the length of the cable does not exceed

approximately 50 meters. If a longer cable is required, you

may need to use buffer ampliﬁers on the serial li ne.

Setup procedure, analogue sensor

1 On the ES60, access the Install menu, and open the Heave

sensor

dialogue box.

2 For

Source selection, select Analog.

3 Select which transceiver you have connected the heave

sensor to.

Setup procedure, digital sensor (RS-232 interface)

1 On the ES60, access the Install menu, and open the Heave

sensor

dialogue box.

2 Click the

RS232 button to open the RS232 Setup dialogue.

3 Enter the identiﬁcation of the RS-232 port you have used

to make the connection.

4 Enter the correct communication parameters, and click

OK.

5 Ensure that the transmit parameters on the heave sensor

matches t he receive parameters on the ES60.
