• The $SDDBS telegram contains the depth below the

surface.

• The $SDDBT telegram contains the depth below the

transducer.

• The $SDDPT telegram contains the depth below the

transducer and the distance between the transducer and

the water line.

• The Simrad telegram outputs information compatible

for EA500 and EK500 echo sounders.

External triggering

Whenever more than one hydroacoustic system (echo sounder

or sonar) is installed on a vessel, interference may occur. To

avoid this, the systems may either be connected to a c ommon

synchronization system, or one of the acoustic systems may be

deﬁned as a Master.

The ES60 echo sounder include interface for remote transmit

synchronisation. The system can be set up to operate in either

Master or Slave mode in relation to an external synchronization

or hydroacoustic system.

The ES60 system may comprise more than one General

Purpose Transceiver. If the ES60 operates as a Master,the

synchronization between these are controlled by the echo

sounder software. If the echo sounder operates as a Slave system,

the transceivers must be individually controlled by the Master

system.

Note

In its default conﬁguration, the ES60 is set up to operate as a

Master. Special action must be taken to re-conﬁgure the echo

sounder for Slave operation.

Master system

When the ES60 system is set up to operate as a Master in a

system, the

TrigOut signal from t he transceiver ’s Auxiliary

connector must be connected to the external trigger input on the

other hydroacoustic system(s). If m ore than one transceiver is
