Installation manual

Introduction
controlled parameters include power output and time delay for
each transducer element i n order to form a beam with the selected
tilt angle.
When the stabilization system is active, the tilt angle for each
beam will automatically be corrected relative to the vessel’s pitch
and roll movements.
Optional functionality
The standard Simrad SH80 Fish finding sonar is a single 116 kHz
version with beam stabilization.
The beam stabilization was an optional function until 1 January
2003. After that date, the function was included with the standard
sonar delivery.
The options described below are preprogrammed into the
standard software version, and a code word is required to m ake
the actual option available. S imrad offers a 1 month free test
period for certain options. The Scientific Output function is not
available for such a test period. For a permanent installation
of a chosen option, a new code word will be released from
Simradwhen the option is ordered.
Multiple frequencies
In addition to the standard 116 kHz frequency, a multiple
frequency option is available. In this m ultiple frequency version
you can select between 13 frequencies from 110 to 122 kHz in 1
kHz steps.
Scientificoutput
The Scientific Output is designed for research purposes. When
activated, the following data are available on an Ethernet (LAN)
output:
•Beamdata
•Targetdata
• Own ship data
•Geardata
The scientific output option may also include software for a
Scientific Data Logger. Note that this option is not available for
afreetestperiod.
Peripheral equipment
TheSimradSH80Fishfi nding sonar requires connection to a
speed log and a course gyro. An inaccurate log or gyro i nput will
cause inaccurate indication of the vessel and target movements.
