BATS AND PORTABLE BATS INSTALLATION
2-17
2.2 BATS DESK TOP CONSOLE (TRANSCEIVER)
The convenience and comfort of the operator are the primary considerations for installing the Desk
Top console & PC. The BATS consists of a single 2U enclosure (3.5 inches high each), configurable
for either Rack mount or Desktop operation, and couples to a Customer Furnish PC or laptop. Place
the unit where it is most conveniently operated (LED’s visible) and protected from foul weather and
sea spray. E.g., Indoors on a bench top. See Figure 1-4. Typically a Laptop can be placed on top of
the BATS Console. A typical rack mount setup for the three Modules is shown in Figure 1-1.
The system requires the following inter-connections along with a suitable power source and free
access for connecting the deck cable.
Interface connections:
 Line Voltage/AC power (100-240VAC auto switching)
 Ethernet from Transceiver to PC/ Laptop
 Transceiver (Model 4460C) to Hydrophone Deck Cable (Model 4113C-DT)
 Trigger/Sensor Interface Cable (optional)
 Motion Reference Interface (Analog or RS232) (optional)
2.2.1 BATS - LINE VOLTAGE (IEC CONNECTOR)
The BATS line voltage can be in the range of 98 to 132 or 170 to 264; 50 or 60 Hz. The unit auto-
matically switches to the higher range when the voltage is sensed. If the voltage goes below the
high range minimum or 170, the system does not automatically switch to the lower range, it must
be turned off and on again. Connect the desk top unit to a suitable power source using the IEC AC
cable.

If using an inverter to power the Deck Unit from a battery, make sure that the inverter’s ground
contact is tied to the sea water. This connects the box/chassis to the sea water potential and not
float to a dangerous potential.
