BATS AND PORTABLE BATS INSTALLATION

2.2.8 BATS - SYNCHRONIZATION INTERFACE
The SYNC connector on the BATS Transceiver allows input of an external trigger source and also
outputs a Sync pulse on each interrogation. For example, a tow fish responder that triggers the
beacon can also trigger the Transceiver to Sync the two units together. Also, a responder on an
ROV can be triggered via the differential signal at the SYNC connector. See Figure 2-13 for
connections and Figure 2-14 (4450BA0079) for the provided cable assembly. The mating connector
is a MS3106A-20-29P.
2.2.8.1 INPUT TRIGGER
The Transceiver can be externally triggered via the “SYNC” connector located on the rear panel of
the desk top unit. A synchronization cable is provided (4450BA0079) for Trigger In, Trigger_Out1
and /Trigger_Out1. See Figure 2-14. This can be connected between an external key source (trig-
ger source can range from TTL to +15V) and the BATS Transceiver. Connect the external trigger
between the TRIG-IN1-LO and the TRIG-IN1-HI
2
. The external trigger for Target #1 becomes the
master for all other targets when in this mode. All other targets switch to external mode, (via
Trackman Software) synching from the trigger #1’s source. Set the Trigger edge that you want to
trigger the unit with in the Trackman Software. See section 3.

NOTE: The REMOTE-IN trigger is optically coupled.
