BATS AND PORTABLE BATS INSTALLATION

2.3 PORTABLE BATS TRANSCEIVER
The Portable BATS Transceiver (Model 4461A) is splash proof when the case cover is closed and
interface cables are mated properly. A laptop or PC is required to interface to the unit via Ethernet
port. The Ethernet cable (4450BA0133) provided is 16 feet (5m) long (Figure 2-13). Make sure the
laptop or PC is well protected unless it is also splashproof.
The Portable BATS requires the following inter-connections along with a suitable power source and
free access for connecting the interface cables. All interface connections are made on the right side
of the unit via underwater connectors. See Figure 1-6. The ON/OFF switch and fuseholder are also
located on same panel. The system LED’s are located under the top cover. Once setup has been
completed (setup LED’s have been confirmed) the cover can be closed and the unit is extremely
splash proof.
The unit can accept input Voltages ranging from 100 to 240VAC, 50-60 Hz, and automatically
switches between the ranges.
Interface connections:
 Line Voltage/AC power (100-240VAC auto switching) (Figure 2-15)
 Ethernet from Transceiver to PC/ Laptop (Figure 2-13)
 Transceiver (Model 446A1) to Hydrophone Deck Cable (Model 4113C) (Figure 2-7)
 Trigger/Sensor Interface Cable (optional) (Figure 2-17)
2.3.1 PORTABLE BATS LINE VOLTAGE
The Portable’s line Voltage can be in the range of 100 to 240; 50 or 60 Hz. The unit automatically
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 Portable Transceiver from the Power Cord (Figure 2-15; B958608) to
a suitable power source.

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