ES70 External triggering Whenever more than one hydroacoustic system (echo sounder or sonar) is installed on a vessel, interference may occur.
Simrad ES70 Master system On the ES70 computer, RTS (pin 7) goes logical “low” (typically +10 Vdc) approximately 2 to 3 ms prior to transmitting, and returns to logical “high” (typically -10 Vdc) when the echo sounder have finished sampling the echo data. Slave system The ES70 triggers on a positive edge from the sonar (level exceeds +3 Vdc) on CTS (pin 8). Note On Simrad ES70 software versions prior to 2.2.0. pin 7 on the echo sounder must not be connected when the echo sounder runs in “slave” mode.
Interfaces and integration Connect the ground wire to one of the Ground pins (18-22). Slave system If an external system is used to provide the transmit trigger, the trigger signal must be connected to one of the TrigIn inputs on the transceiver’s Auxiliary connector. When activated. the trigger signal from the external system will allow the ES70 system to transmit. If more than one transceiver is used by the Slave system, the input trigger must be connected to all the transceivers in parallel.

Transducer Installation Transducer Installation The purpose of this chapter is to provide generic descriptions and illustrations allowing the reader to understand the basic principles for echo sounder transducer installation. Note The information in this document must be regarded as general guidelines and recommendations only. The installation shipyard must design and manufacture installation hardware to fit each individual transducer and vessel.
Simrad ES70 1 The upper water layers of the sea contain a myriad of small air bubbles created by the breaking waves. In heavy seas the upper 5 to 10 metres may be filled with air, and the highest concentrations will be near the surface. Air bubbles absorb and reflect the sound energy, and they may in worst cases block the sound transmission altogether. 2 Another reason to go deep is the cavitation in front of high power transducers.
Transducer Installation Figure 21 Boundary water layer A Turbulent flow B Laminar flow C Air bubbles in the water Furthermore, air bubbles in the sea water are pressed down below the hull and mixed into the boundary layer. The boundary layer is thin underneath the forward part of the vessel, and increases in thickness as it moves towards aft. If the sides of the hull are steep, some of the air bubbles in the boundary layer may escape to the sea surface along the vessel sides.
Simrad ES70 rule. Certain thruster designs combined with its physical location on the hull may still offer suitable transducer locations near the thruster. If you are in doubt, consult a naval architect. Mount the transducer with a slightly inclined transducer face Ideally, the transducer face should be mounted in parallel with the sea surface when the vessel is in normal trim, as this will provide the most accurate echo information.
Transducer Installation If the vessel hull has a bulbous bow, this may well be a good transducer location, but also here must be taken into consideration the flow pattern of the aerated water. Often the foremost part of the bulb is preferable. Figure 23 Recommended location of the transducer on a bulbous hull A Thruster B Transducer location How to install the transducer There are many different ways to mount the transducer.
Simrad ES70 External mounting of streamlined transducer Certain transducers have a streamlined housing, and these are designed for installation outside the hull. These transducers are mainly used on smaller vessels. A location approximately 0.5 m aside from the keel may be adequate for the passage of water between the keel and the transducer. The figures illustrate external mounting of transducers on steel hulls and on wood or polyester hulls respectively.
Transducer Installation Example: Streamlined transducer on steel hull A fairing (A), made by the shipyard, is placed between the transducer and the hull. It is required in order to adapt for the deadrise angle of the hull, and it will also house a cable service loop (B). The fairing can be made of wood or steel, and should have the same outline dimensions as the transducer.
Simrad ES70 Example: Streamlined transducer on wooden or polyester hull A fairing (A), made by the shipyard, is placed between the transducer and the hull. It is required in order to adapt for the deadrise angle of the hull, and will also house a cable service loop (B). The fairing is made from wood, polyester or steel, and should have the same outline dimensions as the transducer. Use tarred felt (H) between the fairing and the hull.
Transducer Installation Example: Streamlined transducer on hull with flat bottom If the vessel’s hull is flat you do not need a fairing. The transducer is then be bolted directly to the hull using two bronze or stainless steel bolts (I) and a cable bushing. Note that the cable bushing must be mounted with proper gaskets (4) under and over the hull, as well as sealing compound (J) around its body. Also, fill the bolt holes with a filling compound to ensure a smooth transducer surface.
Simrad ES70 Smooth surface is important Mounting screws or bolts must not be extruding from the transducer or the area immediately around it. Make sure that the surface of the transducer face, the installation hardware used to mount it, the hull plating and the putty around the transducer is as even and smooth as possible. Obstructions on these surfaces will create problems with turbulent flow.
Transducer Installation Example: Large circular transducer The illustration below shows a typical transducer blister designed for a large transducer. Note that due to the physical size of the transducer, a U-shaped support bar (E) is used to support the transducer. The purpose of this support is to prevent the transducer from being pushed up into the blister in heavy seas.
Simrad ES70 Example: Small circular transducer The illustration below shows a typical transducer blister designed for a small transducer. The same blister design principles as for a large transducer apply. Figure 29 Small circular transducer E E A B (CD017010B) F G A Streamlined blister B Mounting ring C Clamping ring D Guide E Air outlet F Forward G Transducer cable C D Note that the transducer cable must be provided with a cable loop inside the blister.
Transducer Installation Example: Medium sized circular transducer without clamping ring The illustration below shows a transducer blister designed for a medium sized transducers. The same blister design principles apply. Note that the transducer is mounted without a clamping ring, which makes it necessary to use a different mounting ring design.
Simrad ES70 The interior of the blister must be filled with sea water. Use drainage holes in the bottom and an air outlet on the top. The water pressure behind the transducer will then compensate for the outside pressure during vessel movements in rough sea. We recommend that large diameter transducers are fitted with a horizontal U-shaped support bar. This bar can then be secured to the mounting ring using threaded rods. The transducer cable penetrates the hull in a stuffing tube.
Transducer Installation Observe the horizontal and vertical distances (C and D) between the keel and the transducer blister. On a medium sized vessel, the horizontal distance (C) should be approximately 1 meter. The vertical distance (D) must in general be as small as possible. This is important to prevent the keel from shadowing the transducer beam in shallow waters.
Simrad ES70 Use a horizontal support bar on large transducers We strongly recommend that large transducers are fitted with a horizontal support bar. The purpose of this support bar is to protect the transducer from damage in the event of slamming. This happens if the vessel hull climbs out of the water in heavy seas. The force of the water when the hull falls down may push the transducer up and cause damage to its mounting. The support bar can be secured to the mounting ring using threaded rods.
Transducer Installation Use mounting and clamping rings whenever provided Circular transducers may be provided with mounting and clamping rings, or with drawings to allow for local production of these. The mounting ring is welded to the hole prepared for the transducer, while the clamping ring fits around the edge of the transducer body. Bolts through the clamping ring into the mounting ring will secure the transducer between them.
Simrad ES70 Example: Flush mounting in a steel tank Transducer mounting in a steel tank is shown in the figure below. Figure 33 Flush mounting in a steel tank A Steel tank B Water C Drainage hole D Cable service loop E Steel tube for air outlet F Stuffing tube G Cable in steel conduit G E F A B D (CD17012A) C Transducer with acoustic window Vessels operating in arctic waters need special attention on transducer installation.
Transducer Installation Example: Acoustic window The transducer shown in the figure below is mounted inside the tank behind a strong acoustic window which could be made of polycarbonate. The tank is filled with oil. Figure 34 Acoustic window F A Steel tank B Oil C Acoustic window D Cable service loop E Stuffing tube F Cable in steel conduit G Oil inlet G E A D B (CD017012B) C Transducer mounted inside the hull The transducer can also be mounted inside the hull.
Simrad ES70 Smooth surface is important Mounting screws or bolts must not be extruding from the transducer or the area immediately around it. Make sure that the surface of the transducer face, the installation hardware used to mount it, the hull plating and the putty around the transducer is as even and smooth as possible. Obstructions on these surfaces will create problems with turbulent flow. Example: Mounting inside the hull The transducer shown in the figure below is mounted inside the hull.
Transducer Installation Transducer mounted on a drop keel The use of a drop keel with the purpose of stabilising the vessel is well known. A drop keel is also a superior platform for echo sounder transducers. Such instrument keels have been built, mainly on research vessels, often protruding as far as three meters below the hull. At that depth, the water is free of air bubbles up to very high sea states.
Simrad ES70 Retractable transducer Hull units allowing the transducer to be lowered and hoisted are commonly used for horizontal looking sonars. When not in use, the transducer is retracted into a trunk. The retractable hull unit is more expensive than a blister, but on vessels with a hull where it is difficult or impossible to install a blister, it may still be worth while. The principles of a hull unit with a retractable transducer is shown below.
Transducer Installation Use mounting and clamping rings whenever provided Circular transducers may be provided with mounting and clamping rings, or with drawings to allow for local production of these. The mounting ring is welded to the hole in the towed array, while the clamping ring fits around the edge of the transducer body. Bolts through the clamping ring into the mounting ring will then secure the transducer between them.
Simrad ES70 Medium and large transducers The illustration below shows the installation principle of a medium or large transducers. Note that a clamping ring is not required, as the transducer body is shaped to facilitate this function.
Transducer Installation Dual transducer arrangement The illustration below shows a typical through the hull installation of small and large circular transducers on a towed body. Figure 38 Dual transducer arrangement (CD017201B) C A A Small transducer B Medium or larger transducer C Electronic equipment in watertight compartment B Transducer cable glands and splicing The transducer cable must pass through the hull using approved cable glands for the type of vessel in question.
Simrad ES70 About cable glands A steel cable gland is normally used on professional vessels with steel hulls. A bronze cable gland can be delivered as an option for vessels with wood or fibreglass hulls. Vessel not to be classified can as an option use a cable gland made of plastic. Note Simrad strongly recommends that a length of conduit is fitted around transducer cable glands made of steel or bronze and extended over the water-line inside the vessel.

Simrad ES70 Transducer cable splicing If you need to cut or lengthen the transducer cable, you must splice it correctly. The cable between the junction box and the transceiver must then be supplied by Simrad, and this must be the same type as used on the transducer(s). To splice the cable, use a metal junction box with EMC cable glands and a terminal block. The terminal block must provide solid fastening of the cable ends as well as sufficient insulation between the wires.
Transducer Installation Steel conduits qualities and shielding The steel conduit must be unbroken and watertight from the transducer to above the water line. From there, the cable can be pulled further, or a junction box can be installed to facilitate further connections. Note that the steel conduit must act as a continuous electrical screen all the way. Steel conduit dimensions: • minimum 35 mm inner diameter • minimum 6 mm wall thickness (4.
Simrad ES70 Special rules for acoustic windows Arctic tanks have acoustic windows made of polycarbonate. These must neither be painted nor cleaned with chemicals. Acoustic windows must not be exposed to direct sunlight. Rules for transducer maintenance Once installed, the transducer is maintenance free. However, when the vessel is docked, it is highly recommended to clean the transducer face to remove marine growth. 1 Perform a thorough visual check of the transducer.

The latter convention (called Tate-Bryant in the POS/MV documentation) is used inside the system in all data displays and in logged data (a transformation is applied if the roll is given with respect to the horizontal).

The latter convention (called Tate-Bryant in the POS/MV documentation) is used inside the system in all data displays and in logged data (a transformation is applied if the roll is given with respect to the horizontal). Note that heave is displayed and logged as positive downwards (the sign is changed) including roll and pitch induced lever arm translation to the system’s transmit transducer.

Simrad ES70 • H = Heading aided mode and stable data. The sensor operates with external input of heading data. • h = Heading aided mode but unstable data. The sensor operates with external input of heading data, but the data from the sensor is unstable. A probable cause for this is the lack of alignment after the sensor has been switched on restarted, or a failure in the heading data input. • F = Full aided mode and stable data. The sensor operates with external input of both speed and heading data.

Simrad ES70 APPENDIX A — GENERAL SAFETY RULES The Simrad ES70 Fish finding echo sounder system operates on 230 Vac 50/60 Hz. WARNING This voltage may be lethal! The following safety precautions must be followed at all times during installation and maintenance work: • Always switch off all power before installation or maintenance. Use the main circuit breaker, and label the breaker with a warning sign that informs others that maintenance or installation work is being carried out on the system.
Appendix B Equipment handling APPENDIX B — EQUIPMENT HANDLING This section provides the basic rules for transportation, storage and handling of units. In this context, a unit may be any large or small part of the system. It can be supplied as part of the initial delivery, or as a spare part.
Simrad ES70 Ensure that all available lifting lugs are used. Ensure the unit remains under control during the operation to avoid damage to the unit, equipment or personnel. Heavy units may be transported using a forklift truck. Special attention must then be paid to the position of the unit’s centre of gravity. The units must be properly secured to the truck.
Appendix B Equipment handling 13 If the unit contains normal batteries, these may have been disconnected/isolated before the unit was packed. These must only be reconnected before the installation starts. Units containing batteries are marked. Caution Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be handled separately and with care. Such units are marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such batteries, open them or dispose of them by incineration. Refer to the applicable product data sheets.
Simrad ES70 1 Check the carton before opening it to ensure it shows no signs of dropping, immersion in water or other mishandling. If the carton shows signs of such damage, refer to the paragraph covering Inspection on receipt. 2 Place the carton on a stable work bench or on the floor with the top of the carton uppermost. 3 In the absence of other instructions, always open the top of the carton first.
Appendix B Equipment handling Unpacking transducers Transducers may be supplied mounted to a hull unit (if any), or packed separately. Crates are normally identified by the order number and the serial number. The transducer face must be protected by a rigid, padded cover (e.g. a wooden box lined with foam rubber) all the time it is exposed to the risk of physical damage.
Simrad ES70 Cleaning cabinets If a cabinet has been exposed to salt atmosphere while it was in use, it must be thoroughly cleaned both internally and externally to prevent corrosion. 1 Wipe the cabinet externally using a damp cloth and a little detergent. Do not use excessive amounts of water as the unit may not be water tight. On completion, dry the unit thoroughly. 2 All surfaces must be inspected for signs of corrosion, flaking/bubbling paint, stains etc.
Appendix B Equipment handling Internal batteries If the unit contains batteries, these may discharge slowly during storage. If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, disconnect or remove all internal batteries. A suitable piece of insulating material can be placed between the battery and the electrical contacts to prevent electrical discharge. The battery can then remain in the unit, reducing the risk of it being misplaced during the storage period.
Simrad ES70 Must not be transported or stored in temperatures below -5 degrees Celsius. Other units can normally be stored in temperatures between -30° C and +70° C, refer to the system’s technical specifications for details. Unless otherwise specified, transducers must not be stored in temperatures below -20° C and above +60° C. Circuit board handling and packaging Circuit boards are delicate items.
Appendix B Equipment handling Unpacking on board the vessel When you are working on board a vessel, an “approved conductive service mat” is often far away. As you still need to unpack circuit boards, make sure that you do it in the instrument room, or at another location where you have a steel deck. Keep far away from the bridge or any other rooms with wall-to-wall carpets! If possible, bring a wristband and ground yourself.
Simrad ES70 2 The service personnel involved must wear a wristband in direct contact with the skin, connected to the service mat. 3 Printed circuit boards must be placed on the conductive service mat during installation, maintenance etc. 4 If, for any reason, it is necessary to move the circuit board from the conductive service mat, it must be placed in an approved antistatic transportation container (e.g. static shielding bag) before transportation.
Appendix C Basic cable requirements APPENDIX C — BASIC CABLE REQUIREMENTS This chapter provides general information related to the installation of system cables.
Simrad ES70 • To allow for future expansion of the system, all cables should be allocated spare conductor pairs. Also, space within the vessel should be set aside for the installation of extra cables.
Appendix C Basic cable requirements and designed to ensure a good ground connection. The glands used must be firmly attached to, and in good electrical contact with, a metal structure grounded in accordance with these recommendations. Electrical continuity must be ensured along the entire length of all cable coverings, particularly at joints and splices. In no case should the shielding of cables be used as the only means of grounding cables or units.
