Schools of fish can be tracked, followed and studied using multiple transmissions.
Simrad MS70 System description The Simrad MS70 is the world’s first quantitative multibeam sonar for fishery research applications The MS70 transducer array provides a matrix of acoustic beams. The array is normally mounted on a drop keel, which allows it to look horizontally. The MS70 allows you to perform characterization and volume estimation of a school of fish using a single transmission. Schools of fish can be tracked, followed and studied during multiple transmissions.
Simrad MS70 The 25 cables from the transducer (D) are connected to the three transceiver shelves (TRXU) in the transceiver (B). An Ethernet switch controlling two local area networks within the transceiver distribute the processing tasks between the six beamforming computers (TRC). The operator station is connected to these networks by means of an Ethernet cable (1).
Simrad MS70 The main components in the transceiver are: • 3 ea TRXU Transceiver subracks • 6 ea TRC Beamforming computers • 1 ea Ethernet switch • Cabinet fan unit Power Supply Unit The Simrad MS70 comprises three Power Supply Units. Each unit provides AC and DC power to one of the three transceiver racks in the transceiver. External analogue power supplies have been chosen to ensure minimum electric noise.

Installation planning Installation planning This chapter provides the marine engineers responsible for the installation the information necessary to plan the installation the Simrad MS70 according to Kongsberg Maritime’s requirements. Correct installation of the MS70 transducer is vital to the system’s performance. Several variables must be taken into consideration, the most important of which is the vessel’s construction.
Simrad MS70 Where to mount the transducer A single answer to the question where to locate the transducer cannot be given. It depends very much on the vessel’s construction, how the hull is shaped and how the water runs along the hull. There are however a number of important guide lines, and some of these are even conflicting. Mount the transducer deep Mount the transducer at a deep position on the hull. Consider the situations when the vessel is unloaded, and when it is pitching in heavy seas.
Installation planning For the same reason, it is very important that the hull area around the transducer face is as smooth and level as possible. Even traces of sealing compound, sharp edges, protruding bolts or bolt holes without filling compound will create noise. Avoid the boundary water layer Mount the transducer at the forward part of the hull to minimise the effects from the boundary water layer.
Simrad MS70 Avoid all propellers Mount the transducer far away from the propellers. The propulsion propeller is the dominant noise source on most fishing vessels, research vessels, merchant vessels and pleasure crafts. The noise is transmitted through the sea water. For this reason, the transducer should be placed far away from the propeller, which means on the fore part of the hull. Positions outside the direct line of sight from the propeller are favourable.
Installation planning 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 6 Recommended location of the transducer on a bulbous hull A Thruster B Transducer location Sonar room requirements The “sonar room” is the compartment in which the Transceiver Unit and the Power Supply Units are installed.
Simrad MS70 Insulation Bulkheads must be insulated and provided with an interior wall to the deck. The insulation should be the minimum equivalent of 50 mm of rock-wool. In addition, piping passing through the space prone to condensation must be insulated. Ventilation The sonar room must be connected to the vessel’s ventilation system. If this is not possible, two 3” vents must be provided from the sonar room to the main deck.
Installation planning • Transducer cables The power cables from the three Power Supply Unit cabinets must be run in steel conduits. → Steel conduits for power cables on page 56 The majority of the cables are provided by Kongsberg Maritime, but certain cables (in particular the cables to the external sensors) must be provided by the installation shipyard.
Simrad MS70 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. This information 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.
Transducer installation Transducer description The Simrad MS70 transducer is a short cylindrical container with the transducer array located at the bottom. The transducer cables penetrate the top of the cylinder. Figure 7 The Simrad MS70 transducer The transducer is mounted with twelve -12- bolts with M12 thread. A mounting ring must be welded to the blister plate. A clamping ring is then inserted sideways towards the mounting ring.
Simrad MS70 Handling rules Note Do not expose the transducer to direct sunlight! Do not expose the transducer to excessive heat! Do not use high pressure water, sand blasting or metal tools to clean the transducer face! Do not use strong solvents to clean the transducer face! Related topics • Rules for transducer handling on page 44 How to lift the transducer out of its transport crate The Simrad MS70 transducer is shipped in a large wooden crate.
Transducer installation 2 Remove the transport beam across the top of the transducer body. 3 Mount the three 10 mm lifting eye bolts. 4 Lift the transducer straight up and out of the crate. Support the cables during the lift to keep the transducer body from tilting sideways. 5 Place the protective wooden plate under the transducer body to protect its face. Transducer installation procedure Observe the following procedures to install the Simrad MS70 transducer array.

Simrad MS70 Cables Place the cables in the cable ducts, and pull them through the applicable seals to the sonar room. 2 Check and verify that cables are installed in such a way that they are protected from sharp edges, shock and vibration, as well as occasional work on the vessel.
Transducer installation Transducer cables and conduit 25 cables arranged in three groups are used to connect the MS70 transducer array to the 19” rack with the transceiver circuitry. A Steel conduit B Watertight seal C Allow the transducer cables to move freely up and down D Secure the cables here E Steel conduit Figure 11 Designing the cable conduit By default, each cable is 25 meters long. The cables are cut to fit each individual installation.
Simrad MS70 Transducer alignment The Simrad MS70 is a precision instrument for scientific use. In order to produce data that are both detailed and correct, it is necessary to calibrate the survey vessel more accurately than what may have been a standard practice earlier. The results, with all measurements taken in a common vessel coordinate system must be entered as MS70 operational parameters.
Transducer installation It is easiest to perform these measurements with the vessel in dry dock, the others may be done with the vessel berthed. It is however recommended to perform these when in dry dock During the sea trials (SAT), calibration surveys are required as described in the MS70 Reference Manual. Based on the calibration parameters determined from these surveys, proper values are entered into the MS70 as operational parameters.
Simrad MS70 Figure 12 Vessel coordinate system with the reference point on the water line A Downward (Z-axis) B Starboard (Y-azis) C D A B C -Z Forward (X-axis) Reference point (origo) -Y -X D +X +Y (CD017013D) +Z Reference points must be established on the vessel at selected positions. These are needed during measurements of the sensor positions. Visual markings at these positions should be prepared and noted on the vessel drawings with X, Y and Z coordinates in the vessel coordinate system.
Transducer installation Heading sensor The alignment of the motion sensor and the heading sensor must be adjusted so that they provide zero values for pitch, roll and heading with the vessel lying still with normal trim and a true North heading. It is recommended that this takes place in the dry dock. Alternatively, the offsets from zero must be determined. This is easiest to do with the vessel berthed. Follow the procedures in the applicable sensor manuals.

Transducer installation Note If the Motion Sensor performs lever arm correction to give heave data valid for another location than where it is actually mounted, it is this location which must be measured. 3 Set up the forward axis on the motion sensor with the X-axis of the vessel’s coordinate system to an accuracy of ±0.1°.
Simrad MS70 Coordinate systems The heading of the transducer array is measured as the heading of the projection of a line through the face index marks into the horizontal plane of the vessel coordinate system. If the array is mounted in such a way that the X-axis is vertical, the heading angle must be measured as the heading of the Y-axis with 90° subtracted. See the definition below.
Transducer installation Heading sensor calibration It may not be possible to calibrate the heading sensor accurately enough through sea trials, so the calibration is normally done with the vessel berthed. On the quay the geographical coordinates of two points must be known or measured so that the heading of a line on the quay can be established to an accuracy of better than ±0.1°.
Simrad MS70 Transducer handling and maintenance You MUST observe the following rules for handling, cleaning, maintenance and painting.
Transducer installation 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. 2 If necessary, clean the transducer • To clean the transducer, use normal synthetic soap and water. • To remove marine growth, use fine-grade sandpaper or emery paper.

Power Supply Unit installation Power Supply Unit installation This chapter explains how to do the physical installation of the Power Supply Units. The three units are installed in the sonar room within reasonable distance from the Transceiver Unit. The physical length of the power cables limit the physical distance between each Power Supply Unit and the Transceiver Unit.
Simrad MS70 About the Power Supply Unit The Simrad MS70 comprises three Power Supply Units. Each unit provides AC and DC power to one of the three transceiver racks in the transceiver. External analogue power supplies have been chosen to ensure minimum electric noise. In order to reduce the voltage drop in the power cables between each Power Supply Unit and the Transceiver Unit, these cables must be kept as short as possible. The cables must also be run in steel conduits to minimize electric noise.
Power Supply Unit installation 3 4 5 Provide ample space around the cabinet to allow for ventilation, inspection, maintenance and parts replacement. Make sure that the cabinet door can be fully dismounted for unobstructed access to its internal parts. • Minimum space requirement, front: 80 cm • Minimum space requirement, rear: 0 cm • Minimum space requirement, below: 0 cm (provided that the four feet are mounted) Check that the environmental requirements (temperature and humidity) for the sonar are met.
Simrad MS70 Steel conduits for power cables Note Due to the voltages and currents provided by the power supplies, steel conduits are imperative. Figure 18 Steel conduits principle The power cables from the three Power Supply Unit cabinets to the Transceiver Unit must be run in steel conduits.

Simrad MS70 Appendix A 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.
Appendix A Equipment handling Lifting A heavy crate will normally be marked with its weight, and the weights of other cartons or crates will normally be entered on the packing list. • You must always check the weight of a crate before you attempt to lift it. • You must always use lifting apparatus that is approved and certified for the load. Heavy units may be equipped with lifting lugs for transportation by crane within the workshop or installation area.
Simrad MS70 8 The storage room/area must be dry, with a non-condensing atmosphere. It must be free from corrosive agents. 9 The storage area’s mean temperature must not be lower than -30° C, and not warmer than +70° C. If other limitations apply, the crates will be marked accordingly. 10 The crate must not be exposed to moisture from fluid leakages. 11 The crate must not be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive warmth from heaters. 12 The crate must not be subjected to excessive shock and vibration.
Appendix A Equipment handling Note If the unit is not to be prepared for immediate use, you may consider storing it unopened in its original packing material. However, it may be useful to open the case to check its contents for damage and retrieve any accompanying documentation. Do not use a knife to open cardboard cartons - the contents may lie close to the surface, and may be damaged by the blade.
Simrad MS70 Unpacking mechanical units Mechanical units may be heavy. Using a suitably certified lifting apparatus, lift the unit out of the crate and place it in a stable position on the floor/work bench. Inspect the unit for damage and remove any packing material that may be inside the unit. 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.
Appendix A Equipment handling Storage after use If a unit is removed from its operating location and placed into storage, it must be properly cleaned and prepared before packing. 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.
Simrad MS70 Cables Wipe clean all exposed cables, and check for damage. If a cable shows signs of wear or ageing, contact Kongsberg Maritime for advice. 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.
Appendix A Equipment handling Temperature protection If the unit must be protected against extremes of temperature, the carton/crate must be lined on all walls, base and lid with 5 cm thick polyurethane or polystyrene foam. These units will be identified as delicate in the applicable documentation. The package must then be clearly marked: Must not be transported or stored in temperatures below -5 degrees Celsius.
Simrad MS70 7 Keep the protective plastic bag for future use. 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.
Appendix A Equipment handling 1 The working area must be covered by an approved conductive service mat that has a resistance of between 50 kΩ and 2 MΩ, and is connected directly to a reliable earth point via its earthing cord. 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.
Simrad MS70 Appendix B Basic cable requirements This chapter provides general information related to the installation of system cables.
Appendix B Basic cable requirements • Signal cables must not be installed in the same cable tray or conduit as high-power cables. • Cables containing insulation materials with different maximum-rated conductor temperatures should not be bunched together (that is, in a common clip, gland, conduit or duct). When this is impractical, the cables must be carefully arranged such that the maximum temperature expected in any cable in the group is within the specifications of the lowest-rated cable.
Simrad MS70 Grounding All metallic cable coverings (armour, metallic sheathing etc.) must be electrically connected to the vessel’s hull at both ends except in the case of final sub-circuits where they should be connected at the supply end only. Grounding connections should be made using a conductor which has a cross-sectional area appropriate for the current rating of the cable, or with a metal clamp which grips the metallic covering of the cable and is bonded to the hull of the vessel.
Appendix B Basic cable requirements Cable identification Cable identification codes corresponding to the cable number shown in the cable plan must be attached to each of the external cables. These identification codes should be positioned on the cable in such a way that they are readily visible after all panels have been fitted. In addition, each cable conductor should be marked with the terminal board number or socket to which it is connected.
