C SH80 High frequency fishery sonar Operator manual WARNING The sonar must never be powered up when the ship is in dry dock. The transducer will be damaged if it transmits in open air. To prevent inadvertent use of the sonar, pull out the mains plug on the Sonar Processor Unit whenever the vessel is in dry dock. About this document Rev Rev.

The System test menu provides several test routines available to perform operational and functional tests. These tests are designed only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Parameters Test Configuration - This function is only to be activated by qualified service engineers. Test Function - This function is only to be activated by qualified service engineers. Toggle TxPower - This function is only to be activated by qualified service engineers. Test Beam - This function is only to be activated by qualified service engineers. Echo Level - This button provides a readout of the current noise in the waters surrounding the vessel. This noise is caused by air bubbles, water flow and mechanical disturbances from hull and engine. In order to obtain the best possible sonar result, the noise level readout should be as close to 0. 0 dB as possible. Roll - This is not a button, it is a readout from the sensor of the actual roll value at the time of the last transmission. Pitch - This is not a button, it is a readout from the sensor of the actual pitch value at the time of the last transmission. TRU Temp- This button provides a readout of the current temperature inside the Transceiver Unit. If the temperature rises to an unacceptable level, an alarm will be given. Interpolation - This is a built-in software function that may give a more realistic presentation of the echos. Message bar - This button opens the Message bar parameter dialogue, which allows you to monitor operational messages from the sonar. Installation menu - This button opens the Installation menu on the top of the display. This menu is used during installtion of the sonar, and information about this is provided in the Installation manual. 66 850-164385 / Rev.

[. . . ] Remember to set the hoisting/lowering switch back to Remote for normal operation. 850-164385 / Rev. C 159 Simrad SH80 Cleaning the transducer The transducer normally needs little attention. However, the transducer face should be inspected and cleaned whenever the vessel is in dock. To lower the transducer when in dock, use the hoist/lower switch S302 in the Motor Control Unit (mounted on the gantry). Set the switch to STOP to position the transducer at any vertical location.
