User manual SIMRAD MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT SCHEMA REV F

[. . . ] The Simrad MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT is an "off the shelf" commercial sonar. Due to the low price and short delivery time, the MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT sonar has quickly become an alternative to high cost naval sonars. The MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT comes with a choice of three different hull units capable of handling vessel speeds up to 24 knots, or it may be supplied for fixed installation in a streamlined dome. [. . . ] The MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT comes with a choice of three different hull units capable of handling vessel speeds up to 24 knots, or it may be supplied for fixed installation in a streamlined dome. The compact hull unit and transceiver requires a minimum of space in the sonar room, and can be adapted to most existing sonar installation trunks. The installation is simple, and may be done in a matter of hours. The hull unit and transceiver are installed in the sonar room, while the operating panel and the processor unit are installed in the operation room. The only required interfaces for the sonar are information from GPS and Gyro. Speed log and motion reference (MRU) inputs are optional. The sonar's internal clock can be synchronized from the GPS. As the only commercial omni directional sonar in the market, Simrad use transceivers Multi frequency operation with 11 different operation frequencies Vertical Modes Dual Modes Omni directional mode provides instantaneous detection, and tracking of targets 360° around the vessel in 64 beams Single beam mode for operation in enclosed waters Narrow vertical and horizontal beams for shallow water operation Short and long range operation with hyperbolic FM operation and high resolution Compact hull unit and transceiver unit for quick installation on new or old vessels Sealed transceiver unit with heat exchanger for best reliability Electronic stabilization for improved detection of small mid water targets or for wreck detection Automatic or manual target tracking, position tracking, Information of own ship's track, target movement, range, depth, bearing, speed and heading for up to three different targets. Zoom Data output to external equipment of target information: position, range and bearing to target, target speed and heading. CW and hyperbolic FM operation Context sensitive on-line help Full set of user and technical documentation provided with hyperbolic FM technology for improved resolution and filtering away unwanted reverberation (unwanted disturbance echoes) from surface and bottom making the real echoes easier to detect under difficult conditions. The Simrad MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT sonar offers unique features such as full circle beam stabilization for easier detection in poor weather. The MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT sonar have user settings, picture memories, resizable windows, three target tracks and/or marks, off centre, zoomfunctions and dual ranges. Software options are extended range and scientific out put. Horizontal and vertical beams The combination of vertical and horizontal presentations show you the targets both from above and from the side at the same time. It is not necessary to go over the target to see the vertical distribution on the echo sounder. Bow up/180° vertical The vertical slice is made "tippable", and by selecting a 60° tip angle (or less), a full 180° coverage is obtained.
