INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the ESR-140 MkⅡSearchlight Sonar. We are confident you will enjoy using your unit for many years to come. This manual provides complete information on safely operating the ESR-140 MkⅡ. Please carefully read and follow the safety information so that the ESR-140 MkⅡ will perform to the utmost of its ability.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION SYMBOLS The following symbols are used in this manual. Please read this manual carefully and take note of these symbols. indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, DANGER will result in death or serious injury. indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WARNING could result in death or serious injury.
FOR YOUR SAFETY INSTALLATION SITE REQUIREMENTS Keep the unit away from the flammable gas. WARNING Otherwise it causes a fire. Follow the below proposed conditions for the installation. CAUTION Otherwise it cases a fire or an electrical shock. Away as much as possible from areas where the unit is likely to be exposed to direct water spray and free as much as possible from shocks and engine vibration.
Page 7
FOR YOUR SAFETY HANDLING Do not operate the unit while steering. DANGER Otherwise it will cause wrecks. Do not open the case cover. There is a risk of electrical shock if you touch the high voltage conductors. Only qualified personnel should work inside the unit. Care for sufficient reinforcement and being watertight should be taken when installing the hoist.
SONAR SYSTEM SUMMARY SONAR MODE A sonar system uses the transmitter-receiver as well as an echo sounder. An echo sounder is only able to search in one direction, down. However a sonar has a movable transducer and therefore can freely search the entire around a ship, not just the area directly beneath the ship.
Page 14
SONAR SYSTEM SUMMARY An echo sounder is only able to search in one direction within some beam angle, beneath the ship. A sonar, however, can freely search the broad range, since the transducer’s angle can be varied not only the horizontal direction but also the vertical direction. SONAR DISPLAY RANGE ECHO SOUNDER DISPLAY RANGE HORIZONTAL ANGLE (SECTOR) 180°...
SONAR SYSTEM SUMMARY TILT ANGLE The tilt angle shows the direction to which the sound 5゜ wave is emitted. The tilt angle can be set in step of 1° 0゜ from 0° to +5° (upward) to 0° to 90° (downward). TILT ANGLE Find out the suitable tilt angle for a given depth and SETTING RANGE...
SONAR SYSTEM SUMMARY TILT ANGLE AND DISPLAY In the shallow water the bottom reflection is prominent, so it is important to be able to distinguish fish echoes from the bottom echo. Therefore the setting of the tilt angle is important to find out the suitable tilt angle. ③...
SONAR SYSTEM SUMMARY BOTTOM SCAN MODE OWN SHIP POSITION When this mode is selected, the transmitter/ receiver does not rotate like a sonar, but sweeps from side to side like a pendulum FISH when the sound wave is emitted. The reflected echo from the sea SCHOOL bottom is displayed on the screen sequentially.
SONAR SYSTEM SUMMARY ECHO SOUNDER MODE The transmitter/receiver faces the sea bottom, and emits the ultra-sound beam. The reflected ECHO SOUNDER DISPLAY echo from the sea bottom is displayed on the screen. The image is displayed like a usual echo sounder. DETECTS DIRECTLY UNDER THE SHIP CHENGES THE TILT ANGLE The tilt angle and the direction can be changed.

Installation Conditions…………………………………………. 4 - 5 HOIST/LOWER UNIT ASSEMBLY 1.
Page 55
INSTALLATION Fully discussion and agreement are required with the ship owner and dockyard in deciding the location for the hull unit. Give careful considerations on mounting. INSTALLATION POSITION Select an area where noise, bubbles and interference from turbulences are minimal. The point at 1/3 to 1/2 of the ship’s length from the bow is the best.
INSTALLATION TRUNK PIPE INSTALLATION 1. MAINTENANCE SPACE When installing the Trunk Pipe, pay full attention to the safety (strength, water-tightness, etc.). At the same time, secure a space for maintenance and inspections. Since the Hoist unit is not a waterproof structure, keep it away from water drops and splashes.
INSTALLATION 2. INSTALLATION CONDITIONS The Trunk Pipe should be installed satisfying the following conditions. The position for installation should be within 1/3 to 1/2 of the overall length from the bow. It also should be on the keel or within 1 meter from the keel. FLANGE HOLE ANGLE There should be no obstacles 9...
INSTALLATION HOIST/LOWER UNIT ASSEMBLY 1. JOINT PIPE LENGTH Calculate necessary length of joint pipe from the length of Trunk pipe (Lt) and cut off the space portion if the shorter length than the standard 1,240mm is required. TRUNK PIPE LENGTH (Lt)+ 60mm 2.
INSTALLATION 3. MOUNTING JOINT PIPE INTO SOUNDOME When assembling the Joint Pipe into the Soundome, the Soundome must be fixed, and screw the Joint Pipe into the Soundome. Be sure not to damage the Joint Pipe thread or twist the Soundome cable. ①...
INSTALLATION 4. ATTACHING SOUNDOME TO HOIST Apply grease to the Flange bearing (figure ① ) where the Joint Pipe is passed through. Pass the Damper (figure ② ) through and mount it into the Joint Arm(figure ③ ) facing the bow mark toward ship’s bow.
INSTALLATION 5. HOIST/LOWER UNIT AND TRUNK PIPE ATTACHMENT Use 4 Hexagonal Bolts (M20x80) to fit the Hoist/Lower Unit to the Trunk Pipe. Make tentative clamp and try to move the Soundome up and down for several times to confirm the alignment when making the final clamping evenly. The Hoist can be operated manually.
INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENT OF HOIST STROKE The stroke can be adjusted from 120mm at the minimum to the 200mm at the maximum by changing the position of the Limit Switches. Turn off the power for the motor before adjusting the Limit Switches.
INSTALLATION MANUAL RAISE/LOWER OF SOUNDOME The Soundome can be raised or lowered manually when mounting the Hoist and the Trunk Pipe or adjusting the stroke. The manual operation is also available in case of a trouble that the Soundome can not be raised or lowered automatically.
INSTALLATION MOUNTING METHOD OF DISPLAY UNIT ① Fasten the Bracket to the place you selected with 4 tapping screws. ② Screw the Knob Bolts to the hole on both sides of the Display Unit. ③ Insert the Display Unit into the Bracket. ④...
INSTALLATION CONNECTIONS Prior to the connections between the Display Unit and the Hull Unit, read the following warning carefully to ensure its correct operation. WARNING Operating voltage: 20 to 30 volts DC Use the correct voltage, otherwise it will result in fire or electrical shock. Use the specified power supply cables.
