  • Page 5: Introduction

    To make learning about the features of MB1 easy to follow, this document is structured as a step-by-step manual. The first manual (this manual) covers the MB1 as a product, it provides instructions on how to install the hardware, how cables are wired to their connectors and some simple troubleshooting tips.
  • Page 6: Product Description

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION System Overview The MB1 consists of a multibeam sonar unit with an interface unit, called the Real Time Appliance (RTA). In order to be effectively used for hydrographic surveying, the user will require additional components for positioning, motion sensing, collection of data, determining sound velocity in the water as well as a computer to run the operating software.

    CABLEPOWDC) by Odom when required. Possible Configurations of the MB1 The MB1 can be used as a standalone sonar as part of a pre existing suite of other sensors (Motion, Heading, Position etc.) or has configurable options. The options that may be added to the system are an internal GPS & Heading board (Hemisphere H320 model), TSS DMS525 motion sensor and the Digibar V real time sound velocity probe.

External motion sensor will be required in this case.
  • Page 9: Components

    User Manual COMPONENTS Sounder The sounder consists of a Titanium lower portion, housing the acoustic transmit and receive arrays. The upper portion houses the internal electronics and is manufactured from Acetal, a tough and corrosion resistant plastic. The two connectors shown above are used for a connection to a real time sound velocity probe, the Odom Digibar V, and the other is a power/data interface for the unit.

    Always ship the unit using the supplied shipping container. Real Time Appliance (RTA) The RTA is the center of the MB1 system. It serves as the connection box for all the sensors as well as providing better than 1 ms timing on all sensors including the sonar.

    User Manual When setting up the MB1, the RTA should be placed on a non-insulating surface wherever possible to encourage heat to dissipate from the base plate. This is especially important in hot environments or where the unit is exposed to sunlight. Failure to sufficiently dissipate the heat may result in a safety hazard to personnel.

  • Page 13 User Manual with the timing of the RTA when the BNC is used for the PPS signal. This will be seen as a timing error within the Image control software, along with the PPS LED blinking at rates other than once per second. If this occurs, pin 9 of the GPS I/O RS232 can be disabled in one of two ways: A null modem with pin 9 disabled can be used to interface between the GPS and the GPS I/O on the RTA.
  • Page 14 User Manual (iii) Mounted to the rear panel is the interface board to the serial connectors. This has 4 small jumper connections, two of which will determine whether pin 9 and pin 8 can be used to accept the PPS signal. There are also two disconnected jumpers at the top of the board - do not change these.
  • Page 15 User Manual 3.2.2.3 GPS I/O This RS232 connector is used to interface the positioning device into the RTA. The 3 messages to be used are NMEA ZDA, GGA and VTG at rates of 1-5 Hz. The formats of the standard NMEA sentences are as follows: $GPGGA,hhmmss.ss,llll.ll,a,yyyyy.yy,a,x,xx,x.x,x.x,M,x.x,M,x.x,xxxx*hh Header Time in UTC (hours, minutes, seconds and decimal seconds)

The accepted message is NMEA HDT at 5 $GPHDT,x.x,T,*hh Header Heading degrees, True Fixed 'T' means true heading Checksum 3.2.2.5 Spare I/O This port has been included for input from other devices, such as Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs).

  • Page 21: Installation

    User Manual INSTALLATION Mounting the Sonar There are three main methods of mounting the sonar: Using M6X1.0 threaded holes in the top of the sonar housing Using M6X1.0 threaded holes on the sides of the base of the sonar housing Using an optional universal mounting plate Most commonly the unit is mounted over the side of the vessel, using a suitable pole and flange arrangement.
  • Page 22: Mounting The Sonar Using Universal Mounting Plate (Optional)

    Acceptable models can be identified by either black standoffs or an MB1 logo on the reflector. When purchased with the MB1, the Teledyne Odom Digibar V comes with mounting hardware to attach the unit to the side of the MB1 sonar head.
  • Page 23: Connecting The Sensors

    Assembling the Optional Fairing An optional semi rigid fairing is available for the MB1 multibeam system. The fairing performs two finctions. Primarily it is designed to reduce drag on the sonar when it is moving through the water.
  • Page 24: Gather Required Tools And Parts

    Attach Rear Section With the MB1 placed on it's end, slide the rear section onto the back of the MB1, with the grooved part in line with the bottom of the sonar. Thread the 4 long Hex bolts with a split ring and regular washer each.
  • Page 25: Attach Rear Top Section

    User Manual Rear Section Placed on MB1 (left) and bolted (right) 4.6.4 Attach Rear Top Section Next take the rear top section and thread the Power/Data cable through the cut out hole in the top. Thread the Digibar V cable (if used) through the small cable cutout on the side of the rear section to one side.
  • Page 26: Attach Front Section

    The front section is best attached with the unit sitting flat (transdcuer face down) on a table with the front of the unit pointing towards you. Take the front section and position it over the front of the MB1. Take the two long Hex bolts, thread each with a split and regular washer, then insert them into the uppermost two holes of the section.
