Disregarding information provided in a Warning box may prove harmful to personnel working with or near the system. Chapter Arrangement All RESON manuals are designed with the same basic structure. The following chapters are included in this document: Introduction provides a short summary of the SeaBat 7125 ROV sonar system, including an overview of the architecture and the main features.
) wide swath perpendicular to the vessel's track. The SeaBat 7125 ROV is designed for installation on a remotely operated vehicle for deep-water use and operates as a single-frequency system at 400kHz. The addition of a second projector operating at 200kHz allows the system to operate as a dual-frequency system providing long-range functionality with the 200kHz unit and high-resolution functionality with the 400kHz unit.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. RESON assumes no liability if this product is operated in an unsafe manner. 2.1 Operator Safety The SeaBat™ system should be handled with attention to operator safety as well as protection of the hardware components.
Do not apply any antifouling paint on the acoustic window unless the type is recommended by RESON. The antifouling paint will affect the acoustic performance. To scrape away marine growth from the arrays, use only a wooden tool.

SYSTEM STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN 3.5 Installing a License Your SeaBat 7125 ROV comes with a license file installed that match the feature package you purchased (see Table 22: SeaBat 7125 Feature Packages). If upgrading to another feature package, the corresponding new license file must be installed.
For information on the practical use of the sonar, see section 6 Active Sonar Usage. For information on installation and details on the various system components, see Appendix B Installation Instructions. SeaBat 7125 ROV Operator‟s Manual Page 15 May 30, 2011 Version 3...
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 4.2 Configuration Menu Options The various configuration options available for the SeaBat 7125 ROV sonar system are shown in the following illustration and are described in detail in the subsections below. 4.2.1 Data Display & Format The Data Display & Format dialog controls the type of 7k records that are generated and displayed.
This allows for phase data to be analyzed in the A-scan displays. As this option increases the CPU usage for the SeaBat, RESON recommends that this option only be used when inspecting phase data. o Operator Mode: The SeaBat extracts only the magnitude from the ping data.

If the local sound velocity is not known, RESON recommends a value of 1480 to 1500m/s for open sea areas and 1425m/s for fresh water. For instructions on how to adjust this setting, see section 5.7.3.3 Set the Sound Velocity.

Costs for this survey may be quoted as part of a contract or independently. The SeaBat 7125 ROV sonar system produces three types of data, bathymetry, side- scan, and snippets, suitable for the generation of high-resolution hydrographic charts that exceed international standards.
For available configurations, see Appendix E Available SeaBat 7125 Configurations. 7.1 Data Types 7.1.1 Bathymetry Data At 400kHz, the SeaBat 7125 ROV generates 256 (or 512 ) equiangular or equidistant soundings per ping. At 200kHz, the system generates 256 equiangular (or equidistant) bathymetry soundings per ping.
Side-scan is one of the many records available for subscription from the 7k Center software. Refer to the 7k Data Format Definition for further information regarding side- scan data output (see also Appendix C Reference Documentation). SeaBat 7125 ROV Operator‟s Manual Page 103 May 30, 2011...
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES 7.1.3 Snippets Data Snippets data is available from the SeaBat 7125 ROV. Each snippet consists of a windowed selection of amplitudes taken from the bottom detection point of each beam. A snippets data sample contains corrected backscatter data from the „footprint‟ on the seabed illuminated by a single sonar ping.

Installation of additional software on the processor is done at the customer‟s own risk. In the event that software is installed on the processor by a non-RESON authorized technician, RESON accepts no responsibility for any consequences that may arise in connection with the installation.
There are several cable connections to be made at the dry end of the installation. All dry- end cables provided by RESON come with factory-installed connectors and just need to be attached at the appropriate port(s) on the rear panel of the processor.

B.6.5 Wet-End Mounting Take care that the sonar head assembly is electrically isolated from the structure to avoid corrosion problems. RESON provides an optional mounting bracket, which is described in appendix D.4 7125 Mounting Bracket. The head should be immersed in water to a depth of at least 0.8m. This ensures that noise from surface waves and turbulence generated by the mounting structure does not degrade performance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS B.6.7 Sonar Reference Point Figure 62 illustrates the sonar reference point: The SeaBat 7125 ROV dual-frequency sonar head is shown for general definition of the sonar reference point concept X = across ship Y = along ship Z = vertical (up-down) Figure 62: Sonar Reference Point For exact data on reference points, see the individual unit installation drawings.
(optional) Figure 63: LCU Cable Connections CAUTION Do not open the Fill valve (for RESON use only). Noncompliance will affect warranty situation (see Appendix F Warranty Information). CAUTION Do not bend the cables beyond the recommended limit when positioning the cables.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS B.7 System Check Once the SeaBat 7125 ROV has been installed, follow these steps to ensure that the system is working properly. For information on the settings, see section 5.7 Sonar Control Tabs. 1. Ensure that all system cable connections are mated properly.

Figure 74: Typical ROV Installation RESON offers a converter which resides in a customer-provided pressure housing and converts the electrical output from the LCU to an optical signal. At the surface, a second converter is used to convert the optical signal back to electrical before routing into the processor.
The sound velocity probe (SVP) is used to continuously report this value to the sonar processor unit. The unit described below may be purchased from RESON as an option, or a SVP of similar specifications may be supplied by the customer.
D.8 System Integration and Training Onsite installation, integration with a bathymetric data acquisition system, calibration, and training of operating personnel are available from RESON. D.9 Yearly Inspection and Servicing Although the SeaBat should not require recalibration or general servicing during its lifetime, some industries may require factory verification of performance and an annual equipment service.
Bench test of complete system. Tank/water test of system and verification of source level. Prior to taking any action, RESON will provide the customer with an Estimate of Cost to Repair for any parts that require replacement. D.10 Yearly Upgrades for SeaBat Firmware This option provides all firmware upgrades that are released over the period of one year.
E.1.2 7125 ROV Configuration The SeaBat 7125 ROV configuration is for deep-water use on a remotely operated vehicle. The link control unit is housed within a titanium bottle providing the system with a depth rating of 6000 meters.
