Page 14: Important
Simrad SN90 Important The SN90 is an advanced product. As with most other advanced instruments, there are a few important things that you must know. When the SN90 is not used When you do not use the SN90, switch off the entire system.
Page 15: System Description
Support information, page 36 System description The Simrad SN90 is a directional high frequency fish finding sonar. Due to the high resolution and long range, the SN90 has proven to be a very efficient tool for both trawlers and purse seiners. Even though the sonar is basically designed for pelagic fishing, but it has also been put to use for navigational purposes.
Page 16 For purse seine applications, the SN90 transducer is mounted on the port or starboard side of the hull, facing the seine. Since the Simrad SN90 does not use a hull unit, you can have full control of the catch situation without retracting the transducer. The transducer’s protected position will prevent damage from the purse wire, and still give you full control while setting and retrieving the net.
Page 17 Specifications and functionality The Simrad SN90 is a unique sonar, both in design and functionality. The composite transducer and the transceiver each uses 256 individual channels for transmission and reception. A large frequency bandwidth is supported, as the SN90 allows you to choose a 0.1 to 40 kHz bandwidth with centre frequency from 70 to 120 kHz in steps of 1...

Page 23: Transceiver Unit Description
SN90 Transceiver Unit description The SN90 transceiver is provided to transmit the acoustic energy into the water. To do this, the transceiver computes and generates the electric signals sent to the transducer to form a transmission - a 'ping'. After each transmission, it will receive the echoes from the targets in the water column and/or the seabed.
Page 24: Operating Panel Description
Simrad SN90 Operating Panel description The Operating Panel contains all necessary control functions for normal operation of the SN90. The controls provided by the Operating Panel are arranged in logical functional groups. This offers you clear and easy operation with fast access to key functionality.
Page 25: Transducer Description
SN90 Transducer description The rectangular sonar transducer allows the sonar beam to provide the swath coverage of the water volume with electronic tilt. The transducer is rather small. The transducer face measures 184 x 184 mm, and the total weight (with cables) is approximately 60 kg.

Page 47: Selecting The Best Location For The Processor Unit
Preparations Selecting the best location for the Processor Unit The Processor Unit can be installed inside a console, inside a suitable cabinet, in a 19" rack or on a desk. Make sure that adequate ventilation is available to avoid overheating. The physical position of the Processor Unit must be chosen to fit the available cable lengths between the computer and the other units it connects to.
Page 48 Simrad SN90 Any suitable location can be used, provided that the cables are long enough, end that the ventilation is adequate. Compass safe distance The compass safe distance for the Operating Panel Power Supply has not been defined. If it is installed close to the Processor Unit, the compass safe distance required by the Processor Unit gives sufficient protection.
Page 49: Sonar Room Requirements
Preparations Sonar room requirements Observe minimum requirements to obtain suitable working conditions for SN90 installation, use and maintenance. The “sonar room” is the compartment in which the Transceiver Unit is installed. Topics Environment, page 47 Watertight integrity, page 47 Size and access, page 48 Insulation, heating and ventilation, page 48 Electrical installations, cables and communication, page 49 Bilge pump and decking, page 50...
Page 50: Size And Access
Simrad SN90 Size and access A well designed sonar room with a well fitted size and easy access reduces the risk of corrosion, and simplifies maintenance. This increases system reliability. Note The physical size of the sonar room must be limited, so that in the event of a major leak, the flooding of the room will not induce instability, or cause the vessel to capsize or sink.
Page 51: Electrical Installations, Cables And Communication
Preparations Ventilation The sonar room must be connected to the vessel's ventilation system. If this is not possible, two 3” vents must be provided from the sonar room to the main deck. In the room, the air inlet must whenever possible be located close to the deck and the outlet as high as possible.
Page 52: Bilge Pump And Decking
Simrad SN90 Bilge pump and decking If the sonar room is located below the water line, it must be connected to the vessel's bilge pump system. If this is not possible, a separate bilge pump for the sonar room must be installed.
Page 53: Where To Install The Transducer
Preparations Where to install the transducer Topics Introduction, page 51 Mount the transducer deep, page 51 Avoid protruding objects, page 52 Stay far away from the propellers, page 52 Choose a position far away from the bow thruster(s), page 52 Summary and general recommendations, page 53 Introduction A single answer to the question “where to install the transducer”...
Page 54: Avoid Protruding Objects
Simrad SN90 The transducer must never be lifted free of the water surface. Transmitting into open air may damage the it beyond repair. Mounting the transducer at a deep position on the hull will in most cases prevent this. If the transducer is lifted up from the water during heavy seas, it may be damaged when the hull strikes back at the sea surface.
Page 55: Summary And General Recommendations
Preparations And when not in operation, the tunnel creates turbulence. If your vessel is pitching, the tunnel may be filled with air or aerated water in the upper position and release this in the lower position. In general, all transducers should therefore be placed well away from the bow thruster(s). In most cases, a location forward of the bow thruster is advantageous.
Page 56: Acoustic Noise
Simrad SN90 Acoustic noise As with any other hydroacoustic systems, the quality of the SN90 presentations are subject to unwanted acoustic noise. The echoes from any large and small target must be detected inside the noise. It is important that we keep this noise level as low as possible in order to obtain long range and dependable interpretations of the echoes.
Page 57 Preparations signal than noise. While SNR is commonly quoted for electrical signals, it can be applied to any form of signal [...]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_to_noise_ratio (September 2013) For active sonar and echo sounder systems, the signal is the echo that we want to know something about, while the noise is any unwanted signals or disturbances.
Page 58: Self Noise
Simrad SN90 Self noise Any vessel equipped with a hydroacoustic system will produce more or less self noise. There are many sources of such self noise. • : Main engine, auxiliary engines, gears, pumps, blowers, refrigerator Machinery noise systems, etc.
Page 59 Preparations Cavitation Cavitation usually occurs more willingly in air filled water and the occurrence is dependent on the hydrostatic pressure. Cavitation is a severe source of noise. The noise is made when the voids implode. Cavitation noise often occurs at the propeller and near extruding objects at higher speeds.
Page 60: Ambient Noise
Simrad SN90 to destroy the integrity of the water. Small voids or cavities in the water will occur and this is called cavitation. Rattle noises Rattle noise may be caused by loose objects in the vicinity of the transducer, like fixing bolts.
Page 61: Reverberation
Preparations Reverberation The energy reflected from other objects than the one we wish to observe is called reverberation. Reverberation is generated when the echoes from your sonar transmission are reflected not only by fish and valid targets in the water, but also from the seabed and from the sea surface.
Page 62 Simrad SN90 An important factor is the physical location of the transducer. This depends on the vessel's design and construction, how the hull is shaped, and how the water runs along the hull. Other factors deal with other equipment mounted on board, and this will also be vessel dependant.
Page 63: Vessel Coordinate System
Preparations • Ensure that the propellers blades are correctly designed and without damages. • The use of a baffle between the propellers and the transducer may reduce noise appreciably. • Static discharges caused by the rotating propeller shaft may be removed by proper grounding or by mounting a coal brush from the shaft to ground.
Page 64 Simrad SN90 Example If you wish to measure the actual water depth, you will need to know the vertical distance from the echo sounder transducer to the water line. Since the vessel’s displacement changes with the amount of cargo, fuel etc, the physical location of the water line on the hull must either be measured at a regular basis, or measured with a second sensor.
Page 65 Preparations One example is the Navigation Reference Point that is frequently used. Whenever a vessel is surveyed to establish accurate offset information, the surveyor may also establish an alternative origin location. Whenever relevant, any such alternative locations must be defined using offset values to the "official"...

Page 67: Installation Summary
Installing the transducer Installation summary The installation of the transducer is a key task for successful installation of the SN90 Purse Seine and Trawl Sonar. Not only will you need to penetrate the vessel’s hull, you must also to select a physical location for maximum performance and minimum acoustic and electric noise.

If the transducer shall be mounted in the bow for trawl and/or navigational use, the bow must be designed and altered accordingly to accept the mounting house. Design, manufacture and mount the steel conduit and/or the sealing plate.
Page 69: Transducer Installation Principles
Installing the transducer Transducer installation principles The physical installation of the SN90 transducer is basically made in the same way as for normal echo sounder transducers. However, depending on your intended use of the SN90, the transducer is installed with a specific angle and direction. The SN90 transducer is designed to be mounted inside a keel box or streamlined blister under the vessel’s hull.
Page 70 Simrad SN90 (CD010205_090_001) This illustration shows the vessel from the bow looking aft. Observe the Z and Y axis. Installation angle around the Y-axis Steel conduit terminated above the water line (relevant for "dry" and "wet" conduit installations) Physical installation angles For purse seiners, the transducer must be pointed slightly downwards, and towards the fishing gear.

Page 72: Installing The Transducer For Use On Trawlers
Simrad SN90 Installing the transducer for use on trawlers On trawlers, the physical installation of the SN90 transducer is made by designing a blister or keel box. You can also install the transducer in the bow of the vessel. On trawlers, the transducer must be installed facing forward. A blister or keel box must be designed by the installation shipyard to fit the vessel’s hull.
Page 73 Installing the transducer (CD010205_090_003) This illustration shows the vessel from the side. Observe the Z and X axis. Installation angle around the Y-axis Steel conduit terminated above the water line (relevant for "dry" and "wet" conduit installations) As an option, the transducer can be installed on the vessel’s bow. This installation method must be carefully designed to minimize the effect the transducer will have on the hull behaviour and noise conditions.

Page 75: Installing The Transducer For Navigational Use
Installing the transducer Note If you only use a sealing plate to bring the transducer cables through the hull, the compartment directly over the sealing plate must be watertight. Make sure that your arrangement is approved by the relevant national registry and corresponding maritime authority and/or classification society.

Page 77 Installing the transducer Note This installation method will place the transducer at risk - especially on small vessels - with regards to ice and objects floating in the water. Heavy seas may also lift the bow up and above water, which will cause the SN90 to transmit into open air. Physical installation angles For use as a navigation instrument, the transducer must be tilted slightly downwards.

Page 79 Installing the transducer In order to establish a system to measure the relative distance between sensors, a virtual coordinate system is established. This coordinate system uses three vectors; X, Y and Z. In the SN90 system, the same vessel coordinate system is used to define the transducer installation angles.
Page 80 Simrad SN90 Note In order to establish the correct installation angles, you must do a virtual exercise. It is very important that you define the three values in the correct order: first X, then Y and finally Z. Place the transducer in its virtual start position with the face straight down, and with the 0–mark pointing forward.
Page 81 Installing the transducer This installation angle is defined using the value. Rotation around Y Keep in mind the default "start location" of the transducer; all rotation angles set to 0 (zero) means that the transducer face is horizontal pointing straight down with the orientation mark (arrow) pointing forward.
Page 82 Simrad SN90 Start with the transducer in its default position: the transducer face is horizontal facing down, and the indicator arrow is pointing straight forward. If the transducer is properly installed without unintentional skew, the Rotation can be set to 0 (Zero).
Page 83: Watertight Integrity
Installing the transducer Watertight integrity The installation of the SN90 transducer will require a hole in the hull for the transducer cables. This will put the watertight integrity of the vessel at risk. The size, location and design of the compartment immediately over the mounting location must fulfil all requirements to the vessel’s watertight integrity.

Page 85: Installing The Transducer Cables In "Wet" Conduit
Installing the transducer The installation shipyard must provide all necessary installation drawings. If required, all documents provided by the shipyard for the physical installation of the SN90 must be approved by the vessel’s national registry and corresponding maritime authority and/or classification society. Such approval must be obtained before the installation can begin.
Page 86 Simrad SN90 Note Observe relevant requirements and guidelines from the classification society, and make sure that the conduit is properly supported, strong and watertight. Finalize the steel conduit installation before you pull the transducer cable through it. Make sure that there are no spatter, sharp edges or protruding objects that can damage the transducer cables.
Page 87: Installing The Transducer Cables In A "Dry" Conduit
Installing the transducer Installing the transducer cables in a "dry" conduit A sealing plate is welded to the hull plating, or to a small trunk. This sealing plate (and trunk) must maintain the watertight integrity of the hull. A steel conduit is welded to the top of the sealing plate, and terminated above the freeboard deck.
