    Parts of the Manual • Section 1, About this Manual, introduces this manual. • Section 2, Introduction to EMES60, provides an overview of the system. • Section 3 and 4, Operation, describes the day-to-day operation of the system, including how to use the information and control screens.

  • Page 7: Introduction To Emes60

    2 Introduction to EMES60 Summary EMES60 is a combined electromagnetic speed log and echosounder navigation system. It is a single sensor with two transducers in one housing. Both parts have been designed to meet the relevant international standards and provide all the modern and legacy input-output interfaces that are specified by the IMO standards.

    3 Operation, generic HMI Touch-Screen Controls Reading the speed and depth information from the system, and configuring the system for use, is done through the touch-screen display units, called “human- machine interface” (HMI) units. Data is also sent to external equipment using a range of standard communication protocols and data formats.

    Administrator mode EMES60 has two input modes: “Normal User” and “Administrator”. Some operational parameters could prevent correct operation of EMES60 if they are set incorrectly. These parameters cannot be set in Normal User mode, and the operator must change to Administrator mode in order to get access to the setup screens.

    • Demo: the screens are driven by artificial speed log and echo sounder data, which is computed inside the EMES60 software. This mode is supposed to be used for presentations. • Simul: simulation mode; in this mode, the screens and outputs are also driven by data computed by the EMES60 software, but the operator can program the parameters of the data that is shown and output.

    4 Operation, Echo sounder The echosounder function measures the depth of water under the vessel. Echo sounder Home screen (screen 0) This screen is used to go to the desired operational screens, and for general controls. See section 3.7 for detailed description of all screen elements. See 3.7.4for use of the Control buttons.

    Echosounder main operational screen (screen 1) Screen layout This screen is the one that is shown in normal use of the echosounder. It displays the echogram (a scrolling color-coded view of water column and seabed echoes) and depth. Speed, heading and GPS position information is indicated in the top line of the display. Image scrolling speed (minutes: seconds per division), time and draft are indicated in the second line.
