Page 19: Section 3: Installation
NOTE: On the early 8011M systems, the transducer connector is a Spirit, which is the same as used on earlier EG&G, EdgeTech, and ORE Offshore deck units. Transducers from these systems can be used with the 8011M. However, if the shorter (32 meter cable) transducer is used, the output power will be slightly reduced. - Page 20 6. The 8011M has an internal rechargeable battery. To fully charge the internal battery, the system must be plugged in and turned on for 5 hours. The 8011M will run on the internal battery for 4 to 6 hours depending on use.

The interrogate frequency is the frequency transmitted from the 8011M deck unit and the reply frequency is the frequency received by the 8011M deck unit. The correct frequencies can be found on the configuration sheet supplied with the underwater unit. Note: If you are testing an underwater unit in air use item 5 to change the minimum range gate to “0”.) - Page 23 8 seconds. 7. The default speed of sound in water used by the 8011M is 1500 meters per second. This can be changed by using the range set up menu. To enter a speed of sound first press <MENU> select item 2 (range set up) then item 6 (more options).

7 to 8 pulse or 14 to 15 pulses long. Pressing <ENT> will exit the listening mode. EdgeTech acoustic equipment uses a 16 bit FKS code. The actual code that the operator enters is a six- digit code. The first digit encodes the two frequencies used for transmission and must be between 1 and 6 inclusive. -

4.2.5 Serial Port Operations The model 8011M acoustic deck unit has an RS232 port available to the user. The port can be used to log activity or to remotely control the deck unit. The 8011M serial port is always in logging mode when it is not under remote control (host mode). - Page 28 HOST MODE: press any key to exit While in host mode the 8011M will echo all characters sent in the com port. If using a terminal emulation program be sure to configure it not to locally echo characters. Host mode commands must exactly match the prescribed format, otherwise they will be rejected.
- Page 29 After the first reply is detected the 8011M will send a question mark and then send either a period or question mark every 250mS. A question mark indicates a valid reply was detected during that 250mS time period, a period indicates nothing was detected. The listening mode is terminated by sending a carriage return / line feed.
- Page 30 - An asterisk response from the 8011M (*) indicates command accepted. - A pound sign response from the 8011M (#) indicates serial command error. - Serial port is always in logging mode when not in Host mode.
