    The ISM3D can be configured using the supplied seaView software. seaView allows all settings to be configured (output strings, communications protocol, baud rate etc). In addition to allowing the ISM3D to be configured, seaView also allows all outputs to be viewed in real time and logged.
  • Page 7: Installation

    Alignment with Vehicle (Pitch/Roll) – 4.1.1 Magnetic Disturbers (For Heading Accuracy) Where the heading output is to be used, the ISM3D should be mounted as far as possible from sources of magnetic interference. Electrical items which can cause magnetic interference include motors, transformers and valve packs.

    ISM3D housing. This can be achieved by using rubber or plastic strips around the body of the ISM3D. The ISM3D has two flats, on either side of the body – these are to enable the unit to sit tightly against another flat surface if available.

    Innovative Underwater Products 4.3 Electrical The ISM3D is fitted with a SubConn MCBH8M-SS connector as standard. This will mate to a SubConn MCIL8F connector/cable assembly. 4.3.1 Connector Pin Out The standard connector pin out is provided below: Male Connector on ISM3D Unit...
  • Page 11: Power

    Innovative Underwater Products 4.3.2 Power The ISM3D is polarity protected and fused with a 400mA resettable poly fuse. Internal circuitry isolates the supply from the outside environment requiring the serial interface to use the digital 0V reference pin. 4.3.3 Serial Interface The RS232 and RS485 interface is isolated from the supply and has in-line fused protection on the serial lines.

    The RS485 termination resistor is software selectable. The digital 0V must be connected on an RS485 interfaces, otherwise the voltage potential between one of the A+ or B- lines to ground could reach a damaging level © Impact Subsea Ltd...
  • Page 13: Establishing Communications

    4.3.6 Establishing Communications The default serial settings are RS232, 9600, N81 If the ISM3D is tilted from vertical to upside down 3 times within the first 10 seconds of power up then it will temporarily configure the serial interface to the default and output an ASCII message with the settings.

    ISM3D and can do so over RS232 or RS485 at any standard baud rate. The parity must be none, stop bits 1 and data bits 8. If the ISM3D communication settings differ from this then perform the comms reset as described in the 'Establishing Communications' section of this manual.
  • Page 15: Integration With Systems

    Autonomous mode will make a measurement and output the results at a specified time interval. The ISM3D can be configured to operate in one or both of these modes at the same time. 5.3 ISM3D Setup The ISM3D unit can be configured to output a variety of output strings, at various output rates, autonomously or by interrogation.
  • Page 16 The baud rate, word length, parity and stop bits can also be adjusted to suit interface requirements. 5.3.2 ISM3D Setup The second setup page allows configuration of the output string, which mode the ISM3D should work in along with various offsets: The settings on each line (1 to 4) shown above are detailed: ©...
  • Page 17 If the unit has been mounted Horizontally or Inverted, this can be set in the buttons of Line 4. Line 4 also allows the Inertial Mode of the ISM3D to be enabled or disabled. The default and recommended setting is to have the inertial mode enabled.
  • Page 18: Magnetic Calibration

    Ensure that the ISM3D has been physically installed in a location as free from magnetic interference as possible (away from value packs, thrusters etc). Step 2: Check that the ISM3D is mounted securely to the structure ensuring the unit is not able to move independently from the structure. Step 3: If conducting the magnetic calibration in a workshop, ideally hang the ROV from a crane away from magnetic sources.
  • Page 19 Innovative Underwater Products Step 4: Run the seaView software, select the ISM3D application and connect to the ISM3D unit: Step 5: Once connected to the ISM3D, go into the ISM3D settings (Gear Cog graphic) Step 6: Click on the 'Calibrate' button to open the calibration window:...

  • Page 21 Continue this process for five to ten minutes, until a good amount of data points are visible on screen. The ideal calibration will result in a complete 3D ball on screen – this may not be achievable with large ROVs, but effort should be made to get as close to this as possible: © Impact Subsea Ltd...
  • Page 22 Step 12: Power Cycle the ISM3D unit. The ISM3D will now point to magnetic north and provide good operation. If this is not the case, the magnetic calibration has not been completed to a sufficiently high standard and will require to be conducted again.

    = roll in degrees (180.0 to -180.0) 7.0 Servicing The ISM3D housing is available in Titanium or Delrin®. The unit is intended to be exceptionally low maintenance. To avoid the build up of salt, the unit should be rinsed in fresh water after each use.
  • Page 27: Warranty

    Innovative Underwater Products 8.0 Warranty The ISM3D is supplied with a Limited Warranty. This warranty applies only to the ISM3D unit, and only if the ISM3D is purchased from Impact Subsea Ltd. What does the limited warranty cover? This Limited Warranty covers any defects in material or workmanship under normal use during the Warranty Period.
