Optionally, the ISD4000 can also measure Heading, Pitch & Roll. Suitable for a large range of underwater applications, the ISD4000 can be used with ROVs, AUVs, Hydro-graphic Survey, Construction, Positioning and any other task where accurate depth and temperature is required underwater.
Innovative Underwater Products 3.0 Overview The ISD4000 is a pressure measurement device – making use of increasing pressure in water to determine depth. It is important to note that the device is designed to provide depth & temperature measurements in water, and will not provide accurate readings when operated in air.
4.1.2 Magnetic Disturbers (For Heading Accuracy) Where the heading output is to be used, the ISD4000 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.
4.1.4 Heat Sources (For Temperature Accuracy) In order for the ISD4000 to read the ambient temperature of the water, it should not be installed in close proximity of any heat sources (such as Hydraulic Power Packs).
ISD4000 housing. This can be achieved by using rubber or plastic strips around the body of the ISD4000. The ISD4000 has two flats, on either side of the body – these are to enable the unit to sit tightly against another flat surface if available. These flats also help prevent the unit moving when on the workbench for testing.
Innovative Underwater Products 4.3 Electrical The ISD4000 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 ISD4000 Unit...
Innovative Underwater Products 4.3.2 Power The ISD4000 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.
4.3.6 Establishing Communications The default serial settings are RS232, 9600, N81 If the ISD4000 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.
The software uses an advance framed binary protocol to communicate to the ISD4000 and can do so over RS232 or RS485 at any standard baud rates above 4800. The parity must be none, stop bits 1 and data bits 8. If the ISD4000 communication settings differ from this then perform the comms reset as described in the establishing comms section of this manual.
Autonomous mode will make a measurement and output the results at a specified time interval. The ISD4000 can be configure to operate in one or both of these modes at the same time. ISD4000's with the AHRS option make use of the same Interrogated and autonomous mechanises to output heading pitch and roll data over the serial interface.
Ensure that the ISD4000 has been physically installed in a location as free from magnetic interference as possible (away from valve packs, thrusters etc). Step 2: Check that the ISD4000 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.

Step 12: Power Cycle the ISD4000 unit. The ISD4000 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.
