  • Page 29: Hull Unit Description

    Simrad ST90 Hull unit description The hull unit provided with the ST90 is designed to lower the transducer down below the ship’s hull when the ST90 shall be used. When the ST90 is switched off, the transducer is hoisted for protection.
  • Page 30 Simrad ST90 Installation Manual Note If you forget to hoist the transducer before the ST90 is switched off, the transducer is hoisted automatically before the power is disconnected. The transducer is also hoisted automatically if a serious malfunction occurs to the communication between the bridge and the hull unit.

  • Page 31: Transducer Description

    ST90 is turned off. By lowering the transducer into the water, you may also be able to reduce the noise created by the laminar flow of water along the hull.

  • Page 32: Installation Trunk Description

    The installation trunk provides the physical foundation for the entire hull unit. The installation trunk penetrates the hull. It is therefore a crucial part of the hull unit assembly. In order to ensure proper ST90 operation, the physical location of the installation trunk must be carefully selected.

  • Page 38 207485 Blind flange dimensions (ø760 mm), page 438 Display The display is not a standard part of the ST90 delivery. This is a commercial item that can be purchased locally. Any commercial display can be used with the ST90 Fish finding sonar, provided that the display meets the minimum requirements.
  • Page 39 In order to operate correctly, the ST90 requires input from a speed log. A speed log is normally not a part of the ST90 delivery. When a speed log is connected to the ST90, the vessel’s current speed can be presented in the user interface.
  • Page 40 In order to operate correctly, the ST90 requires input from a course gyro. A course gyro is not a part of the ST90 delivery. When a course gyro is connected to the ST90, the vessel’s current heading can be presented in the user interface.

  • Page 41: Additional Optional Items

    Additional items are available for the ST90. Some are optional for ST90 operation. These items may for example simplify the installation, or increase the functionality. You can order them with the other basic ST90 items. You can also purchase these items from your dealer, agent or local supplier.
  • Page 42 Simrad ST90 Installation Manual If you also want to control the ST90 from this secondary display location, you can add an extra Operating Panel. If the distance between the Processor Unit and your second display is considerable, we suggest that you use KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) technology to preserve the video quality.
  • Page 43 Motor Control Unit. For improved operational accuracy, an external motion reference unit (MRU) may be used. Note Without the input from a motion reference sensor, the ST90 will not be able to compensate for the vessel movements. This lack of compensation will prevent the ST90 from providing correct echo information.
  • Page 44 A gate valve can then be added to the hull unit installation. By means of a mechanical construction it shuts off the bottom of the installation trunk when the ST90 is not used. The gate valve is manufactured by LK Valves.
  • Page 45 • The ST90 allows you to define a middle position for the transducer. When you define the middle position, you must take the total height of the gate valve and the mounting flange into consideration.
  • Page 46 Scope of supply, page 32 Audio system The audio output provided by the ST90 adds sound to the user experience. Many experienced users find the audio information very useful. They claim that the audio information increases the efficiency of the ST90. A trained ear easily detects echoes by the way they sound.
  • Page 47 Stereo system If a stereo system is already installed on the bridge, the audio output from the ST90 can be connected to an auxiliary input. The advantage of this setup is that most stereo systems are provided with a remote control, and this allows for easy adjustment of the audio level.

  • Page 48: General Safety Rules

    Safety is important. The safety precautions must be followed at all times during installation and maintenance work. WARNING The ST90 operates on 115 VAC and/or 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz. This voltage is lethal! You must never work alone on high-voltage equipment! The hull unit is powered by a 3-phase high voltage.

  • Page 49: Installation Requirements

    Supply power requirements Observe the general requirements related to the supply power. The supply voltage to the ST90 must be kept within ±10% of the installation’s nominal voltage. Maximum transient voltage variations on the main switchboard’s bus-bars are not to exceed -15% to +20% of the nominal voltage (except under fault conditions).

  • Page 50: Cables And Wiring Requirements

    Installation requirements, page 47 Compass deviation requirements ST90 units that are installed on the bridge may have an effect on the compass. Once the installation is complete, the vessel must be swung with the ST90 in both operative and inoperative modes.

  • Page 51: Noise Sources

    Label the Processor Unit and/or the circuit breaker clearly to prevent anyone from powering up the ST90 accidentally. Note The location of the ST90 installation trunk must be noted on the vessel’s docking plan for future reference. Related topics Installation requirements, page 47 Requirement for classification approval Classification approval is required for the ST90 installation.

  • Page 52: Network Security

    Securing the ST90 system itself has no meaning unless there is a policy in place that secures all computers in the network. This policy must include physical access by trained and trusted users.

    Some means to reduce acoustic noise, page 82 Introduction to the acoustic noise challenge As with any other hydroacoustic systems, the quality of the ST90 echo data and presentations are subject to unwanted acoustic noise. The echoes from any large and small target must be detected inside the noise.
  • Page 79 Preparations The majority of these factors can neither be controlled nor improved by means of installation methods or transducer locations. The quality and properties of the transmitting and receiving systems are key factors during our product development, while our end user documentation aims to help the user to make the right filter settings during operation.

  • Page 80: Self Noise

    Simrad ST90 Installation Manual • Acoustic noise from other hydroacoustic systems The transducer cable is long, and may pick up electric noise from generators, pumps, cooling systems and other electric or electromechanical devices. The preamplifiers are very sensitive, and they can easily pick up electrical noise from internal and external power supplies.
  • Page 81 Preparations Propeller cavitation is a severe source of noise. "Singing" propellers might be a source of noise, which interferes at discrete frequencies. In some cases static discharge from the rotating propeller shaft may be quite disturbing. Cavitation Cavitation is the formation of small air bubbles close to the transducer face.

  • Page 82: Ambient Noise

    Simrad ST90 Installation Manual Air bubbles absorb and reflect the sound energy, and they may in worst cases block the sound transmission altogether. The boundary layer increases in thickness when it becomes turbulent. The boundary layer is thin in the forward part of the vessel hull, and increases as it moves aft. The thickness depends on ships speed and on the roughness of the hull.

  • Page 83: Electrical Self Noise

    The energy reflected from these "unwanted" objects is referred to as reverberation. Reverberation is generated when the echoes from your ST90 transmissions are reflected not only by fish and valid targets in the water, but also from the sea bottom and the sea surface.
