CHAPTER 3: P
This chapter provides instructions for unpacking the Series 5000 V2 Sonar
System, connecting its components and a navigation system, and testing the
system both on deck and at sea. Descriptions of all the connections and the
controls and indicators for all the system components are also included.
3.1

Unpacking and Inspection

The towfish and the topside system components, including associated cables and
documentation, are shipped in multiple shipping cases. Unpack all of the cases and
verify that all of the items listed on the packing list have been received. If any
items are damaged or missing, immediately contact Klein Marine Systems, Inc. or
your KMS sales representative. In addition, record the serial numbers for the
towfish, the TPU and the SonarPro Workstation. The towfish serial number can be
found on the towfish tow bracket. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 for the location
of the tow bracket. The serial numbers for the TPU and the SonarPro Workstation
or laptop can be found on the rear panel of each.
3.2

Locating the Topside System Components

The TPU and the SonarPro Workstation should be located in an area that is
protected from weather and spray and where the temperatures are consistently
between 0°C and 35°C (32°F and 95°F). The location should also be near the
towfish launch point or be adequately equipped with devices for communicating
with launch personnel. If separately mounting components in a 19-inch rack,
ensure that the rack is properly secured and that there is ample room behind it for
connecting the cables. A thick layer of foam should also be placed under the rack
for shock isolation, and the back of the rack should be left open for proper air flow.
Support the units inside the rack using appropriate mounting brackets, shelves or
slides as needed and secure the front panels to the front of the rack where possible
using standard 19-inch rack front panel mounting hardware.
3.3

Power Requirements

The TPU and the SonarPro Workstation require 100–125 or 200–250 VAC,
50–60 Hz power to operate. The Series 5000 V2 Sonar System is designed to
protect against over and under voltage and transient spikes. However, it is always
best to check the power source carefully using a voltmeter or oscilloscope before
operating the equipment.
