Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual Details CPU Test This test presents the CPU type, the CPU clock frequency, the current and maximum temperatures for the CPU die and for the CPU board. In addition some key voltages are reported, and finally the network addresses for the board’s interfaces.
Page 21
Troubleshooting RX noise level This test measures the average isotropic spectral noise level for each receiver channel (in dB rel 1 μPa/Hz) for different frequency bands. The receiver directivity index, the transducer sensitivity and the filter bandwidth is used to convert to isotropic spectral noise level.
Troubleshooting BIST Introduction The purpose of the offline BIST system is to detect errors and locate the failed module. The BIST tests are organized in a sequence, and tests module by module. The CPU executes the BISTs and sends the BIST reply to the operator station. Temperature, voltage, communication and firmware versions of each board and module are tested.

Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual CBMF-CPU link Checks the parallel bus interface between the CBMF board and the CPU board. This test checks CBMF board(s), Ethernet connection and the parallel bus interface between the CBMF board(s) and the CPU circuit board. A large set of known data is transferred from the CPU unit on Ethernet via CBMF back to the CPU board.
Troubleshooting RX-CBMF link This test checks the GBit interface between the RX unit and the CBMF boards. A large set of known data is transferred from RX unit via CBMF to the CPU board on parallel bus. The data received is checked by the CPU board. Dark green modules are to be tested.
Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual RX channels Checks the RX channels including transducers by injecting a test signal at receiver input. • EM 712 The Receiver Unit has a programmable signal generator board that is used to inject a test signal at the preamplifier inputs in the RX arrays. The BIST report displays the measured RX transducer impedance for all RX channels.
Troubleshooting TX channels Checks all TX channels including the transducers. This test checks the impedance of all TX elements. This is done by measuring the voltage and current used by all individual transmitters. Dark green modules are to be tested. Light green modules have to function to be able to perform current test.
Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual RX noise level Checks the isotropic spectral noise level. This test measures the average isotropic spectral noise level for each receiver channel (in dB rel 1 μPa/Hz) for different frequency bands. The receiver directivity index, the transducer sensitivity and the filter bandwidth is used to convert to isotropic spectral noise level.
Troubleshooting RX noise spectrum Checks the isotropic spectral noise level. This test measures the isotropic spectral noise level for each receiver channel as done in the RX noise level test. The noise spectrum level is displayed for small frequency bands for groups of 32 channels.
Generates a status report for the EM 712 system. This test acquires information needed (serial numbers, software versions, BIST results etc.) for a status report. This report can be sent to the factory to update the EM 712 product database.
Context During normal use, the transducer is subjected to biological fouling. If this marine growth is excessive, it will reduce the performance of the EM 712. Whenever opportunity arise, typically when the vessel is dry-docked, the transducer face must be cleaned for shells and other marine growth.
Page 37
Apply anti-fouling paint as described in the dedicated procedure. Note Because some paint types may be aggressive to the polyurethane in the transducer, consult our list of approved paints. The list can also be found on Kongsberg Maritime (https://www.kongs- berg.com/maritime/). 451106/B...
Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual Painting the transducer face Marine growth (biological fouling) on the transducer face reduces the EM 712 performance. We recommend that you paint the transducer face immediately after installation, and then again as often as required to maintain the protection.
Page 39

Repeat the procedure until the tolerances are met Calibration During the sea trials, calibration surveys are required as described in the EM 712 end user documentation. In order to check and verify the performance of the EM 712 system, we strongly recommend that calibration surveys are done at regular intervals, or prior to any large survey.
Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual Note Calibration must be taken seriously. The final verification of correct installation can only be done during calibration at sea. Installation and operational parameters that do not meet the accuracy requirements may lead to incorrect data. To achieve the best results, the calibration must be planned and done carefully.
Page 207
Dimensional surveying and alignment In order to establish a system to measure the relative distance between sensors, a virtual coordinate system is established. This coordinate system uses three vectors; X, Y and Z. The X-axis is the longitudinal direction of the vessel, and in parallel with the deck.
Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual Equipment handling Observe these basic rules for transportation, storage and handling of units. In this context, a unit may be any large or small part of the system. It can be supplied as part of the initial delivery, or as a spare part. The phrase box is used to describe all kinds of cases, wooden or cardboard boxes etc used to hold the unit.
In the absence of other information, no other boxes must be stacked on top of it. Handle all boxes and units with care. Note Due to the nature of Kongsberg Maritime’s products, and the extensive use of delicate electronic parts, all units and boxes must be regarded and handled as fragile equipment.
Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual Lifting units and transportation boxes Some of the boxes used to hold equipment units may be heavy. Use caution when lifting. Prerequisites Units and boxes may be heavy. Make sure that you have the necessary equipment required for lifting heavy items.

Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual Place the box on a stable work bench or on the floor with the top of the box facing upwards. In the absence of other instructions, always open the top of the carton first. The contents of the box will normally have been lowered into the carton from above, so this will usually be the easiest route to follow.
Describe the damage, and collect photographic evidence if possible. Return the inspection report to Kongsberg Maritime as soon as possible. Assuming all is well, open the bag and remove the unit. Take out and keep the documentation.
Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual Unpacking transducers Prior to installation or use, transducers, sonar heads and hydrophones must be unpacked from their transport boxes.
