  • Page 45: Power Requirements

    Power Requirements Power Requirements The Series 3000 requires AC power to operate. The power source requirements are 115 VAC, 50–60 Hz, single phase or 230 VAC, 50–60 Hz. The system is designed to protect against over and under voltage and transient spikes. However, it is always best to check the power source carefully before operating the equipment.

  • Page 46: Towfish Fuse

    CHAPTER 3 Setup and Test 3.3.2 Towfish Fuse The towfish is protected by a 6.3-A, 5 x 20-mm slow blow fuse rated for 250 volts (P/N 13000163). It is located on the back panel of the TPU and is below the TOWFISH connector.

  • Page 47: Towfish Setup

    Towfish Setup Towfish Setup 3.5.1 General Rigging Notes and Cautions Grease the waterproof connectors when attaching the connectors at the towfish. Avoid putting excessive grease on the male pins. The silicone grease serves an important lubricating and corrosion protection function. Use a high quality, nonconducting grease such as Dow Corning DC-4.

  • Page 48: Tow Cable Electrical Connection

    CHAPTER 3 Setup and Test 3.5.2 Tow Cable Electrical Connection It is essential to exercise care when making and breaking the tow cable connections at both the TPU and the towfish ends. The electrical connection procedures are provided below. WARNING In all of the procedures which follow, be sure that the power is turned off.

  • Page 49: Towfish And Optional Depressor Connection

    Towfish Setup The tow cable jumper is secured with cable ties to the top of the towfish. The towfish mechanical and electrical connection procedure is as follows: Remove the retaining ring from the beveled end of the tow pin and withdraw the pin from the tow bracket.

  • Page 50: Tow Cable Disconnection

    If the tow cable is disconnected, however, it is very important that all connectors be properly maintained. Connectors must be kept clean and must remain out of the way of traffic while on deck. Klein Marine Systems, Inc. supplies dummy connectors which can be used to protect the underwater connectors on the towfish and cable when they are not mated to each other.

  • Page 51: System Activation And Test

    System Activation and Test WARNING Power to the sonar system must be turned off prior to connection or disconnection of the tow cable to either the towfish or the TPU, as serious damage may occur to the sonar system electronics or injury may occur to the operator as a result of this action.
