Modem Embed. Target audience This manual is intended for all users of the cNODE Modem Embed. Online information All end-user manuals provided for operation and installation of your cNODE Modem Embed can be downloaded from our website.
Kongsberg cNODE Modem Embed System description cNODE Modem Embed is designed for the Point 2 Point transfer of data between two cNODE’s or to a surface vessel equipped with any HiPAP or μPAP systems. The cNODE Modem Embed provides flexibility to integrate transponder electronics into a custom pressure housing.
Support information Should you need technical support for your cNODE Modem Embed you must contact a Kongsberg Maritime office. A list of all our offices is provided on our website. You can also contact our main support office in Norway.
Modem Embed Instruction Manual About Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects. Such flow can be caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to printed circuit boards and electronic modules.
Installing the cNODE Modem Embed cables Precautions to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive printed circuit boards and electronic modules must always be transported and stored in protective antistatic packing bags. It as also important that they are not transported or stored close to strong electrostatic, electromagnetic or radioactive fields. If it is necessary to open and touch the printed circuit board or module inside the protective bag, the following precautions must be taken.
Modem Embed Instruction Manual Prepare 8 wires with the appropriate length for the modem interface. Install a crimp terminal in one end of each cable. Install the crimp terminals in a Molex 8–pin receptacle according to the cable drawing.
Installing the cNODE Modem Embed cables • 1x Molex 8–pin receptacle 43025-0800 • 8 x Molex Female crimp terminal 43030-0008 Procedure Use a yellow wire (0.5 mm ) and connect the white wire from the transducer with both capacitors and the yellow wire from the transformer.

General acoustic considerations General acoustic considerations Take this information into consideration when deploying the transponders. Acoustic range The depth rating should not be confused with acoustic range. The acoustic range is dependent on many factors, and some of the factors are outside control of the user. Vessel system The directivity and coverage area for the vessel system is different, depending on which system you are using.

Modem Embed Instruction Manual Sound velocity and ray bending Changes in sound velocity through the water column caused by changes in the water temperature and/or salinity can bend the acoustic signal and make it impossible to reach the vessel.
