  • Page 31: Chapter 3: Setup And Test

    CHAPTER 3: S ETUP AND This chapter provides instructions for unpacking the MA-X View 600 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 operator controls and indicators on the SP-III TPU and the Rack Mount TPU are also included.

  • Page 32: Locating The Topside System Components

    The Rack Mount TPU and the SonarPro Workstation require 100–125 or 200–250 VAC, 50–60 Hz power to operate. The MA-X View 600 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.

  • Page 33: Grounding

    3.3.1 Grounding It is important that the MA-X View 600 Sonar System be well grounded to minimize potential hazards to the operator and electrical interference from other equipment. A good ground for the system is a low impedance, well conducted path to sea water.
