Page 50: Where To Install The Transducer
Simrad EK80 Installation Manual Where to install the transducer A single answer to the question "where to install the transducer" cannot be given. The physical location of the transducer depends on the vessel's design and construction, how the hull is shaped, and how the water runs along the hull. There are however a number of important guidelines, and some of these are even conflicting.
Page 51: Avoid Protruding Objects Near The Transducer
The effect of slamming can be reduced by mounting the transducer as deep as possible on the hull. Note Kongsberg Maritime AS takes no responsibility for any damages to the transducer, the cable or the mounting arrangement, caused by slamming. Related topics...
Page 52: Mount The Transducer At Forward Part Of Hull To Minimize The Effects From The Flow Boundary Water Layer
Simrad EK80 Installation Manual Mount the transducer at forward part of hull to minimize the effects from the flow boundary water layer The upper water layers of the sea contain a myriad of small air bubbles created by the breaking waves. When the hull moves through water it will cause a disturbance, and this will generate friction.
Page 53: Keep The Transducer Far Away From The Propellers
Preparations Keep the transducer far away from the propellers The propulsion propellers is the dominant noise source on most vessels. The noise is easily transmitted through the water. This noise may often reduce the overall performance of your EK80. The transducer must be installed as far away from the propellers as possible. The best positions are therefore on the fore part of the hull.
Page 54: Summary And General Recommendations
Simrad EK80 Installation Manual Summary and general recommendations Some of the installation guidelines provided for transducer location may be conflicting. For this reason, each vessel must be treated individually in order to find the best compromise. In general, the most important factor is to avoid air bubbles in front of the transducer face.
Page 55 Preparations If the vessel hull has a bulbous bow, this may well be a good transducer location, but also in this case the flow pattern of the aerated water must be taken into consideration. The foremost part of the bulb is often a good location. Thruster Transducer location This applies to the vessel in normal trim and speed.
Page 56: Acoustic Noise
Simrad EK80 Installation Manual Acoustic noise As with any other hydroacoustic systems, the quality of the EK80 echo data and presentations are subject to unwanted acoustic noise. The echoes from any large and small target must be detected inside the noise.
Page 57 Preparations expressed in decibels. A ratio higher than 1:1 (greater than 0 dB) indicates more signal than noise. While SNR is commonly quoted for electrical signals, it can be applied to any form of signal [...]. Wikipedia, Copied September 2013 The signal is the echo that we want to know something about, while the noise is any unwanted signals or disturbances.
Page 58: Self Noise
Simrad EK80 Installation Manual Signal processing circuitry can create digital noise. Related topics Acoustic noise, page 54 Preparations, page 43 Self noise Any vessel equipped with a hydroacoustic system (for example echo sounder or sonar) will produce more or less self noise.
Page 59 Preparations Cavitation Cavitation is the formation of small air bubbles close to the transducer face. The bubbles appear because the local pressure becomes negative during parts of the acoustic pressure cycles. The cavitation threshold increases with the hydrostatic pressure. The noise is made when the bubbles implode.
Page 60: Ambient Noise
Simrad EK80 Installation Manual thickness depends on ships speed and on the roughness of the hull. All objects sticking out from the hull, or dents in the hull, will disturb the flow and will increase the thickness of the boundary layer. When the flow speed is high, the turbulence can be violent enough to destroy the integrity of the water.
Page 61: Fishing Gear Noise
Preparations Related topics Acoustic noise, page 54 Preparations, page 43 Fishing gear noise Whenever your fishing gear is in use, it will create noise. A bottom trawl, for instance, is a considerable source of acoustic noise. Still, this noise from the fishing gear will seldom be a limiting factor for hull mounted sonars or echo sounders.
Page 62 Simrad EK80 Installation Manual Note The information here must be considered as general advice. Each EK80 installation must be handled separately depending on the hull design and the other electrical and mechanical systems installed on the vessel. Reducing flow noise •...
Page 63: Vessel Coordinate System
Preparations Reducing rattle noise Ensure that no parts near the transducers can rattle as a result of water flow or vibrations. Reducing interference Interference from the transmission pulses from other hydroacoustic instruments on board the vessel is difficult to avoid. The problem may be reduced by choosing the working frequencies carefully and to some extent by separating the different transducers.
Page 64 Simrad EK80 Installation Manual while a motion sensor is located close to the vessel’s centre of gravity. Both of these are physically positioned far away from the transducer on a depth sensor, which may be located closer to the bow. Very often, the information from one sensor depends on data from an other.
Page 65 Preparations Coordinate system alternative origins If necessary, other origin locations may be defined for specific products or purposes. One example is the Navigation Reference Point that is frequently used. Whenever a vessel is surveyed to establish accurate offset information, the surveyor may also establish an alternative origin location.
