Simrad EK80
Wide band scientific echo sounder
Installation Manual
This manual provides you with the basic information required to install
the Simrad EK80 Wide band scientific echo sounder. The manual is
intended for technical personnel; such as skilled shipyard workers,
electricians, qualified engineers and naval architects.
The EK80 software supports several different transceiver units. The
information is mainly prepared for EK80 installations on a vessel.
For installation of other transceivers supported by the EK80, see the
relevant publications.
For information about the practical use of the EK80, refer to the EK80
Reference Manual and/or the EK80 context sensitive On-line help.
Caution
You must never set the EK80 to "ping" unless the transducer is
submerged in water. Most transducers are damaged beyond repair
if they transmit in open air. Prevent inadvertent use of the EK80
whenever a transducer is not submerged.
Additional end-user documents related to the EK80 can be found
on our website. This includes publications that are translated to
other languages. Selected publications are also provided on IETM
(Interactive Electronic Technical Manual) formats.
