3.1
Unpacking and Inspection
The towfish, the SP-II TPU together with cables and documentation, and the
laptop computer are shipped in separate enclosures. Optional ruggedized shipping
containers for each are also available. Unpack all the items and verify that all the
items listed on the packing list have been received. If there is any damage or if any
items are missing, immediately contact Klein Marine Systems, Inc. or your KMS
sales representative. In addition, record the serial numbers for the towfish, the
SP-II TPU and the laptop computer. The towfish serial number can be found on the
towfish tow bracket, and the SP-II TPU, on the rear of the unit. The serial number
for the laptop computer is located on the back. As a minimum, the Series 3900
Sonar System includes the following items:
• Towfish
• SP-II TPU
• Tow cable
• AC power cord
• DC power cord
• Navigation cable pigtail
• Configuration cable with USB/RS-232 converter
• LAN cable
3.2
Locating the SP-II TPU and the Laptop Computer
The SP-II TPU is partially sealed against spray and inclement weather. However,
for equipment longevity, it is best to locate the SP-II TPU in a sheltered area. The
computer should be located near the SP-II TPU in a sheltered area. For operational
convenience and safety, this area should be close to or in ready communication
with the bridge and the winch operator. The sonar operator must have the ability to
alert the helmsman or winch operator if hazardous operational conditions develop.
Make sure that the location of the SP-II TPU and the computer provides adequate
clearance for personnel access.
