About this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide the descriptions, procedures and detailed parameter explanations required to allow for safe and efficient use of the cNODE Embed. Target audience This manual is intended for all users of the cNODE Embed.
Kongsberg cNODE Embed System description cNODE Embed is designed for integration onto AUVs, ROVs or other vehicles where space and weight are restricted. The cNODE Embed provides flexibility to integrate transponder electronics into a custom pressure housing. This reduces the size, weight and the need for subsea interface cabling.
Support information Should you need technical support for your cNODE 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. Manuals and technical information can be downloaded from our support website.
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 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.
Embed Instruction Manual Prepare 2 red and 2 black wires with the appropriate length for the power. Add crimp terminals to the end of the wires. Install the crimp terminals in a Molex 4-pin receptacle according to the cable drawing.
Installing the cNODE Embed cables Use one red wire (0.5 mm ) and connect the black wire from the transducer with the red wire from the transformer. Use two black wires (0.5 mm ) and connect both to the black wire from the transformer.

Embed Instruction Manual Procedure Use one yellow wire (0.5 mm ) and connect the white wire from the transducer with both capacitors and the yellow wire from the transformer. Use one red wire (0.5 mm ) and connect the black wire from the transducer with both capacitors and the red wire from the transformer.

Embed Instruction Manual 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.

General acoustic considerations 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. 429468/B...
