When running the PC system it is important to make sure that you leave at least 500 megabytes of free disk space for temporary system disk swap files. You will need to connect the Klein 3000 Transceiver and Processing Unit (TPU) to the Host PC computer. A Fast Ethernet Hub, 3Com, 8 port, product number 3C16722, works well.

SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4.10 TOW CABLE CONSIDERATIONS. Klein recommends that tow cables have the following characteristics. LIGHTWEIGHT TOW CABLE Type: Polyurethane jacketed, coaxial Kevlar reinforced Conductors: Coaxial copper Diameter (OD): 1.03 cm (0.405 in) Breaking Strength: 2270 kg (5000 lb)
Page 38
Other important characteristics to consider are that electrically the cable must be 50 ohms, and the whole cable assembly, deck cable, slip ring, winch, cable, and connec- tors must be coax all the way from the TPU to the towfish. 4-34 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE L-3 Klein Associates, Inc.
If you do not have access to a Hewlett Packard 4194A Impedance / Gain -Phase Analyzer, you can get a close reading by using a function generator, 50 ohm terminator and an oscilloscope. L-3 Klein Associates, Inc. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 4-35...
Info: If you use 1 volt peak for V in, V in = 1 Example: At 750 kHz you get a reading of 160 mV .16 v log .16 x 20 -15.9 dB loss 4-36 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE L-3 Klein Associates, Inc.
