Simrad EK80 Harbour Acceptance Test
Functional test of the EK80 with EC150-3C
A brief functional test is used to verify that the EK80 is operational with the EC150-3C.
The EC150-3C is a dual purpose unit. It can be used either as an acoustic Doppler
current profiler (ADCP) instrument to measure water current or as a split-beam echo
sounder. It can not operate these two functions simultaneously.
Prerequisites
The EK80 is installed as specified in the EK80 and EC150-3C installation manuals.
• The EK80 is turned off.
• The EC150-3C is installed in the EK80user interface.
• All relevant external sensors are connected to the EK80. The sensors are turned
on and operate normally.
• The vessel is berthed.
Neither tools nor instruments are required.
Caution
You must never set the EK80 to "ping" unless the transducer is submerged in water.
The transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air.
